We can be really good with Bennie (Boatwright), and J Mac (Jordan McLaughlin) back. Nobody is shooting really well yet, but our defense has been our strong part, but our offense will come.The Trojans improved to 4-0 while the Privateers (1-3) lost their third straight and committed 19 turnovers. USC had 15 steals.Shaqquan Aaron scored 12 points, Jordan McLaughlin added 11 (and 9 assists) and DeAnthony Melton poured in 10 points and had 5 steals for the Trojans, whose final score Tuesday marked a season high.Erik Thomas led New Orleans with 20 points and Tevin Broyles 11.The Trojans edged New Orleans on the boards, 40-38, and have outrebounded all four of their opponents this season.New Orleans, averaging 81 points per game, was held to its lowest output of the season.After keeping it close for the first six minutes, the Trojans offense erupted with a 15-0 run to build a double-digit lead.We havent been scoring 3s too well, so it was nice to see some of the guys who were struggling making a few of them tonight, Trojans coach Andy Enfield said.Were very young and we still have to find our rotation. Were excited about the team and Im comfortable with our freshmen and playing them late in games. Weve been playing outstanding defense and rebounding well, thats why were 4-0.Matthews back-to-back baskets and Nick Rakocevic free throw capped the USC surge and gave the Trojans a 27-11 lead at the 9:05 mark of the first half.It feels great to get my rhythm and I felt like I got out of my slump, said Matthews, who scored a career-high. I feel like part of the team.USC held New Orleans scoreless for just over six minutes midway through the opening half. Thomas basket broke the Privateers scoring drought with 8:31 left in the half.The Trojans maintained the pressure on New Orleans for the remainder of the period and extended its lead to 42-25 at the break.Aaron made three 3-pointers in the first half and led the Trojans with 9 points.The Trojans shot 55.2 percent in the first half, including 7 of 14 from long range, and held New Orleans to 35.3 percent from the floor.The Privateers never got closer than 15 points in the second half while USC led by as many as 35.BIG PICTURENew Orleans: Despite dropping its last three games, the Privateers look to be vastly improved this season from last years 10-20 record.

In November 1986, New Orleans defeated the Trojans 85-67 in New Orleans.FRESHMAN STANDOUT: Entering Tuesdays game, freshman guard DeAnthony Melton has provided USC with a strong presence off the bench. He is averaging nearly 10 points per game and is third on the team in rebounds, second in assists and leads the team and the Pac-12 with an average of 2.7 steals per game. He swiped another 5 steals on Tuesday.

Its a confidence booster.My main focus after I got to the club after getting the respect of the players was to work into that midfield.Eade has dropped three - Joshua Schoenfeld, Mitch Hallahan and Jesse Joyce - and added Alex Sexton, Sean Lemmens and debutant Brayden Fiorini to their 22.Collingwood has made a sole change, recalling Ben Crocker in place of Taylor Adams (ankle), who wont play again this season.At Etihad on Saturday, both sides have the chance to break unwanted streaks at the venue.Neither has won there in two years and the Suns will be hoping their three-pronged attack of Tom Lynch, Sam Day and two-metre Peter Wright can bear fruit.I live with Pete and hes doing fantastic and between him, Daysie and Lynchy, theyre working really well, he said.Theyre starting to form a synergy. The more years and games they play together theyll only get better and better. Were going to be dangerous. ' ' '
