After the break, the Seminoles began chipping away, using a 22-8 run, led by eight points from Rathan-Mayes, to pull to within 47-43 with 10:31 to play. After a dunk and a pair of free throws from Aaron Thomas on consecutive possessions brought the Seminoles to within 62-61 with 2:18 to go, Darin Rivers converted a layup and Tarin Smith hit a clutch 3-pointer before Nebraska sealed the win from the free throw line.
