Indianapolis - Nebraska fought hard to carry multiple leads against No. 7 Maryland midway through the fourth quarter, but the Terrapins prevailed down the stretch in an 83-73 win over the upset-minded Huskers on Thursday in the Big Ten Tournament quarterfinals at Bankers Life Fieldhouse.
All-Big Ten guard Sam Haiby erupted for 19 points in the second half on her way to 24 points, nine rebounds and six assists in the game against the Big Ten regular-season champion Terps. Haiby, who reached the 1,000-point mark in her career with a three-pointer in the corner early in the third quarter, buried back-to-back threes to open the fourth and give Nebraska a 60-57 lead with 8:55 left.
