Dinner and a basketball game: Hoiberg gets a reunion with his son this week as NU readies for Spartans

If nothing else, Nebraska has an extremely detailed scouting report on at least one of the Michigan State Spartans.

"You gotta crowd his left hand, that's for sure," Nebraska coach Fred Hoiberg said Wednesday. "He's quick — he got his dad's quickness and his mom's ability to shoot. So he's a pretty complete player."

That "complete player" is MSU walk-on Jack Hoiberg, who happens to be the second-oldest child of Fred and Carol Hoiberg. Jack and the Spartans visit Pinnacle Bank Arena for a 7:30 p.m. tip Thursday.

It will be the first time Fred Hoiberg has coached against one of his sons, and neither side seems too sure just how that will feel.
