It will help us mature.Southern California (10-0) has its best start since going 16-0 to open the 1971 season. It remains one of two undefeated Pac-12 schools, along with UCLA, which beat Ohio State on Saturday to improve to 12-0.With the shot clock winding down in the final minute, McLaughlin drove into the lane, created separation and put a soft shot over two defenders to give USC the lead for good.Down the stretch, I feel like nine times out of 10 Ill make the right play, McLaughlin said. Coach has always had confidence in me. Thats why I came here.USC coach Andy Enfield said McLaughlins go-ahead basket was a perfect example of the maturity hes developed over the past two-plus seasons.Jordan is playing at such a high level for us, Enfield said. This year, hes taken it to another level. The last three, four weeks, hes playing as good as any point guard in the nation. Thats why were 10-0. It all starts with him.Chimezie Metu added 18 points and eight rebounds, Elijah Stewart had 11 points and Nick Rakocevic 10.We came out slow, Metu said. But we picked up our defensive intensity down the stretch and got some stops.Wesley Person had 19 points to lead Troy (6-5). Jordan Vonardo added 17 points and eight rebounds, and Kevin Baker had 15 points. It has won three straightAfter a pair of USC blocks and a Troy turnover, McLaughlin added two free throws with 13 seconds left. DeAnthony Felton added a free throw with 3 seconds left for the final margin.For us to be 10-0 with our lack of experience, to be without Bennie Boatwright, Im so proud of our players, Enfield said. Weve got a long way to go. Weve still got a lot of things to improve. Its a long season and there will be games like this.Trailing most of the way and by as many as 10 points, Southern California took a 70-68 lead on Stewarts 3-pointer with 4:58 to play.Metu hit a jumper in the lane and then made one of two free throws to pull USC even at 77 after Jeremy Hollimons three-pointer with 1:16 left had given Troy a 77-74 lead.Up 40-38 at half, Troy reeled off a 10-2 spurt, opening its biggest lead 50-40 on a free throw by DeVon Walker with 16:45 to play.
