In the latest episode of Half-Court Press, Wilson Moore and Jon Walker talk why Nebraska and Keisei Tominaga particularly are the perfect Cinderella story for March Madness. Plus why Creighton's Baylor Scheierman is the unicorn of college basketball. The duo open with Nebraska's win over Minnesota — that keeps looking like a better win — and the unfortunate, but understandable, loss to Ohio State. They also discuss how the Huskers, particularly Keisei Tominaga, are the perfect Cinderella story for the NCAA tournament. The two also look at Creighton's loss to St. John's — and Rick Pitino's now iconic white suit — and dominant win over Seton Hall. Wilson and Jon discuss how matchups, not seeding, is what matters to the Jays in the NCAA tournament, and the impact Baylor Scheierman has had for CU. They also break down where both teams currently are in the bracketology and which players will be walking in both upcoming Senior Days.
