In his time in East Lansing, Hoiberg has played in 41 career games and has scored 36 career points, dished out 20 assists, grabbed 8 rebounds and totaled 3 steals. He played in 14 games during this season, helping get the Spartans to the NCAA Tournament for a 23rd consecutive year.
During the 2019-20 season, Hoiberg started one game: Michigan State’s home game against Nebraska. It was a sentimental and special moment for both Jack and his father, who was on the other sideline.
Because he redshirted during the 2017-18 season and the NCAA granted a blanket waiver for all winter student-athletes this year, Hoiberg will still have two years of eligibility remaining.
