In the second half, things were back-and-forth, but the Trojans pulled away late to secure the win.
Brice Williams had an uncharacteristic turnover in the final second for the Huskers. He finished with 17 points.
Juwan Gary had a career-high 27 points.
The Huskers are now on a five-game losing streak.
Nebraska will be back in action this Sunday at noon in Madison against Wisconsin.
