Jasmine Simmons will be competing in the FISU World University Games (also known as the Universiade) this summer from July 3-11 in Naples, Italy, representing Team Australia. Team Australia will be competing Pool D against China, Finland, and Canada. For those curious, the USA will be represented by Mississippi State. Last season, Kat competed in the FISU America games. The schedule is as follows: July 3 -- vs. Finland @13:00 (4:00 AM PDT) July 4 -- vs. Canada @17:30 (8:30 AM PDT) July 5 -- vs. China @10:30 (1:30 AM PDT) Here is the press release and roster from australia.basketballLooks like the Aussies will be fielding a very competitive squad. Best of luck, Jas! Go get another world gold!

No, I don’t believe a roster has yet been released, but one teammate will be Anneli Maley, who played at Oregon and most recently TCU. She actually went back to Australia because she didn’t like college ball.

Jas was not in any of the pictures from camp, so I am going to assume she has been in Australia practicing for the games, and will report to campus shortly after.

Just some minor tidbits....The Aussie Women's team has only 3 players who played collegiately in the U.S....The Aussie Men's team has 11.
Mississippi State represents the U.S.A. This seems weird...I haven't located their roster so not sure who they are taking to Naples for these games.... The Australian Women won the Universiade Games in 2017 - - I'm interested to see if Jasmine makes an impact on this team.....If so, she should be ready for more floor time this year.... GO BEAVS !!

Technically Anneli Maley played collegiately with, one season at Oregon and ~half a season at TCU. She felt she was being used solely for rebounding, so is back in Australia, but does have the experience. Keely Froling, Alicia's twin, also played at SMU her freshmen and sophomore seasons, so she had played collegiately too. The games are open to players who were seniors in the 18-19 season too. -- Reading their board and looking over their twitter, fans speculate that Mississippi State's roster will be comprised of: - Jazzmun Holmes (Sr. in 18-19) - NR - Yemiyah Morris (Jr.) - NR - Andra Espinoza-Hunter (Jr.) - #16 - Bre'Amber Scott (Jr.) - NR - Sidney Cooks (Jr./will sit 18-19) - #5 - Jessika Carter (So.) - #46 - Xaria Wiggins (So.) - #54 - Myah Taylor (RS So.) - #50 - Aliyah Matharu (Fr.) - #28 - Jayla Hemingway (Fr.) - #89 - Rickea Jackson (Fr.) - #5 - JaMya Mingo-Young (Fr.) - #97 They will have no seniors this season, but will use their senior PG from last season. They always field a tough, competitive team, so it will be great to watch Jazz compete against them (if the matchup happens). Always quick, scrappy team. Will definitely get a feel for what Jazz can do vs. a top team.

0-9 from the 3, 1-12 on jumpers, and 26-41 from layups. I can see wanting to go inside with Magbegor on your team, but this seems excessive. On the other hand if you can't hit anything from outside. Where did you find the time played info beaverwbb? Can't find that posted anywhere.

Australia will play Portugal in the semifinal. They beat Taipei today, but Jazz didn't get minutes.
