Nebraska Cornhuskers News: Jeremiah Charles the champ, more

The Nebraska Cornhuskers basketball had the state rocking thanks to a win over the Minnesota Golden Gophers. But that game was only part of the fun of Sunday night. There was also a dunk contest at halftime that had the crowd roaring.

Defensive lineman Kai Wallin, running back Emmett Johnson, defensive back Jeremiah Charles, tight end Thomas Fidone and quarterback Heinrich Haarberg went toe-to-toe in the contest as they tried to come up with the craziest and best dunks of the night.

Some of the dunks were great, some didn't go as planned. In the final, Charles pulled out an impressive windmill, two-handed reverse dunk and that was enough to win the contest. One dunk that got the most attention was when Emmett Johnson incorporated Nebraska Cornhuskers head coach Matt Rhule into his act.
