Congrats, Mr. Maric! First Husker basketball player to make an Olympic team.

Former Husker Aleks Maric earned the most prestigious honor of his career, as he was recently selected to represent Australia in the 2012 London Olympics beginning next month.
Maric, a two-time All-Big 12 performer who played at Nebraska from 2005 to 2008, has played professionally in Greece for Panathinaikos the past two seasons, winning the Euroleague title in 2010-11 and finishing fourth this past season. He will be the first Husker basketball player to appear in the Olympics Games.

Australia is in Group B with Brazil, China, Great Britain and Spain while one other qualifier will be determined in a qualifying tournament in Venezuela this July. Australia will open Olympic action against Brazil on Sunday, July 29. The top four teams from each pool will advance to the quarterfinals beginning on Aug. 8.
