BOULDER — Kelsey Griffin scored 24 points and No. 6 Nebraska remained unbeaten with an 80-64 victory over Colorado on Saturday.
Nebraska (19-0, 6-0 Big 12) is off to the best start of any Big 12 team since the conference’s inception in 1996-97.
Bianca Smith and Chucky Jeffrey led Colorado (12-8, 2-5) with 14 points each. Jeffrey had 11 rebounds for her first career double-double as the Buffs suffered their season-high third straight loss.
Wyoming 98, AFA 37
LARAMIE — The numbers posted by Wyoming in its rout of Air Force (3-17) were staggering: The Cowgirls (13-6) started the game with a 16-3 run, led 52-14 at halftime, had a field-goal percentage of 75.5 (37-of-49), made 20-of-30 3-pointers and had 34 assists on their 34 field goals.
San Diego St. 59, CSU 38
SAN DIEGO — CSU coach Kristen Holt was not in the mood to give the Aztecs (13-6) much credit after the loss, saying, “They played sloppy, but we were worse.”
CSU (11-9) had a season- high 35 turnovers, and a season-high 17 steals were not enough to offset the giveaways.
Arkansas St. 74, DU 58
JONESBORO, Ark. — A rare snowstorm in Arkansas seemed to put the chill on the Pioneers (13-8), who fell behind 27-9 to start the game.
DU was able to cut the deficit to eight points with a 13-3 run, but the Red Wolves (9-12) never let DU get closer than nine points thereafter.
Colo. Mines 78, Regis 74
Angie Charchalis broke a 72-72 tie with a free throw, then made a jumper, and Mines (13-6) beat the Rangers (9-10) at Regis Fieldhouse.
Colorado Christian 71, Metro St. 68
The Cougars (10-8) took the lead for good at Auraria Events Center on Juanise Cornell’s jumper with 3:32 to play, and Metro (12-8) could muster only two free throws down the stretch.
