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.

Aditi Ashok has jumped 66 spots to rise to a career-best 132nd in the latest world rankings for womens golf, released on Monday. It continues her phenomenal rise since the start of the year, when she was ranked 468, and increases her chances of being named the Ladies European Tours Rookie of the Year going into the Final Stage LPGA qualifying event later this week.Aditi, who registered back-to-back titles on the Ladies European Tour with wins in the Indian Open as well as the Qatar Open on Sunday, only turned pro in January 2016. Its been a terrific year for her, says Nonita Lall Qureishi, the six-time winner of the All-India Open. Thanks to Aditi, the Indian womens tour has really come of age.?Qureishi told ESPN how she helped Aditi make a crucial decision when the rookie was at a crossroads in 2015.Last year, we were chatting at the (British) Open, and she had just received an offer from Stanford University to join them on a golf scholarship. Around the same time, she had also qualified through the Ladies European Tour school. I think that was the only time she was a little confused about what would be better for her, Qureishi, an Arjuna Awardee, said.?So I told her that it just didnt make any sense to refuse an opportunity to play professional golf when it was right there. She decided to go professional, and if she has a good week in the qualifying school in Florida, we might see her on the LPGA Tour soon, she added.It seems the conversation paid off.A measure of how good her year has been is that the next-best Indian golfer in the world rankings is Vani Kapoor, at 702nd. Going into her maiden year as a pro, Aditi had already set a unique record as the only Indian to have competted at the Asian Youth Games, the youth Olympics as well as the Asian Games, all between 2013 and 2014.dddddddddddd.She added to this with an appearance at the 2016 Olympics, where she was tied-8th after registering successive scores 3-under 68 in the first two rounds, but finished tied-41st in a field where she was one of the youngest.Aditi has won two of the events on the Ladies European Tour, and finished in the top-ten in three other events. She also competed in the womens British Open in 2016.Speaking to ESPN after her win in the Indian open, Aditi had credited her participation in the Rio Olympics for her increased confidence and subsequent results.The Olympics definitely added to my confidence as I played with the best players in the world and I was in the top three after two rounds. My performance has been consistent and getting better with every event I play, Aditi had said. I have had four consecutive top tens on the LET so far and all this adds to my confidence, especially with a win last week (in the Indian Open).Qureishi, while calling Aditis achievement phenomenal, also compared the 18-year-olds achievement to that of one of the greatest golfers ever, Tiger Woods.I personally dont think age is a factor in golf. If you look at someone like Tiger Woods, he too turned pro at about the same age. The age becomes irrelevant if the time frame of playing golf is correct. Aditi has been playing since she was a really young kid. Shes had plenty of experience, and shes always been very clear about what she has wanted from professional golf, she said. ' ' '
