LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- Louisville coach Rick Pitinos concerns about the early season schedule causing his 12th-ranked Cardinals problems might be merited at some point.Right now, the Cardinals are handling non-conference opponents with surprising ease.Jaylen Johnson had 14 points and 11 rebounds, Deng Adel added 11 points and Louisville jumped on Long Beach State quickly for an 88-56 blowout Thursday.The Cardinals (3-0) outscored the 49ers 23-2 over a 5:28 span in the first half for a 30-8 lead en route to their third straight 30-point win to open the season. Louisvilles height advantage made the difference on both ends as it controlled scoring in the paint 42-20 and rebounding 51-37.Louisvilles fast, effective start toward that end impressed Pitino enough to compare his teams effort to the 2013 NCAA championship squad, which is saying something this early in the season.That was really, really special to see, said Pitino, whose team made 11 of their first 14 shots before finishing at 45 percent (34 of 76) from the field. That was a clinic at the offensive end and a clinic at the defensive end.Johnson helped get the Cardinals going with 10 points and seven rebounds in the first half en route to his second double-double in three games.I just make sure Im more efficient, said Johnson, who made 7 of 11 from the field in 18 minutes.The 49ers (1-3) made just 18 of 61 from the field (30 percent) and couldnt slow the Cardinals in any phase while losing to their second ranked Atlantic Coast Conference foe in three days. Fifth-ranked North Carolina used a quick start to beat Long Beach State 93-67 on Tuesday night.It was similar because we just werent able to withstand that first blow to stay in the game, 49ers coach Dan Monson said. Once we got comfortable, its too late. Games over. You come on these road trips to try to put your kids in adversity to get them better and I dont feel like we handled it any better than we did Tuesday.Mangok Mathiang added 11 points and Ray Spalding had 10 for Louisville. The Cardinals blocked nine shots in winning the first of four games in the Battle 4 Atlantis that continues next week in the Bahamas.Evan Payne had 15 points and Gabe Levin added 12 for Long Beach State, which fell to 0-3 against the Cardinals.THE BIG PICTURELong Beach State: Just when the 49ers seemed capable of playing Louisville close at 7-6, they missed their next 10 shots and 14 of 16 overall in a drought that dug an insurmountable hole. That comes two nights after they trailed North Carolina 14-0. ... Long Beach State committed 19 turnovers leading to 25 Louisville points.Louisville: Good thing the Cardinals dominated the paint, because their perimeter shooting is still a work in progress. Adel and Donovan Mitchell (eight points) combined to make their first three attempts from behind the arc, but the team didnt make another until David Levitch and Ryan McMahon made both their attempts in the second half. Louisville still finished 7 of 20 from long range after entering the game 13 of 43 through two games. ... McMahon and Quentin Snider each had five assists for the Cardinals, who finished with at least 20 in consecutive games for the first time since 2010-11.POLL IMPLICATIONSBarring any movement by teams ahead of Louisville before Monday, next weeks Battle 4 Atlantis matchups could determine the Cardinals ranking for the following week.TIME MANAGEMENTTipoff was 4 p.m. to allow Louisville fans time to watch this game and the third-ranked football teams nationally televised contest at Houston with an 8 p.m. kickoff.

Young formally announced his retirement Friday after returning to Rangers Ballpark, his baseball home for all but the last of his 13 major league seasons.Hes viewed as the long-term face of the franchise, but Penrith captain Matt Moylan says hes in no rush to re-sign with the club before his contract expires at the end of next season.The Panthers star had been in talks with club officials on a contract extension earlier this year that wouldve seen Moylan become the first NRL player signed through to the 2021 season.But while the Penrith No.1 is intent on remaining a Panther, negotiations have since stalled.Obviously I want to stay but nothings happened of yet. Im not in a rush, Moylan told AAP.Being captain here, its somewhere I want to stick around. But I havent really thought about it to be honest. Im just playing footy and Im still signed for next year.Asked if there had been any developments on previous talks, he said: No, nothing.But after not making his NRL debut until he was 22, Moylan is also believed to be interested in testing his market value, which has skyrocketed after breaking into the NSW State of Origin team this year.He joins a star-studded list of fullbacks that come off contract at the end of the 2017 season, including Ben Barba, Darius Boyd, Josh Dugan, James Tedesco and Tom Trbojevic.Cronulla talent Valentine Holmes will also be highly sought after for clubs, who are expected to see the salary cap raised to over $7 million for the first time in league history by the 2018 season.ddddddddddddThe Panthers have been one of the leagues biggest spenders this winter, splashing the cash for North Queensland premiership-winner and incumbent Kangaroo James Tamou on a four-year deal.The club have also tied down first-grade regulars Nathan Cleary, James Fisher-Harris, Leilani Latu, Josh Mansour, Trent Merrin, Peter Wallace and Isaah Yeo for at least another two years.Tamou, Latu, and Merrin are three of just five players in the league, along with Canterbury pair David Klemmer and Moses Mbye, that own deals until the end of the 2020 season.Merrin, who re-signed with the club a further two years despite being less than one year into his current contract, urged Moylan to base his decision on his happiness instead of money.If the moneys great and youre not happy, then theres no point doing it, Merrin said.If youre going to sign a long-term contract, its got to be based on your happiness and the challenges that are going to make you a better person and player.Moyzas a great leader here and we all look up to him as a player and a person. Hes definitely a Penrith boy from the start. Wed love to see him stay at the club for sure. ' ' '
