Got a fun one for the weekend, and it happens to be a nicely timed historical fact for the season the program is currently having:

“The Nebraska men’s basketball team took down the nation’s No. 4-ranked team and No. 1-ranked team just 12 days apart in 1958. What were the two teams the Huskers beat? And who was the star of the No. 4-ranked team that they upset?”

=================================

Answers:

Nebraska defeated No. 4 Kansas and superstar Wilt Chamberlain (43-41) and 12 days later upset No. 1 Kansas State (55-48) on March 3, 1958 for the program’s first-ever win over a top-ranked team.
