Kelsey Griffin scored 17 points and No. 3 Nebraska remained unbeaten with a surprisingly tough, hard-fought 67-60 victory Wednesday night over injury-weakened Kansas.
After making only 6 of 23 shots in the first half and trailing 30-20 at intermission, the Jayhawks shocked the Cornhuskers (22-0, 9-0 Big 12) by going 11 for 11 in a stunning second-half comeback. Carolyn Davis tied it 41-all with a jumper and then LaChelda Jacobs gave Kansas a 43-41 lead when she stole the ball at midcourt and drove in for a layup.
The Huskers scored 19 points off 19 turnovers by Kansas, which led 53-49 on Jacobs' jumper.
It was tied 55-55 when Yvonne Turner made a 3-pointer and the Huskers never trailed again.
The Jayhawks (14-8, 4-5) have lost point guard Angel Goodrich and preseason All-Big 12 player of the year Danielle McCray to season-ending knee injuries.
