Episode Description

In the latest episode of Half-Court Press, Wilson Moore and Jon Walker discuss the latest in Nebraska and Creighton basketball, including a revamped Huskers team who has put itself firmly back on the NCAA tournament bubble and a Bluejays squad that continues to find ways to stack wins.

The guys start by identifying how NU has taken off over the past 10 days and what has changed in their play, such as a resurgence from Brice Williams and a much-improved, more active defense.

Next, Jon breaks down a crazy road win over Villanova followed up by a recap of the Jays' dismantling of Providence that included a Big East POTY-esque performance from Ryan Kalkbrenner.

Lastly, the duo look ahead to the teams' upcoming opponents and Jon discusses why the next three games will determine not just Creighton's outlook, but the top of the Big East.

The guys discuss what NU needs to earn a spot in the tournament before eying Nebraska's next 'Super Bowl': a crucial home game vs. Ohio State and where the Buckeyes sit in Wilson's mind among the Big Ten's tiers.
