Pac-12 All-Stars coach Mike Montgomery says his side had no answer for the sheer presence and power of Australian centre Aron Baynes during Tuesday nights contest.Baynes, who started on the floor due to Andrew Boguts lingering knee injury, scored a game-high 28 points from just 24 minutes in the Boomers nine-point win at Melbournes Hisense Arena.Montgomery said his side was unable to contain the 115kg beast from the Detroit Pistons, who proved a menace for his young and inexperienced defence.Baynes was a load inside and obviously we didnt have an answer for him, Montgomery said.Weve got a lot of kids that are sophomores in college and its tough when youre only 19 or 20 years old. All of the things [the Boomers] know, they havent learned yet.Montgomery, a four-time Conference Coach of the Year and 2016 College Basketball Hall of Fame inductee, also singled out the on-court chemistry between Baynes and guard Patty Mills as another area that allowed Australia to gain the ascendency.Mills hit 15 points including three from downtown to go with four assists.Mills as well, to see how quick he gets his shot off [is impressive]. Theres obviously not a lot of guys that they play against that are that kind of player, he said.They would run a cross screen with a little on a big, and the little that set the screen was Patty Mills -- and you dont want to leave him, but then that leaves Baynes wide-open inside.The Pac-12 All-Stars squad comprises 12 student athletes from 10 member schools aged between 19 and 21. The squads tour to Australia is the second time they have ventured outside the United States, following a trip to China in August 2014.As the Boomers prepare for next months Rio Olympics, Montgomery admits the physical basketball, now synonymous with Australia, was always going to prove an issue.I knew the physical play would be difficult for us. I dont think our guys really understood international basketball. The fact that these guys are older, more mature and know how to play the game - I knew there was going to be some rough patches, Montgomery said.By and large I was pleased [with the first half], but I thought that the second half they got more physical, played harder and I though we backed off a little bit and that was difficult for us.The Pac-12 All-Stars take to Hisense Arena again on Thursday for game two of Australias farewell series in Melbourne.Montgomery was coy in giving away the exact facets of the game he believe needed to be worked on, but he said he expected to see a more competitive performance.It was a great experience for our guys and hopefully we can come out on Thursday, make some corrections and play a little bit better, he said.Melbourne is a great city, Australia is a great country, but we came over here for the opportunity to play against an Olympic calibre team and a team that has done well, thats why we put this group together.
