The Huskers were down 38-30 going into the second half.
Nebraska needed someone besides Brice Williams and Juwan Gary to step up in the second, and two players did.
Connor Essegian scored all 17 of his points in the second half, going 2-for-4 from deep.
Cale Jacobsen played 22 minutes Monday night, the most he has all season.
He only scored two points, but he dished out five assists, snagged three steals, grabbed two rebounds and played stellar defense.
Williams finished the night with a game-high 30 points.
