Nebraska junior forward Jack McVeigh will play for Australia in the summer's World University Games.
McVeigh is one of 12 players selected for the Australian team, which will compete in Taipei Aug. 19-29. He is just the third Husker basketball player to compete in the World University Games, joining two Husker Hall of Famers — Eric Piatkowski (1993) and Dave Hoppen (1985).
This isn't the first time McVeigh has represented his country in international competition. The 6-foot-8 forward was captain of the Australian U-19 team and played in the U-19 World Championships in 2015, and played for the senior national team in the 2014 Sino-Australia Challenge.
