The Highlanders' Isaiah Wilkerson got the ball on the next possession and was fouled. He made the first of two free throws but missed the second.
Jheryl Wilson grabbed the offensive rebound and tried to tie with a jumper, which missed.
Andrew Gonzalez scored 14 points, Shawn Echols 11 and Terry Bembry 11 for the seventh-seeded Huskies (5-25).
