Senior Marcus Relphorde led the team with 19 points, five rebounds, four steals and two assists. He nailed all three three-pointers he attempted and made all four of his free throws. Levi Knutson added 13 points. Alec Burks and Cory Higgins each scored 12 points. Andre Roberson had a team-high 10 rebounds.
Nebraska had a three-way lead in scoring at 10 points with Jorge Brian Diaz, Toney McCray and Lance Jeter.
