OMAHA, Neb.
Marvin Bagley Jersey . -- 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

. The Oilers come in having lost five in a row (0-4-1) and 16 of their last 20
games, dropping a 2-1 decision to the Vancouver Canucks on Tuesday. ST. LOUIS --
The 49ers will have lots of fans in St. Louis on Monday night when they take on
the Los Angeles Rams.Its the first game for the Rams since abandoning its
21-season Midwestern home in January.Jilted fans arent over the resentment,
saying they feel betrayed by Rams owner and native Missourian Stan Kroenke.St.
Louis is widely held as a baseball city, but the Rams sold out every home game
from their arrival in 1995 until December 2006, aa 95-game streak that ended in
the midst of a dreadful run of football.
Jalen Brunson Jersey. The Rams havent had a
winning season since 2003.Over the weekend, a suburban St. Louis Elks Lodge held
a Turn or Burn event. More than 150 people showed up with their old Rams gear,
which they could burn or donate. Most chose to donate.
