The Nebraska basketball regular season drew to a close on Sunday with an ugly loss to Iowa, capping off a free fall that left the Huskers out of the Big Ten tournament entirely.

Then there’s a little discussion on Fred Hoiberg’s future and what remains on the roster in Lincoln — should those players choose to stick around.

The Husker247 Podcast returned on Thursday with a new episode discussing the latest happenings in Nebraska football.

The podcast with Mike Schaefer and Michael Bruntz focused on Tuesday’s press conference where special teams coordinator Mike Ekeler, defensive line coach Terry Bradden and defensive backs coach Addison Williams met the Nebraska media.

Discussion centered on what way Ekleler can bring change to the special teams unit, how Nebraska addresses a defensive backs crunch and one defensive lineman that is a genuine curiosity.

The podcast finishes with talk about Nebraska’s spring activities slated to replace the Red-White game and the performance in the combine.
