TUCSON, Ariz. -- Lauri Markkanen dropped a bounce pass to Dusan Ristic, setting up his fellow big man for an easy basket to open the game. The 7-footer from Finland scored his first points on a dunk , then stepped out and swished a 3-pointer.In a season of fabulous freshmen, Markkanen is already making a name for himself.Markkanen hit five 3-pointers while scoring 19 points, grabbed six rebounds and dished out five assists, helping No. 16 Arizona bounce back from its first loss of the season with an 85-63 rout of Texas Southern on Wednesday night.If hes hitting the outside shot like that, theres not much you can do about it, Texas Southern coach Mike Davis said.Arizona (6-1) had no letdown after losing to Butler last week, jumping on the Tigers (4-3) from the opening tip. The Wildcats built a 13-point lead in the opening 5 minutes and were up 19 by halftime, cruising to the 37th straight non-conference win at McKale Center.Kobi Simmons had 15 points and Kadeem Allen finished with 14 points and seven assists for Arizona.The only bad news for the Wildcats was that starting point guard Parker Jackson-Cartwright did not return after spraining his right ankle in the first half. Arizona coach Sean Miller said Cartwright could be out a considerable amount of time, a big blow to a team already struggling with injuries.Someone could get hurt tomorrow, again, Miller said. Thats just the way it is.Zach Lofton led Texas Southern with 19 points and Jalan McCloud added 14.The Wildcats and Tigers met once, a 93-72 win by Arizona in the second round of the 2015 NCAA Tournament.Arizona raced to a 15-2 lead in that game and did the exact same thing to the Tigers in the rematch.We just got overwhelmed early, Davis said. It was the best team and biggest crowd weve seen this season and we played pretty tight, and they played really well.Scoring in transition , on 3-pointers and passes inside by their big men, the Wildcats made 20 of 35 shots in the first half and led 45-26. Markkanen was on the mark, hitting all three of his 3-point attempts to score 11 points by halftime.Arizona rolled from there, never letting the lead dip under 16 points.BIG PICTURETexas Southern stood little chance of hanging with the long, athletic Wildcats, but the experience could help them once the SWAC season starts.Arizona responded nicely to its loss to Butler last week, shooting 62 percent and hitting 8 of 14 from 3-point range to roll over an opponent it was supposed to beat.CARTWRIGHTS INJURYCartwright was injured with 12:27 left in the first half after getting tangled on a screen. He was called for a foul and limped off to the bench.Arizona twice turned to walk-on Tyler Trillo with Jackson-Cartwright out.A prolonged injury could be bad news for the already-short-handed Wildcats. Guard Allonzo Trier has yet to play this season due to unspecified reasons and forward Ray Smith ended his career after suffering a third torn ACL during an exhibition game.TIGER OF A SCHEDULETexas Southern has one of the most difficult schedules for a non-power program in the country, a move designed to improve its RPI coming out of the SWAC.The Tigers open the season with 16 straight road games and in addition to Arizona, will face No. 14 Louisville, No. 9 Baylor, Cincinnati, LSU and TCU before starting conference play on Jan. 2.We just want to get better every game, Davis said. Now they see the level that you have to be at, how hard you have to work.ALLEY-OOP TRADEAllen and Simmons took turns feeding each other with alley-oop pases in Arizonas highlight-reel-filled first half.Simmons found Allen first, then it was Allens turn to hit his teammate , both bringing the McKale Center crowd to their feet.UP NEXTTexas Southern plays at Southern Illinois on Saturday.Arizona plays at No. 9 Gonzaga on Saturday.---More AP college basketball: www.collegebasketball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25.

GENEVA -- After an internal investigation, UEFA has found that former general secretary Gianni Infantino and current president Aleksander Ceferin did not break any rules when the governing body of European soccer sent a multimillion dollar loan to the Slovenian federation.The 4 million euro ($4.4 million) deal for a betting company investment in June 2015 -- which an internal UEFA report says was granted in real exception -- has been scrutinized because it was signed off by Infantino and Ceferin. They have since won unexpected elections as presidents of FIFA and UEFA, respectively.A Norwegian magazine reported that FIFA ethics prosecutors are investigating Infantinos part in the loan. It said UEFA flouted financial protocol to approve the money, and noted that FIFAs code of ethics prohibits individuals from investing in soccer gambling operators.The UEFA disciplinary committee asked its investigations unit to report on claims initially made by Scandinavian media last month.The inquiry document, seen by The Associated Press, concluded that UEFA and the Slovenian federation respected the relevant provisions and conditions of granting loans to members.The loan was granted entirely in accordance with standard UEFA procedures and that the use of the loan funds by the Slovenian (federation) raised no questions either, UEFA said Wednesday in a statement to the AP.The document noted that FIFAs ethical rules on betting and integrity of matches relate to persons, not institutions. The code, therefore, does neither apply to UEFA, nor to national associations, the document concludes.Despite UEFAs internal report, FIFA ethics prosecutors can independently seek evidence and demand witness statements. However, it is unclear if an early stage probe has begun.The investigatory chamber of the FIFA ethics committee said it would never confirm an ongoing preliminary inquiry. But that can lead to a formal case being opened, which would typically be announced.The multimillion dollar loan from UEFA was detailed last month after FIFA built closer links to Slovenia.In July, FIFA appointed Slovenia state auditor Tomaz Vesel to chair its independent audit and compliance committee and a panel which sets salaries. Norwegian magazine Josimar reported that Vesel plays on an amateur soccer team with Ceferin, who it claimed was supported by Infantinos staff in what became a landslide winn for the UEFA presidency in September.ddddddddddddnterviewed by the AP last week, Ceferin described reports seeking to implicate him as mosquito bites helped by an old guard of soccer insiders opposing him.They had to try to invent some non-stories, Ceferin said at UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland, insisting the loan was as clean as possible. We asked for a loan, it was a strategic investment.The report says Infantino was not directly involved in Slovenias formal request in December 2014, which had one sole known and well-documented aim -- to buy a 17.3 percent share of the state lottery Sportna loterija. The owners include the Slovenian Olympic committee and national ski federation.UEFA said its loan policy is to co-finance strategic projects with a lasting impact and can never be granted to support bad management or wrong decisions.Slovenia got exceptional treatment at two stages of the process, the report acknowledged, though notes that UEFA previously granted 25 loans to member federations.One exception was in granting a force majeure loan in May 2015 that had to be approved by five senior UEFA officials, including then-president Michel Platini and Infantino. A detailed cash-flow plan also had to be given, and the Slovenian federation suggested the investment would earn extra revenue after eight years.UEFA said it also allows in very exceptional cases for its finance committee to grant loans guaranteed against a members future payments from UEFA-controlled broadcasting and sponsorship sales of World Cup and European Championship qualifying matches.UEFA wrote to Ceferin on April 28, 2015, that Platini must approve how Slovenia could repay the loan. It would be offset against 800,000 euro ($870,000) payments Slovenia was due to get each August from 2016 through 2020.Noting that other UEFA members had commercial ties to betting operators, the report said the Spanish soccer federation got 1 percent of national lottery profits which was worth 70 million euros ($76 million) since 1998.Furthermore, and as everybody knows, it is not at all uncommon for national football associations, or for football clubs, to have commercial relationships with companies in the lottery or gaming business, UEFA said in its statement Wednesday.
