OMAHA, Neb. -- No one at Creightons game had to go hungry Friday night.Fans win free pizza when the 10th-ranked Bluejays score 75 points. That was taken care of less than five minutes into the second half against Longwood.By the end of a 113-58 victory, Creighton had set the CenturyLink Center record for points and posted their most lopsided victory since beating Texas-Arlington by 56 in November 2002.Players hungry for minutes were satisfied, too. All 13 Creighton players who suited up scored, and all but one got at least 10 minutes.Marcus Foster and Khyri Thomas led the way with 16 points apiece, and reserve Martin Krampelj had 11 points, eight rebounds and two blocked shots.Obviously I liked the way we played tonight. Our efficiency offensively once again was off the charts, coach Greg McDermott said.The Bluejays shot 58.6 percent, made 12 of 22 3-pointers and dunked 10 times against their overmatched opponent from the Big South Conference.Leading 62-25 at the break, the Bluejays scored their most points in a half in McDermotts seven seasons.What a prolific scoring basketball team, Longwood coach Jayson Gee said. Dominant in transition. Tremendous depth and something we were not prepared to combat tonight, for sure.Maurice Watson Jr. had 10 points and 11 rebounds for his third double-double of the season. Toby Hegner and Isaiah Zierden also had 10 points apiece.Khris Lane and JaShaun Smith scored 12 points apiece for the Lancers (2-5), who are missing three players because of injuries.Creightons two-day turnaround from a 77-62 win at in-state rival Nebraska was no issue.Theres risk of a little hangover from that, McDermott said, and, fortunately, our guys are mature enough that that didnt happen.The Bluejays made 5 of their first six 3s, 10 of their first 13 shots overall and led by 20 points 12 minutes into the game.The crowds interest waned as the margin grew wider in the second half. The last big roars came when world junior welterweight boxing champion Terence Bud Crawford was shown on the video board and when the score of the Creighton volleyball teams NCAA regional match against Michigan was announced.Creighton is among eight remaining unbeaten teams in Division I and is the first to win 10 games. The Bluejays are off to their best start since the 2003-04 team opened 12-0.We try not to focus on everything thats said in the media, although its great and were very honored to be mentioned and talked about so highly, Zierden said. We know that we have a long ways to go to be where we want to be and we have to try to stay focused and get a little bit better.THE BIG PICTURELongwood: The Virginia-based Lancers got a nice paycheck for coming halfway across the country to play their first Top 25 opponent in four years.Creighton: This one turned into a glorified scrimmage for the Bluejays. Everybody who suited up got to play, and no one got hurt. Seems like a win-win. Now they take off a week for final exams.POLL IMPLICATIONSWith wins by 15 points over Nebraska and 55 points over Longwood, Creighton wont drop from No. 10 in the Top 25 come Monday.HE SAID ITI tried to do everything in my power when we were up 2-0 to get the game called. I thought about hitting the light switches. I tried everything. Next thing you know they rolled off 10 straight points. -- Gee.UP NEXTLongwood visits George Mason on Monday.Creighton hosts Oral Roberts on Dec. 17.---More AP college basketball: www.collegebasketball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25 USA Soccer Jerseys 2020 .

EUGENE, Ore. -- Allyson Felix had the star power to change the Olympic schedule.Now, its her schedule that needs adjusting.Felixs run at the 200-400 Olympic double, made possible after Olympics officials honored her request for a chance to run both races, came to an earlier-than-expected end Sunday. She finished fourth in the 200-meter final, one spot away from Rio, in a .01-second loss to a sprawling Jenna Prandini at U.S. Track and Field Trials.Honestly, disappointed, said Felix, who will not get a chance to defend her Olympic title in her signature event. The whole year, that has been what I was working for. When I look back and see everything that happened, I still think its quite amazing I was able to make the team.She did make the 400-meter lineup, and that is, indeed, quite an accomplishment considering the injury she suffered this spring. After landing awkwardly on an exercise ball while doing core work, she rolled her right ankle.The injury was so severe she avoided running around the track in the correct, counterclockwise direction until just before trials, for fear she would put too much outside pressure on her injured ankle.In track parlance, a sprinter doesnt necessarily have to be fast to succeed in the 400 -- a full lap around the track in which technique is more important than pure speed. But in the 200, it takes a more aggressive lean into the curve at the opening of the race -- just the sort of speed work Felix didnt get enough of during her slow comeback.I could only do what I could with the ankle, she said.And so, she started slow, never made up ground against winner Tori Bowie or second-place Deajah Stevens and could not hold off Prandini, the former University of Oregon star who had to wait about 30 seconds to see the result for third place go up on the board. Afterward, she was scraped-up but smiling.I dont know what happened, said Prandini, who finished in 22.53 seconds. But it got the job done.One of Felixs biggest fans made news earlier in the day: According to USA Track and Field, 16-year-old Sydney McLaughlin will be the youngest member to compete for the U.S. Olympic track team since 1972 after finishing third in the 400-meter hurdles.Not bad for the junior out of Union Catholic High School in New Jersey, who turned on the Beijing Olympics eight years ago, saw Felix winning the 4x400 relay and thought, Id like to be like her, someday.Asked what she liked most about Felix, McLaughlin said: She wasnt afraid to lose.Sometimes, I get so caught up in the fact that I hadnt lost a hurdles race, and I come here, and these girls are faster than me, said McLaughlin, who admitted to being so nervous earlier in the week she considered pulling out of the meet. Its realizing that sometimes you have too lose to get better.ddddddddddddIt happened to Felix plenty over the years, none more heartbreakingly than in Athens and Beijing, where she settled for back-to-back silvers in an event she had dominated.But she won gold in 2012.And with track and field -- and possibly NBC, as well -- desperate for some star power in a sport now headlined by Usain Bolt and a worldwide doping crisis, a scheduling change that would double the track time for one of Americas most popular runners was a no-brainer.But U.S. trials dont guarantee anything, and on Sunday, a few more potential medal contenders -- including 400-meter hurdlers Johnny Dutch and Bershawn Jackson -- also saw some dreams end early.Felix is still going to Rio de Janeiro. But with more free time on her hands than originally planned.Im pretty sure everyone expected to see her on the (200) team, Bowie said. Im pretty sure it wont be the same without her.Other happenings on the final day of track trials:DIVING FOR RIO: Prandini wasnt the only one who left her feet trying to get that last spot. Last weekend, Brenda Martinez was devastated when she got tripped in the 800-meter final and left behind at the finish. On Sunday, she wasnt going to miss her chance. She leaned, and then barreled over the finish line of the 1,500-meter final to take the third and final spot. Ricky Babineaux had a dive that didnt work out as well; he still came up .06 short of third in the 400 hurdles. I think it was worth the dive, if I wouldve made it, he said.THE SUHR THING: Jenn Suhr is about as close to a sure thing as there is in track and field. Still, the defending Olympic pole vault champion was in tears after she won to make her third Olympics. It doesnt get any easier when you get older, she said in an on-track interview. Im just happy that all the work was worth it.IF THE SHOE FITS: Kim Conley saw her first attempt at making the Olympics spoiled when her shoe came off in the 10,000 meters. No wardrobe malfunction this time. She finished third in the 5,000. I had my heart set on the 10 this year. That was disappointing. I feel like I turned the page really well, she said.OTHER WINNERS: Matt Centrowitz won, as expected, in the mens 1,500. Hell be joined by Robby Andrews and Ben Blankenship. Barbara Nwaba took the heptathlon title. Kerron Clement won 400-meter hurdles to make his third Olympics. He won silver in Beijing and finished eighth in London. Erik Kynard was the mens high jump champion, with a leap of 7 feet, 6 inches.QUOTABLE: When I give all I have and run 22.5, its just not there. -Felix, on her time (22.54 seconds) that landed her fourth in the 200.
