NORMAN, Okla. (AP) - The University of Oklahoma women's basketball team will play three exhibition games this summer in Spain.

OU announced Wednesday that the team will leave Aug. 10 for a nine-day trip.

OU will play Olimpico 64 in Madrid on Aug. 12, Combinado Valenciano in Valencia on Aug. 15 and the Barcelona Region All-Stars in Barcelona on Aug. 17.

The team will also sightsee with stops at the office palace of the King of Spain in Madrid, Barcelona's Olympic Stadium and the Gothic Quarter in Valencia.
