Episode Description

In the latest episode of Half-Court Press, Wilson Moore and Jon Walker break down Nebraska and Creighton men's basketball's season openers, both against a pesky University of Texas Rio Grande Valley team that gave NU and CU challenges.

The guys start with Nebraska who earned a 20-point win over UTRGV but didn't always look like a team who was going to win by that margin.

Wilson says the offense was sputtering at times but has to do with all of the Husker newcomers trying to form chemistry.

Jon takes a deep dive into how historical Ryan Kalkbrenner's career-high scoring night was, comparing his numbers to all-time marks in program history. 

The guys have a conversation about how much the Bluejays defense struggled and why it could be a concern as the team continues to ramp up competition during its nonconference schedule.

The duo then wrap up the episode by looking ahead to this weekend's opponents and how coaches may adjust heading into their next matchups.
