Creighton's Russian connection, MSG dreams, Maryland cools off Nebraska

In the latest episode of Half-Court Press, Wilson Moore and Jon Walker are joined by Tom Shatel to discuss the latest in Nebraska and Creighton basketball. Jon opens with a "Russian welcome" after Creighton's latest social media trend compared Omaha to a Siberian envronment. The guys then look at the Bluejays' shot at a Big East title with a huge deciding game in NYC this weekend and talk about why the Huskers had its hot streak snapped by Maryland. Tom talks about the unpredictability of college basketball and why CU will still have a chance at the Big East title even if they fall this Sunday. Wilson then breaks down NU's loss to the Terps, a team that seemingly has more talent than the Huskers, before a conversation about the difficulties in getting a team of transfers to play with a toughness mindset. Jon gives a recap of CU's past week, including what he's seen in Jamiya Neal and his growth over the course of the year, before talking about why the Jays fell short to UConn. The trio discusses why Creighton-UConn has become such a growing rivalry between new and old Big East squads. The episode comes to a close with One Pressing Question and a tale from Tom Shatel on his travels to Boulder back when he was a Mizzou beat writer.
