Lincoln - Nebraska senior forward Kelsey Griffin continued her special season by capturing her third consecutive Big 12 Player-of-the-Week award on Monday.
Griffin, who earned her fifth player-of-the-week award of the season, produced two more remarkable performances last week to help the Huskers claim their first-ever Big 12 regular-season title.
The 6-2 senior forward from Eagle River, Alaska, opened the week with 30 points and 13 rebounds in No. 3 Nebraska's Big 12 title-clinching win at No. 11 Oklahoma on Wednesday. In a battle of the Big 12's top two teams, Griffin hit 11-of-19 shots from the field against constant Sooner double-teams, while connecting on 8-of-10 free throws. She added an assist, a block and a steal while playing a Big 12-season-high 35 minutes.
She capped her week with a record-breaking performance in Nebraska's home win over Missouri on Saturday. Griffin scored 19 points and pulled down a career high 17 rebounds, while also blocking a career-best five shots. She added three steals and an assist, while also setting the school record by hitting 17 free throws in a school-record-tying 18 attempts.
Griffin finished the week by averaging 24.5 points, 15.0 rebounds, 1.0 assist, 2.0 steals and 3.0 blocks. She hit 25-of-28 free throws on the week, and has smashed the school career record for both free throws made and attempted in her career. She also surpassed the school single-season mark in free throw attempts, and needs just two more free throws made to break that single-season record.
Griffin is averaging 19.9 points and a Big 12-leading 10.6 rebounds per game. She also leads the Huskers with 49 steals while adding a team-leading 22 charges drawn this season. She has also blocked 20 shots this year and has moved into a tie for eighth on NU's career block chart with 88. She ranks among the top 25 players nationally in scoring, rebounding and field goal percentage.
Griffin will hit her home court at the Bob Devaney Sports Center for the last time on Wednesday, when the Huskers play Kansas on Senior Night in Lincoln.
Griffin will be joined by fellow seniors Yvonne Turner, Cory Montgomery, Nicole Neals, Kala Kuhlmann and Nikki Bober, during pregame ceremonies on Senior Night. Tip-off is set for 7:05 p.m., with live statewide television coverage by NET.
