Does shorthanded Creighton need to change its identity? How will Nebraska respond?

In the latest episode of Half-Court Press, Wilson Moore and Jon Walker discuss the latest from the Creighton and Nebraska beats, including two Bluejays leaving an already shorthanded program. 

The guys open with the breaking news regarding freshman Larry Johnson and redshirt freshman Sterling Knox leaving the program, with both players expected to enter the transfer portal and both left voluntarily, not kicked out. 

The two dive into the main roster issue which is that Pop Isaacs is also out for the year and the team is suddenly shorthanded heading into a road battle vs. Alabama. The duo talk about whether Creighton needs to change its identity to more of a physical, defensive mindset moving forward.

Wilson unwraps what went wrong in the Huskers' embarrassing loss to Michigan State, trying not to overreact to the score while discussing areas NU must get better in. He also reveals what he learned from Nebraska's availability, including how Fred Hoiberg pushed his team in practice and how important the team regards rebounding to win Big Ten games.

Jon wraps up the episode by looking ahead to CU's matchup against Alabama, how both teams play similat styles, and why Creighton can win if they get similar efforts offensively from Jamiya Neal who has stepped into an off-guard role.
