Walker scored 14 of his points after halftime, helping Nebraska overcome a six-point deficit at the break. Walker was also NU’s star of the second half and simply took over down the stretch.

Emmanuel Bandoumel gave Nebraska a 71-69 lead, finishing a beautiful pass feed from Walker, and Walker tacked on a free throw to give NU a three-point lead.
