George Mason led for 36 minutes of game time and answered every Nebraska charge in the second half before pulling away for an 85-66 win Tuesday in the semifinals of the Cayman Islands Classic.
Nebraska, which trailed by 15 early in the second half, got within eight on Cam Mack's three-pointer with 6:06 left, but made just one field goal the rest of the way.
The Huskers were out-rebounded 49-26, and didn't pull down their first rebound until the 13:39 mark of the first half.
Still, NU was able to hang around. A Thorir Thorbjarnarson layup got the Huskers within six before George Mason answered with back-to-back threes.
