LEXINGTON, Ky. — Temira Poindexter hit a corner 3-pointer with 56 seconds left in overtime — her eighth 3 of the game — and fifth-seeded Kansas State dodged four misses by No. 4 seed Kentucky in the closing seconds to win 80-79 in the second round of the women's NCAA Tournament. Kentucky star Georgia Amoore missed a jumper with 21 seconds left, a 3-pointer with 16 seconds remaining and then a baseline layup at the buzzer. Poindexter missed her first six shots but finished 8 of 15 beyond the arc to score 24 points. The visiting Wildcats advanced to face either Southern California or Mississippi State in the Sweet 16.
