Moses was 8-of-12 from the floor, including four of OSU's 10 points in the overtime period. James Anderson also had 18 points and grabbed eight boards before fouling out with 3-1/2 seconds left in the OT period.
Nebraska took an early seven-point lead before the Cowboys chipped away and eventually took a six-point lead of their own 3-1/2 minutes before intermission. The Pokes led 29-27 at the half.
Neither team ever led by more than seven points and Oklahoma State took a 66-64 lead with less than a minute to play. However, Cookie Miller, the Huskers leading scorer, hit two free throws with 20 seconds remaining and the game went into overtime.
OSU made five baskets in the extra period while Nebraska scored all eight points at the charity stripe. NU went 27-of-31 from the line, good for 87.1 percent.
Byron Eaton scored 12 points for the Cowboys while Obi Muonelo and Keiton Page each added 10.
Oklahoma State (13-5, 2-2 Big 12) will host the Oklahoma Sooners on Monday night inside Gallagher-Iba Arena.
