DALLAS - Missouri senior Evan Unrau (Fort Collins, Colo. / Rocky Mountain HS) is one of 12 players that has been selected to represent the United States at this summer's World University Games, officials from the Big 12 Conference announced over the weekend.
The Big 12 All-Star Team will represent the United States at the 22nd World University Games women's basketball competition in Daegu, South Korea, Aug. 20-31, 2003.
Unrau joins 11 hoopsters from eight other Big 12 schools. Three schools elected not to send a representative due to conflicts with other USA Basketball competitions, foreign tours and class schedules. Iowa State head coach Bill Fennelly will serve as head coach of the squad. He will be assisted by Mizzou mentor Cindy Stein and Latoya Harris, assistant coach at Iowa State.
The All-Star squad features eight members, including Unrau, of the 2003 All-Big 12 Women's Basketball Team.
Unrau, a 6-1 forward, led the Tigers in both scoring and rebounding last season with 16.0 ppg and 7.7 rpg while starting all 31 games. She was an All-Big 12 first team selection in 2003 and helped lead MU to the WNIT quarterfinals.
The World University Games Team will begin training camp in Colorado Springs, Colo., on Aug. 11.
