As Jack McVeigh sweats through the summer working to entrench himself in the Nebraska basketball team's lineup, the ebullient junior can turn an eye toward August, when he'll don his home country's colors as a player becoming more and more established on the international stage.
The 6-foot-8 forward will play for Australia in this summer's World University Games, it was announced Tuesday.
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).
