Kareem Rozier led Winthrop (3-4) with 14 points, Daylen Berry added 12 and Pharell Boyogueno scored 11. Logan Duncomb fouled out in the final seconds with 10 rebounds and eight points.
Nebraska, which went into the game leading the Big Ten and No. 20 nationally in made 3s per game (11.5), made 13 3-pointers.
Sandfort hit a 3-pointer and Jacobsen followed with a three-point play to make it 47-42 with 15:07 left in the game and the Cornhuskers led the rest of the way. Mast scored Nebraska’s final 13 points — including three 3s — in a 15-5 run that made it 67-54 with 5:35 to play.
