John Shurna scored 28 points and Drew Crawford added 21 to lead Northwestern to an 84-74 win over Nebraska Thursday night in Evanston, Illinois.

Northwestern (13-8, 3-6 Big Ten) dominated the game behind the arc, making 14 three-pointers to end a three-game losing streak.

After Brandon Richardson's steal and lay-up cut Northwestern's lead to 54-53 with 10:36 left, the Wildcats responded with nine unanswered points on three straight three-pointers by Crawford, Shurna and Reggie Hearn.

It appeared Northwestern had control of the game with under three minutes to play and a 75-66 lead, but Dylan Talley hit a three-pointer and Spencer made another to get the Huskers to within 75-72 with 1:34 left.

Shurna answered with a driving lay-up and Dave Sobolewski made three free throws in the final minute to secure the win.
