Quote

Emma Hoiberg knows a thing or two about basketball.

 

The knowledge almost comes with the last name, which carries some weight in basketball circles, especially in the Midwest thanks to Emma’s Uncle Fred.

 

But Emma isn’t just a niece of a famous coach. She’s got a passion that backs up her last name. She was there in 2014, on the court, when Fred and Iowa State won the Big 12 tournament. That was when she fell in love with basketball. She’s since talked hoops with Dwight Howard and Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo. She can pronounce

 

The Greek Freak’s last name with ease, too.

 

Basketball and the Hoiberg family is a marriage, which is why when Emma decided she was going to Nebraska over Iowa State, she reached out to the Nebraska basketball office.

 

Despite living in Omaha her entire life — she graduated from Omaha Central — Emma didn’t grow up around Husker hoops. She hardly gets the hype around the Husker football team, if she’s being honest. But she’s a Hoiberg in college. So she almost has to be in the basketball world.
