Half-Court Press: Takeaways from Creighton and Nebraska's open practices & schedule thoughts

In the latest episode of Half-Court Press, Joel Lorenzi and Wilson Moore discuss what each learned from Creighton and Nebraska's first open practice of the 2023 basketball season and give their takes on what each team has in store during conference play.  The duo open the pod by breaking down the breaking news from the NBA with Damian Lillard being traded to Milwaukee. Joel then runs down what portions of the Bluejays' Big East schedule will be toughest, including a conversation about just how deep the league is and its semblance to the Big East from the '80s.  Wilson gives his own takeaways from NU's Big Ten schedule before Joel gives a recap of CU's practice that included watching an improved Issac Traudt, what coach McDermott is needing from Trey Alexander this year without point guard Ryan Nembhard, and how Steven Ashworth will be used to provide more explosive shooting. Wilson wraps up the episode by exploring what the expectations are for the Huskers, what fascinates him about the team's varying pieces, and a new addition that impressed him the most. Support the show: https://www.omaha.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
