Hoibergs Expecting Fun, Emotional Night

Fred Hoiberg can offer a solid scouting report on at least one Michigan State basketball player.

That would be his son, sophomore guard Jack Hoiberg.

"He's quick," Fred Hoiberg said. "He's got his dad's quickness, his mom's ability to shoot, so he's a pretty complete player."

That tongue-in-cheek comment might not seem so funny if Jack Hoiberg, a walk-on guard, would play in Thursday night's game between Nebraska and Michigan State at Pinnacle Bank Arena.

"Now that," Fred Hoiberg said, "will be weird."

Otherwise, the Nebraska head coach isn't sure how he'll react when he sees his son suited for the opposing team.
