LOS ANGELES -- There was plenty for Southern California coach Andy Enfield to smile about after his team put away UC Santa Barbara 96-72 on Sunday night.His biggest smile came when he mentioned the Trojans 25 assists on 33 baskets, a number that even made him overlook his team shooting 35 3-pointers.We shot 40 percent, made 14, but we had 25 assists so I cant get too upset with our players, Enfield said. Weve got some good shooters on this team. But 25 assists, thats a lot. So we did a good job of finding the open man, making the extra pass.The Trojans (6-0) are off to their best start since 2000-01 when they opened with an 8-0 mark.A 6-0 start is great, said Enfield.

Jordan McLaughlin finished with 13 points.Hes much more comfortable, McLaughlin said of Boatwright, who missed the Trojans first two games with upper back spasms. Hes coming off an injury and got out of rhythm. He got the first couple of games out of his system, and now hes back to shooting the ball. Hell be fine.In control throughout, USC remained content to attack the Gauchos from the outside, taking 35 of their 61 shots from beyond the arc, making 14.Theyve got really good shooters, and they shoot the ball extremely well Gaucho coach Bob Williams said. They shot the ball really well when they got up.Jalen Canty had 16 points and 10 rebounds to lead UC Santa Barbara (0-5). Gabe Vincent scored 15 points and Alex Hart added 14 for the Gauchos, which outscored the Trojans 46-30 in the paint.The Gauchos scored the first basket of the game only to see the Trojans lead from the 18:50 mark of the first half. The Gauchos were still within 66-59 with 8:16 remaining before USC pulled away.The last five, six minutes the roof came off for them, and we didnt play very well, said Williams. We fell apart the last five, six, seven minutes.BIG PICTUREThe Gauchos are 0-5, but opened last season with a 2-7 mark before rebounding to finish 19-14 overall, 11-5 in the Big West Conference.USC has won 15 consecutive non-conference games at the Galen Center, beating UCSB in 13 out of the last 14 meetings.

LONG POND, Pa. -- Jeff Gordon wouldnt speculate on whether he would continue driving the Hendrick Motorsports No. 88 car after this week at Pocono Raceway, but he said he feels good enough to continue racing if needed.Gordon views his role as a substitute driver as a temporary one, but just how temporary is still to be determined. Dale Earnhardt Jr. is missing his third consecutive race battling balance and nausea likely form concussions, and the four-time Cup champion is in his second week coming out of retirement as a substitute.I will be here as long as they need me, Gordon said Friday after practice at Pocono Raceway. I say that very loosely. ... Will it be more? I dont know, but Im just thankful that the team believes in me and that gives me confidence in myself.Turning 45 next week, Gordon battled back issues throughout the latter stages of his career, which had appeared to end after the 2015 season with 93 wins in 797 starts. He said he certainly felt it Monday and Tuesday after a 13th-place finish at Indianapolis.I fought threw it the last few years, said Gordon, an equity owner in Hendrick who feels the time in the car can help him in his new advisory role. I can fight through it longer if I have to. I prefer not to. I am looking at this as a very temporary thing. ... I wish Dale a speedy recovery. Id like him to be back in the car.But at the same time if hes not, I feel like each time Im in the car Ill be more confident and comfortable to get better results.Gordon would make his 800th start next week -- if he races -- at Watkins Glen. The series then has a week off before races Bristol, Michigan, Darlington and Richmond close out the regular season before the 10-week Chase, and Gordon refused to speculate on whether the schedule will impact the decision on Earnhardts return.Thats a question for Dale and a podcast, Gordon said.On The Dale Jr. Download podcast on his internet radio network, Earnhardt said Monday that he would see doctors soon and have another update this Monday.ddddddddddddThere are certain things that you can race through, but one of the things that you cannot race through is concussion-like symptoms, Earnhardt said. The balance deal is a critical part of being able to drive a race car. This process is going to take a little bit longer. ... Im not going to go against that [doctors] advice no matter what. I cant play around at this age. And with my history, I definitely dont need to get cute.Earnhardts team is still eligible for the owners title through points (and any future wins) earned by substitute drivers. Gordon said that could play a role on who gets behind the wheel if Earnhardt cant return. He said there is no pressure from HMS on Earnhardt to return before he feels comfortable returning.I wouldnt be here in Pocono if I wasnt committed to being there for Hendrick and this team in any way that would need me, Gordon said. There is a balance in trying to make this transition. ... Theres the side of who is the best person to be in the car to get the most points and then there is the sponsorship side of it as well.So far, from what Rick [Hendrick] is telling me, that seems to be me.Gordon has talked with Earnhardt, who has done his best to stay as engaged as possible.He likes to FaceTime, Gordon said. It seems like he is always on the treadmill every time I see him or talk to him. But hes just real interested in what were up to and hows it going and things were working on.Earnhardt, on the podcast Monday, said he misses the interaction with his team.I miss the people more than the driving, to be honest with you, Earnhardt said. The friendships and the relationships that you have at the race track are more valuable, to me, than anything. ' ' '
