We can be really good with Bennie (Boatwright), and J Mac (Jordan McLaughlin) back.

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.

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.

BUFFALO, N.Y. -- Sabres general manager Tim Murray is fine with defenseman Rasmus Ristolainens decision to practice with the team even though hes not under contract.That doesnt mean Murray believes the Sabres top defensemans presence in Buffalo will have any effect on negotiations.No, Murray told The Associated Press while breaking into a laugh on Friday. Unless you ask him that when he got here that he got all lovey-dovey and wants to play for what we want to pay him.Though Murray said the two sides are still negotiating, he wouldnt say whether progress is being made with the restricted free agent two weeks before the Sabres open the regular season.Ristolainen is a restricted free agent whose rights were retained by the Sabres in June. After representing Finland in the World Cup of Hockey, Ristolainen reported to Buffalo on Thursday in what was regarded as a sign of good faith.Though hes not allowed to play because hes not under contract, Ristolainen is practicing with the team and also taking part in meetings.Ristolainen is not making himself available to reporters, and messages left with his agent, Mike Liut, were not returned. Gonzalo Castro Dortmund Jersey. Murray said he was somewhat surprised by Ristolainens request to practice with the team. Thats a switch from other restricted free agents such as Winnipeg defenseman Jacob Trouba, who has requested to be traded.Murray didnt see anything wrong with allowing Ristolainen to practice, saying hed rather the player be in Buffalo than working out elsewhere.Ristolainen was selected by Buffalo in the first round of the 2013 draft and has played three seasons with the Sabres. Last year, Ristolainen led the team in averaging more than 25 minutes of ice time per game, and led Buffalo defensemen with 41 points (nine goals, 32 assists).In saying he has no control over contract talks, coach Dan Bylsma took a diplomatic approach addressing Ristolainens situation.I think it shows a lot from both the player that he wants to be here practicing with his team, and it shows a lot from us, a lot from Tim, that we want him here as well, Bylsma said. The contract will take care of itself.
