PORTLAND, Ore. – Alaska Anchorage women's basketball head coach Matt Thune will lead a group of Great Northwest Athletic Conference all-stars on a trip to Portugal next spring for the league's inaugural Eurobasket tour.

Scheduled for May 12-21, 2027, the tour will feature four exhibition games against various Portuguese professional squads, along with well-planned excursions to the country's extensive cultural and historical sites.

"This is an incredible opportunity to promote our league on the international stage and give GNAC student-athletes the chance to compete against high-quality professionals as they strive to continue their post-collegiate careers overseas," said Thune, who led UAA to a 16-11 record in his first season. "We're appreciative that Eurobasket has made this trip possible and hope to represent NCAA Division II women's basketball at its finest."
