OMAHA, Neb. -- If Justin Pattons growth continues like it has been, hes going to be a big problem for the Big East once conference play begins.The 7-foot, 230-pound redshirt freshman made all eight of his shots and scored 14 of his 17 points in the second half, leading No. 12 Creighton in an 82-52 victory over Loyola (Md.) on Saturday.I dont know that you ever expect a freshman to have the impact that hes having, Bluejays coach Greg McDermott said. Its hard for freshmen in college basketball. He jokes about the redshirt year, and it ended up being a great thing for him.Patton grew an inch and gained 25 pounds while sitting out last season. Hes scored 10 or more points in each of Creightons six games, showing off a nifty spin move, jump hook shot and monster dunk.He certainly is not there yet 100 percent, McDermott said. Hes made tremendous strides, and his growth is really happening day by day right in front of our eyes. The guys trust him, especially offensively when he dives at the rim. You throw it up there and he goes to get it.The Bluejays (6-0) couldnt shake the Greyhounds (2-4) in the first half, shooting 36.7 percent while getting out to a 30-25 lead. They opened the second half with a 36-15 run to create a 66-40 bulge, and they shot 74 percent after half.Creightons superior size and athleticism became apparent as the Greyhounds wore down. Patton dunked three times and Marcus Foster, who had 16 points, dunked once during the decisive run.Patton picked up two quick fouls and was limited to 8 minutes in the first half. He didnt stew on the bench. He said he was happy to play cheerleader.I already have got a chip on my shoulder, Patton said. I sat out a whole year. Im used to it.Loyola had no answer for Patton, with anyone who tried to guard him giving up at least 4 inches. Greyhounds coach G.G. Smith said he considered double-teaming Patton but didnt do it in the first half because Loyola was keeping the game close. In the second half, Patton surprised Smith with shot-making ability.We did a very poor job of making him score over us. We gave him way too many looks at the basket, Smith said. He has pretty nice post moves. Hes a freshman, right? Hes pretty good for a freshman. He has a bright future. Hes a tough matchup for us.Jarred Jones led Loyola with 13 points and Andre Walker added 12 points and five assists.Creighton scored 28 points off the Greyhounds 18 turnovers and outscored them 50-26 in the paint.Tale of two halves, Smith said. Our guys competed in the first half, and we were down five against one of the nations most efficient offensive teams. Theyre so hard to stop for two halves.BIG PICTURELoyola (Md.): The Greyhounds didnt seem intimidated playing in an arena eight times the size of their 2,100-seat gym. They didnt have the manpower to keep up with up-tempo Creighton for 40 minutes.Creighton: It took a while for the Bluejays to get going, but once they did in the second half they looked every bit as good as they did in winning the Paradise Jam.MEAN MARTINMartin Krampelj (pronounced Mar-TEEN CROM-pul) gave the Bluejays what they needed off the bench with center Zach Hanson being out three months with an ankle injury. The 6-9 redshirt freshman from Slovenia was 5 for 7 for 10 points in 16 minutes. He had four points, four rebounds, a block and an assist in 7 minutes off the bench in the first half.POLL IMPLICATIONSCreighton took care of business, remains unbeaten and should stay right where it is in the Top 25 , if not move up a spot or two on the strength of its Paradise Jam championship.UP NEXTLoyola (Md.) heads to Long Island to face Stony Brook on Wednesday.Creighton hosts Buffalo, which will be three days removed from playing in the Great Alaska Shootout, on Tuesday.---More AP college basketball: http://collegebasketball.ap.org NMD Skor Sverige Adidas Stan Smith Sverige .com) - The red-hot Los Angeles Kings will try to extend their winning streak to a season-high seven games when they visit the Edmonton Oilers for Sundays clash at Rexall Place. http://www.nmdsverige.com/ .

Ferrari boss Maurizio Arrivabene insists he has a fantastic relationship with Sebastian Vettel and says he has no problem with the German showing his emotions in or out of the car.Arrivabene and Vettels relationship has come under scrutiny in the second half of Ferraris winless 2016 campaign. Following Vettels angry radio tirade at the Mexican Grand Prix and subsequent apology to race director Charlie Whiting and the FIA, the German has faced questions about whether he has grown frustrated with Ferraris failure to live up to lofty pre-season expectations this year.Arrivabene has categorically stated Vettel is not losing his patience with Ferrari and in fact welcomes the four-time world champion being upset with finishing so far off first position.I have zero problem with Sebastian, Arrivabene said. I mean, as I said many, many times, Sebastian is quite emotional. Sometimes he looks a bit more Latino than German. I think Christian [Horner] knows the matter like I do.Hes very emotional, hes very passionate, especially when hes driving and its in a racing battle. Its not a question of frustration. Sometimes he can be unhappy as we are unhappy because our expectations are different. But hes not a guy who is giving up; hes a guy that is pushing like hell.Sometimes when the adrenalin is going up to the sky, maybe hes choosing a word more than what is expected, butt then my role, like in Mexico, is also to call him and to invite him to be focused on what hes doing.ddddddddddddArrivabene says his relationship with Vettel is healthy and based on honesty and mutual respect.I spoke every day with Sebastian, and not only after the Mexican race. Somebody maybe thinks we have tension or things like this. No, we are honest with each other. The word honesty must sometimes be put in the script or in the article, because we have an honest, open, straightforward relationship and if you are asking me, we are always in agreement, like all human beings, sometimes yes, sometimes no.We have a fantastic relationship and its based on an honest, day after day feedback. I respect him as a driver, he was four times world champion. Hes putting all of himself into the job that hes doing. A couple of months ago, I said sometimes even too much but it was not a criticism. I want to make it clear, once and forever.Its because hes putting all of himself - he tries to put all of himself into everything hes doing and sometimes you just have to say, like in Mexico, hey Seb, calm down, head down, look in front of you and push. And theres nothing wrong with that so you ask me, you can ask him and you have the same version. ' ' '
