PAC-12 ANNOUNCES 2016 ALL-STAR BASKETBALL TOUR of AUSTRALIA TLA Worldwide and TEG Live to Promote Tour in Australia For Immediate Release: Tuesday, May 31, 2016 Contact: Jesse Hooker, [email protected] PAC-12 ANNOUNCES 2016 ALL-STAR BASKETBALL TOUR OF AUSTRALIA TLA Worldwide and TEG Live to Promote Tour in Australia SAN FRANCISCO – As part of the Pac-12 Global initiative, the Pac-12 Conference will send an All-Star Men's Basketball Team to Melbourne, Australia for a series of cultural experiences and exhibition games against the Australia Men's National Team in July 2016. The Pac-12 All-Star Men’s Basketball Team, comprised of 12 student-athletes from 10 member schools, will participate in two games against the Australia Men's National Team - known as the Australian Boomers - in its preparation for the Rio 2016 Olympic Games, as well as a third contest versus a team from the semi-professional South East Australian Basketball League (SEABL). “This tour of Australia marks an important step forward in the Pac-12’s mission to use the power of sport to advance our schools’ reach around the world, and to give our student-athletes opportunities to learn about a new culture while playing a sport they love,” said Pac-12 Commissioner Larry Scott. Pac-12 Global was founded in 2011 and has already sent one All-Star Men’s Basketball Team abroad as a Pac-12 All-Star team traveled to China in August 2014 in advance of the frst-ever regular season contest by any U.S. sports league in the nation when WASHINGTON faced Texas in Shanghai in November 2015. The second Pac-12 China Game will feature STANFORD and Harvard in Shanghai on November 12, 2016, with television coverage in the U.S. on Nov. 11. The Pac-12 All-Star Men’s Basketball Team’s tour, promoted by TLA Worldwide and TEG Live, will be the frst of two events involving Pac-12 member institutions in Australia this year as CALIFORNIA will open the 2016 college football season on August 27 in Sydney against Hawai’i. This historic game is also being delivered and operated by TLA Worldwide and TEG Live. Four-time Conference Coach of the Year and 2016 College Basketball Hall of Fame inductee Mike Montgomery will serve as head coach of the Pac-12 All-Star Men’s Basketball Team, headlined by 2016 honorable mention All-Pac-12 performers Josh Hawkinson (WASHINGTON STATE) and Jordan McLaughlin (USC), and 2016 honorable mention Pac-12 All-Defensive Team selection Wesley Gordon (COLORADO). Montgomery, who ranks 21st in NCAA Division I history with 676 career victories in 32 seasons as head coach at CALIFORNIA, STANFORD and Montana, will be joined on the coaching staff by Trent Johnson, a Coach of the Year in three different conferences, and former STANFORD All- American guards Brevin Knight and Casey Jacobsen. The staff will lead a three-day training camp in Los Angeles from July 5-7 before the group embarks on the tour from July 9-14. The six-day tour will also provide student-athletes the opportunity to experience Australian culture, visit historic landmarks, and engage in off-the-court activities in the country's second- most populous city. “We are pleased to work with the Pac-12 and their extraordinary global vision to bring more world class events to Australia, one of the world’s greatest and most passionate markets for sport,” said Mike Principe, CEO of TLA. “Together with TEG Live, we look forward to providing an unforgettable experience for the student-athletes and stiff competition for the Australian Boomers as they prepare for a strong run in 2016 Summer Olympics.” Justin Papps, Managing Director of TEG Live said, “We are extremely proud to be involved in the Australian Boomers Farewell Series, showcasing some of the best local and international basketball talent on home soil. Together with our partners at TLA, we are confdent that Australian sports fans will get behind the Boomers and give these world-class athletes a ftting send off to Rio.” Game dates are slated for Sunday, July 10 (vs. SEABL team), Tuesday, July 12 (vs. Australia MNT), and Thursday, July 14 (vs. Australia MNT). All three games will be held at Hisense Arena, a 10,500-seat venue that serves as the home of Melbourne United, the city's franchise in the professional National Basketball League (NBL). The group will then return to the U.S. on July 15. Among the 17 fnalists for the Australia Men's National Team Olympic roster are three former Pac-12 standouts in Aron Baynes (WASHINGTON STATE), Andrew Bogut (UTAH) and Brock Motum (WASHINGTON STATE). Along with Baynes and Bogut, the Boomers' potential Olympic Games roster includes current NBA players Cameron Bairstow, Matthew Dellavedova, Dante Exum, Joe Ingles and Patrick Mills. The Boomers’ list of 17 fnalists will be reduced to 12 ahead of the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, from August 6-21. The Boomers qualifed for the 2016 Games as 2015 FIBA Oceania Champions and will be joined in Group A by China, United States, Venezuela and two teams from FIBA Olympic Qualifying Tournaments in Italy, the Philippines, and Serbia in July. 2016 PAC-12 ALL-STAR MEN'S BASKETBALL ROSTER NAME SCHOOL POS.
