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.

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.Cincinnati Reds Pro Shop .

The Ferraris of Kimi Raikkonen and Sebastian Vettel will be in the third row.I had an electronic problem with my throttle on my first quick run in Q3, so I had to abort, Rosberg said. I did a pretty good lap but I wasnt sure if that was enough.It was awesome to hear the fans cheering for me after my run. Its a great atmosphere here in Hockenheim and I cant wait for tomorrow.Three-time world champion Hamilton, winner of the last two titles, has won five of the last six races and leads Rosberg by six points in the standings.It has been a good weekend. I had no problems, said a disappointed-looking Hamilton, giving brief answers at the post-qualifying news conference.I had the pace today, just didnt finish it off. I didnt lock up. It should be a good day for Mercedes tomorrow, Hamilton said.In a team statement, Hamilton expanded: There was nothing particularly wrong today. My final lap just didnt work out.It was pretty close out there and sometimes you get it right, sometimes you dont. The car was feeling great. The team did a great job to get it where I needed it to be and it was definitely on for pole. Ive missed out on pole, so I didnt do what I was supposed to do -- but its in the past now, so you just let it go and look forward.ddddddddddddIt doesnt mean the race isnt there to win tomorrow. But this is a track where you can overtake, so I dont have to go for it at the first corner, Hamilton said.Rosberg also started from pole in Hungary last Sunday but was beaten to the first turn by Hamilton, who went on to win the race and take over the lead in the standings.Rosberg won the last race here in 2014 from pole. This was his fifth pole of the season. No German driver has won back-to-back races at home. There was no race in Germany last year.Keke Rosberg, Nicos father, won pole in Hockenheim 30 years ago.

Ferrari is winless after 11 races this year, with 10 remaining.I think we got pretty close to the Mercedes, Ricciardo said. My first lap in Q3 was really good and I knew there was probably not much more on the table. There was maybe a tenth of a second in it if there was a perfect lap.We might have different tires available for us for the race and hopefully that makes it interesting, Ricciardo said.Ricciardos teammate Verstappen is the only driver to win a race this season apart from Rosberg and Hamilton.Vettel, a four-time champion with Red Bull, was hoping for a stronger showing in his first race with Ferrari in Germany. Vettel was born and grew up in nearby Heppenheim and considers Hockenheim his home course.I didnt feel that comfortable in qualifying, Vettel said. Were not here to start P5 or P6. We have fallen back.Ferrari parted company with technical director James Allison just before arriving in Germany and appointed Mattia Binotto as chief technical officer.---This story has been corrected to fix number of poles for Rosberg to 27.
