Throughout the seven day trip overseas in Europe the Jayhawks managed to see some beautiful sights while also picking up some international competition experience. It was the first time Kansas came together since the losing the NCAA Championship game in April to the Kentucky Wildcats. Before leaving on the trip the Jayhawks were allowed 10 practices, a luxury only extended on the international trip every four years for the program. While in Switzerland and France, Kansas took on the Swiss national team and AMW France, a professional team. After sweeping the Swiss in two games, the Jayhawks dropped two games to AMW France. Take a look at these photos to see some of the action.
