Connor Essegian added 13 points for Nebraska. Damon Wilkinson and Jacob Lanier each chipped in with 11 points. Wilkinson made all nine of his free-throw attempts and had one of the Cornhuskers' four blocks.

It was tied 17-all with 12:43 remaining before Nebraska pulled away for a 58-32 lead at the break.
