Photo Courtesy FIBA.comFormer Nebraska women's basketball All-American Kelsey Griffin captured tournament MVP honors in her first appearance with the Australian National Team at the 2017 Asia Cup in Bangalore, India.
Griffin, a 6-2 forward from Eagle River, Alaska, captured the MVP award after erupting for 30 points, 15 rebounds, three blocks and two steals in Saturday's championship game against Japan. Despite Griffin's performance, Japan claim its second straight Asia Cup with a 74-73 win over Australia. The Opals settled for silver after suffering their first loss in the tournament, but they did secure a spot at the 2018 FIBA World Cup in Spain with their top-four finish in India.
