Creighton's transition between eras, Brice Williams' growth at Nebraska

Half-Court Press

In the latest episode of Half-Court Press, Wilson Moore and Jon Walker recap the first few weeks of Creighton and Nebraska's preseason and preview both teams' groups of guards.

The guys open with thoughts from Creighton's first practice and the transition between eras that is underway as the Bluejays move on from Trey Alexander and Baylor Scheierman, with Ryan Kalkbrenner as the bridge in between.

The duo break down CU's big question which is how can Greg McDermott make these new pieces work?

Jon talks about Jasen Green who's been the bright spot of the preseason for Creighton and how he improved in the offseason.

Wilson then breaks down what he learned from Nebraska media days which is the Huskers still have leadership in Rienk Mast but Juwan Gary and Brice Williams have taken those roles as the leaders of the program and were the team's representatives in Illinois.

Wilson also takes a look at NU's backcourt group which includes two point guards — a big difference from last year.

Jon's preview of the backcourt includes a breakdown of Pop Isaacs who will try and fill Alexander's spot. Another question he ponders is who will fill Francisco Farabello's important role off the bench?

The guys roll through a few preseason notes including TV times for several Jay games, who's intriguing to watch at the Red-White scrimmage, who's to blame for Nebraska's new court design at Pinnacle Bank Arena and more.
