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.

KENNETT SQUARE, Pa. -- Veterinarians hope an innovative type of CT scan can advance medical care for horses and possibly be adapted for humans, eliminating the need for people to lie still inside a tube.Robotic CT at the University of Pennsylvanias veterinary school allows a horse to remain awake and standing as scanners on two mechanical arms move around it. The resulting high-quality images, including some in 3D, for the first time offer detailed anatomical views of the animal in its normal, upright state.Thats a huge difference from the standard CT for a horse, which requires administering anesthesia, placing the animal on its side and maneuvering a scanning unit around the affected area. Not all body parts fit in the machines.Robotic CT is much less stressful, said Dr. Barbara Dallap Schaer, medical director of Penn Vets New Bolton Center. Its a pretty athletic event for horses to recover from general anesthesia.The New York-based company 4DDI created the Equimagine system with components from robot manufacturer ABB. First unveiled at Penn last spring, 4DDI now has orders for more than a dozen units at equine facilities around the world, according to CEO Yiorgos Papaioannou.The word is spreading, Papaioannou said.At Penn, the large white robotic arms are installed at a barn at New Bolton Center, the vet schools hospital for large animals in the Philadelphia exurb of Kennett Square. Horses are given a mild sedative and walked into the facility for a scan that lasts less than a minute.CT, or computed tomography, gives pictures of soft tissues that X-rays cant. While traditional CT requires the subject to be still, this new system compensates for slight movement. Eventually, vets hope theyll be able to capture CT images of a horse running on a treadmill.The ease of imaging means more horses can get preventive scans, said Dr. Dean Richardson, chief of surgery at New Bolton. As it stands, he said, many owners are reluctant to have their horses anesthetized for a diagnostic procedure because recovery can be treacherous. As the animals emerge from unconsciousness and woozily struggle to find ttheir footing, they risk catastrophic injury if they stumble.ddddddddddddSo the whole beauty of this technology, we hope, is that were going to be able to scan much greater numbers of patients much, much earlier in the process of things like stress-related injuries in a racehorse, Richardson said.For humans, the technology could be helpful when dealing with squirming children or claustrophobic adults. Doctors could also get clearer views of, say, spinal problems in a standing patient instead of relying on CT performed while the person is lying down. Penns translational research team has partnered with other hospitals to look at the possibilities.This is an interesting concept -- the ability to image in your natural state, said Dr. Raul Uppot, an assistant professor of radiology at Harvard Medical School who is not involved in the research. It does offer something that doesnt currently exist in the market (for humans).Equimagines base cost is $545,000, according to Papaioannou, though he said some new customers are getting the equipment in exchange for a per-scan fee. The company plans to make another version of the system for smaller animals, he said.Penns system was made possible through a donor, said Dallap Schaer, noting the cost was comparable to standard CT scanners. Overall cost for the images will be less than CT scans that require anesthesia, she said.Dennis Charles, of Allentown, brought his horse Bert to Penn Vet for an MRI earlier this year, before robotic CT was available. The procedure required anesthesia, and Charles said he was incredibly nervous watching a wobbly Bert regain consciousness afterward.Last month, the horse again needed imaging but was able to have robotic CT. Charles, who described the robotic system as looking like something out of Star Wars, said the scans assured him Berts leg injury had healed.They get really precise images, he said. I think its a tremendous piece of equipment.---Follow Kathy Matheson at www.twitter.com/kmatheson ' ' '
