A friendly sibling rivalry is brewing in Big Ten basketball.

Nia Coffey nudged her little brother out of the spotlight Tuesday when the Northwestern senior forward from Hopkins was named the Big Ten Player of the Week. A week early Amir Coffey, also a former Hopkins star, earned his first weekly conference honor for the Gophers as the Big Ten Freshman of the Week.

Nia averaged 28 points, 7.5 rebounds, six assists and 2.5 steals per game with a 66.7 field-goal percentage last week in victories against ranked Florida and Evansville.

Amir was named the league’s top freshman a week ago after averaging 16.7 points, four rebounds and 1.3 steals per game in the Gophers wins over UT Arlington, Mount St. Mary’s and St. John’s.
