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. Were thrilled. I think were all thrilled because weve played some good teams.Bennie Boatwright scored 21 points, Elijah Stewart had 18 points, and Chimezie Metu and Shaqquan Aaron added 15 apiece for the Trojans. 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. The Gauchos have not beaten the Trojans since 2002.UP NEXTUC Santa Barbara: The Gauchos play their first home game of the season against Sonoma State on Thursday night.USC: The Trojans play on the road for the first time this season Wednesday night at San Diego.

Newcastle coach Nathan Brown is optimistic the back-to-back NRL wooden spooners can bolster their squad with several more players before the 2017 campaign kicks off.The Knights are favourites to finish last for the third successive season after adding only Jamie Buhrer (Manly), Rory Kostjasyn (North Queensland) and Ken Sio (Hull KR) to the roster who managed just one win in 2016.The Knights insist they have a cash stockpile waiting to be spent on the right players, and further funds could become available if they are successful in finding new clubs for Jack Stockwell and Jake Mamo.I think in the NRL, nearly anything is possible these days, Brown said.We saw Michael Jennings move (from the Sydney Roosters to Parramatta) in early December last year. If you believe what you hear, theres a number of clubs under salary-cap pressure and different clubs are trying to move different players for different reasons ... you just dont know who becomes available this year.But I do know if youve got money, youre always a chance. If you dont have money, youre no chance.Since Browns arrival in Newcastle 12 months ago, numerous players have parted company with the club, including Chris Houston (Widnes), Adam Clydsdale and Joe Tapine (Canberra), Tariq Sims (St George Illawarra), Robbie Rochow (South Sydney), Akuiila Uate (Manly) and Jeremy Smith (retired).ddddddddddddAs well as their three recruits for 2017, they picked up fringe first-graders Pauli Pauli (Parramatta), Brendan Elliot (Roosters) and Mitch Barnett (Canberra) last season.Brown predicted there would still be a fair bit of movement in the market in coming weeks, as clubs juggled their rosters and players eyed greener pastures.Weve still got a decent amount of money, Brown said. It just depends what comes up. Weve just added Ken Sio, who helps our outside backs.Wed definitely like to bring another outside back in. We like to bring in a middle-type player and an edge-type player.Id say wed like to bring in another three players, if that was possible. Whether thats possible, well have to wait and see.The Knights kicked off pre-season training on Tuesday with fitness testing and Brown said they were in a little bit of a better position than we were this time last year.The younger guys are more aware of what first grade is about, having played a fair number of games last year and having their first pre-season, he said.Theres definitely a lot of those guys in a position to have a better pre-season and improve on that.
