After Oregon State (10-3) tied it at 51 with 10:20 to go, Nebraska used a 10-2 run to take control as the Beavers went five-plus minutes without a field goal. The Cornhuskers' lead didn't drop below four points the rest of the way.
Berke Buyuktuncel banked in a 3-pointer with 1:51 left to extend Nebraska's lead to 72-63.
Buyuktuncel finished with 16 points and three 3-pointers, and Juwan Gary added 14 for Nebraska.
Nate Kingz scored 19 points and Damarco Minor added 16 for Oregon State.
Williams scored 10 points in the first half to help Nebraska take a 34-33 lead at the break. The Cornhuskers shot 50% from the field, including 6 of 11 from 3-point range in the first half.
It was the second straight year Nebraska and Oregon State met at a neutral site, with last year's game being played in South Dakota.
