Strong Nebraska defense and poor Georgetown<\/a><\/strong> shooting led to the Huskers (19-14) jumping out to a commanding 14-point lead out of the gate. Williams had 10 of his 28 points at the break to help NU take a 34-24 advantage into halftime.<\/p>\n

That marked NU\u2019s first halftime lead since being up 34-28 at Oregon on Feb. 2 \u2013 a stretch of 10 straight games.<\/p>\n

Nebraska built that lead to as many as 19 in the early minutes of the second half, but Georgetown kept it interesting. The Hoyas (18-16) scored 45 points on 50% shooting after halftime, cutting their deficit to down to eight with 9:21 still to play.<\/p>\n

The Huskers kept the game in control at the free-throw line, though, going 10-for-12 at the stripe over the final 20 minutes and 16-for-18 for the game.<\/p>\n

With the win, Nebraska advances to the semifinal round against Boise State on Saturday at T-Mobile Arena. That game will tip-off at 12:30 p.m. CT on FOX.<\/p>\n
