Devoted fans of the University of Utah and Pac-12 basketball can watch Ute guard Lorenzo Bonam and a conference all-star team play against Australia's national team at 3:30 a.m. MDT Tuesday on the Pac-12 Networks. Judging by the way Bonam and his teammates played Sunday, it should be worth the effort (and the telecast will be replayed at 7 p.m. Tuesday, if that's more convenient). Bonam scored 16 points in a 107-51 win over the Melbourne Tigers pro team. California's Stephen Domingo led the Pac-12 All-Stars with 19 points, making 6 of 9 shots from 3-point range, and Arizona's Chance Comanche added 14 points. The Pac-12 team, coached by Mike Montgomery, will play two games in Melbourne against the Australian national team that features Jazz guard Joe Ingles. The Aussies are preparing for the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. – Kurt Kragthorpe
