Dear Old Nebraska U’s weeklong celebration of the 150th anniversary of its charter rolled onto center court Feb. 13 as the Husker men’s basketball defeated Minnesota, 62-61.

During halftime of the tilt at Pinnacle Bank Arena, fans were treated to a tribute to the university’s 150 years; a performance by Nebraska Steel, the University of Nebraska–Lincoln’s first student ensemble dedicated to playing steel drum music; and a jubilant Herbie Husker leaping from a cake.
