Week 4






No. 3 ranked Nebraska beat No. 11 Oklahoma Sooners at the Lloyd Noble Center Wednesday night 80-64.

Kelsey Griffin led Nebraska with 30 points and 13 rebounds, and Cory Montgomery added a season-high 24 points for the Cornhuskers (26-0, 13-0 Big 12). With the win, Nebraska claimed its first Big 12 title.

Nebraska ended the game on an 18-1 run and beat OU by 16 points, the same margin of victory No. 1 Connecticut took down OU with earlier this month in Norman. Both Nebraska and UConn remain undefeated.

"I don’t think we fought for the full 40 minutes together as a team," said senior forward Amanda Thompson. "We kind of separated a little bit when they took some shots and we didn’t. We’ve got to learn from those little things and make things tighter when we get in those positions, and play harder on defense."

The women take on No. 14 Texas Saturday in Austin. Earlier this month, Texas beat OU in Norman 75-57.
