The most dramatic upset of Bush's tenure as coach came against no. 4 Kansas in 1958. The Jayhawks had defeated the Huskers 102–46 earlier in the year, with star center Wilt Chamberlain single-handedly matching Nebraska's 46 points. In the rematch, guard Jim Kubacki hit a jump shot with two seconds remaining to give Nebraska a 43–41 win. Kubacki was supposed to be out with a knee injury, but when team captain Gary Reimers hurt his leg with seven minutes remaining, Kubacki convinced Bush to let him suit up.
