LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) -- Marshall Moses scored a game-high 18 points and Keiton Page added 14, but the Cowboys could not overcome a 10-rebound deficit and Oklahoma State lost to Nebraska 65-54 here Saturday evening.
Lance Jeter scored 16 points and Nebraska broke a three-game losing streak, including a four-game skid to OSU.
Oklahoma State (16-8, 4-6), coming off back-to-back home wins over Missouri and Oklahoma, is 0-5 in Big 12 road games. The Cowboys now play three straight against nationally-ranked opponents: Texas, Texas A&M and Kansas.
The Cowboys overcame big deficits to beat Oklahoma, Kansas State and Iowa State, but they couldn't pull off a comeback against Nebraska, shooting 31 percent in the second half and 36 percent for the game.
The Huskers took their first double-digit lead on Toney McCray's 3-pointer, and it was a 15-point game after Caleb Walker's 3-pointer and Brandon Richardson's layup off a steal with 7:41 left.
Ray Penn hit back-to-back 3s to pull the Cowboys within 60-51 with 4:41 left, but Brandon Ubel made an 18-footer to put Nebraska back up by 11.
Nebraska outscored the Cowboys 12-6 the last 8 minutes of the first half to turn a 19-19 tie into a 31-25 halftime lead.
The game was the last regular-season meeting between Oklahoma State and Nebraska as members of the Big 12. They played 53 years in a row as members of the same conference. The Huskers leave for the Big Ten next season.
