EAST LANSING — Fred Hoiberg got an inside look at Michigan State’s basketball program last year. Tom Izzo let him sketch out some ideas on the whiteboard.
He even showed up at the Final Four wearing green and white — only a week after he was hired to coach Nebraska.
The 25th-ranked Spartans — who have Hoiberg's son Jack on the roster — will play at Lincoln on Thursday.
