I must be behind the times, but I think this is the first I realized that the WBB Team would also be touring in Europe this summer. :Redface:

From the article in the OP.

Following Australia's appearance in the FIBA Under-19 World Cup, Bourne will join the Nebraska women's basketball team on its European Tour to close the summer. The Huskers, who will begin summer workouts and practices next week with the start of the University of Nebraska's first five-week summer session, will be competing in Italy and Spain, Aug. 1-11.
