LAFAYETTE — Evan Eschmeyer first spotted Kristina Divjak as she walked off the basketball court at Northwestern University. He was a 6-foot-11 junior center, she was a freshman shooting guard. He thought she was hot. “Oh, please! I was wearing a sweatshirt!” she recalled with a hearty laugh. So began the Eschmeyers’ hoops fairytale. Evan and Kristina starred at Northwestern, fell in love, got married, had three kids, and extended a lineage of basketball royalty with deep roots in America’s heartland. The Eschmeyer family — mom, dad, the twins, Alexandra and Elijah, and youngest daughter Mila — recently gathered in the Peak to Peak Charter School gym to talk about basketball, their excitement over the Pumas’ upcoming season and Nikola Jokic. “We love the ‘Joker,’ ” said 9-year-old Mila. “We sure do, but it would be annoying for people to watch Nuggets games with us,” Kristina said.
