As the Nebraska men's basketball team grinds toward the beginning of the season, the Huskers got a special look into the past Monday.
Jimmy Kubacki, who hit the game-winning shot to lift Nebraska over Wilt Chamberlain and Kansas in 1958, visited Nebraska's Monday practice.
What made the visit even more special? Kubacki's coach on that 1958 Husker team was Fred Hoiberg's grandfather, Jerry Bush.
February 22, 1958.
Jimmy Kubacki nailed an 18-footer to beat Wilt Chamberlain's Jayhawks in Lincoln, 43-41.
