Nebraska incoming freshman Jack McVeigh will represent Australia next month at the 2015 FIBA Under-19 World Championship in Greece. McVeigh was one of the 12 players announced Thursday by Basketball Australia.
The tournament runs from June 27 to July 5, and Australia will face Canada (June 27), Tunisia (June 28) and Italy (June 30) in pool play. The team will leave Australia on June 10 and play tune-up games in Spain and Croatia before heading to Greece. Australia is seeking its first medal in the event since 2003, when Andrew Bogut led Australia to a gold medal, while featuring former Husker great Aleks Maric.
