A former Nebraska basketball player made a game-winning shot in game three of Australia’s National Basketball League Championship Series. Jack McVeigh hit a three-pointer to give the Tasmania JackJumpers a 93-91 victory over Melbourne United.
McVeigh finished with 18 points and 12 rebounds on the night. Tasmania now leads the best-of-five series two games to one.
The Australian played three seasons for the Cornhuskers (2015-2018). He would appear in 78 games at Nebraska, averaging 5.3 points and 2.3 rebounds per game.
McVeigh would depart Nebraska after his junior season due to a reduction in playing time and sign with the Adelaide 36ers of Australia’s National Basketball League.
He was named a member of the All-NBL Second Team in 2024. Game four of the series will take place on Thursday, March 28.
