But Boozer and 20 points were not sufficient last year. The Cornhuskers controlled the ball in typical Jerry Bush style to gain a 55-48 victory.
And while this may sound like another wild statistic that sports-writers often pull from a musty record book, the Cornhuskers have proven themselves a little more difficult than shooting the proverbial duck from the well-known pond, even if you have a Boozer or a Chamberlain.
The Kansas basketball team will attempt to become the second team to defeat Nebraska on their home court this year.
However, KU fans were unable to unite in blissful cheers at the Nebraska feat. It was still the campus style to wear long faces from the week before. Then the headlines had read: "Cornhuskers Smash KU Title Hopes." The score had been 43-41. Somewhere in the story the words "ball control" peered through the print connoting a distasteful meaning.
Wilt had 18 points and Nebraska's Jimmy Kubacki was only credited with two points. You guessed it, those were the two fatal points that defeated us.
Seven minutes prior to this bedlam Kubacki was sitting on the Nebraska bench in street clothes, out because of an injury. With 6:53 remaining in the game Cornhusker Gary Reimers was injured. After pleading with coach Jerry Bush, Kubacki was allowed to suit up to replace Reimers.
Boozer and 22 points were enough to break Nebraska's.12-game winning streak at Lincoln a week and a half ago.

With two minutes left and the score tied, the 5-foot 10-inch guard fired a shot from just right of the free throw circle. The shot was perfect.
Prior to the Kubacki feat, towards the first part of the season Chamberlain scored 46 points for a conference record as Kansas won 102-46. Bush then promised Chamberlain would not do that well again on the Nebraska court.
And Wilt didn't.

League Thinclads Ready for Action
Power-packed Kansas will host Oklahoma State and Kansas State in the headline triangular here Saturday night. Coach Bill Easton is hoping to regain services of spinner-hurdler Charlie Tidwell, who missed the first two meets with incomplete class work, and will show off star Dan Ralston.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — (UPI) Big Eight track men will see almost as much action as basketball teams this weekend as thinclads warm up for the conference indoor meet at Kansas City Feb. 27-28.
Missouri will be host to Indiana in a dual at Columbia Saturday afternoon with Coach Tom Botts missing four of his five hurdles.
Ralston stunned the Michigan State Relays field last Saturday by winning the two-mile in 9 minutes, 13.5 seconds.
MU Freshmen Give Hope for Next Year
COLUMBIA, Mo.—After watching the Missouri freshmen in the first intercollegiate competition, MU fans have some reason to believe that things may be better next year at the varsity level. The freshmen defeated Moberly Junior College, 76-53 this week.
Two hours later the Missouri varsity ended the school's longest losing streak by defeating Oklahoma.
The Junior Tigers were in command all the way and led 46-37 at the half. Moberly went scoreless from the field for 12 minutes after the intermission and MU waltzed away with the game.
Lyle Houston led the fresh scoring with 20 points and Terry Turlington had 16.
However, Botts will have three lettermen who did not make last week's trip north, mill Jim Sanders, spinner Jim Leslie and high-jumper Jim Kigore.
Iowa State entered 22 men in an annual dual meet with Drake in Des Moines this afternoon.
Friday. Feb. 13. 1959.
Colorado and Oklahoma travel to Lincoln for a triangular meet at Nebraska Saturday.
Pettit-Hagan Lead Hawks Over Knicks
The Bob Fettit-Cliff Hagan combination is becoming the most deadly one-two scoring punch in the National Basketball Association.
Pettit and Hagan looped in 39 points between them in the second half last night to provide the St. Louis Hawks with a 106-105 edge over the New York Knickerbockers.
The St. Louis victory combined with Cincinnati's 119-114 triumph over the Minneapolis Lakers at Portland, Ore., assured the Hawks of at least a tie for the Western Division crown.
