Its hard to believe that its been 20 years since the Magnificent Seven became the first U.S. womens gymnastics team to win Olympic gold as a team at the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta. And its even harder -- for those of us who remember the day firsthand, anyway -- to imagine its been 32 years since little Mary Lou Retton scored a perfect 10 on her first vault at the 1984 Games in Los Angeles.Saturday night at Olympic trials, more than 140 former U.S. Olympic gymnasts, including the members of the two most famous teams in U.S. history, turned out for a family reunion of sorts in San Jose.The more distance I get, the more inspired I am by the remarkable women on my team, says Dominique Moceanu, who was 14 at the 1996 Games. When we come together, theres a level of respect for what we accomplished. It radically transformed the landscape of gymnastics in the United States.Of course, the loudest cheers of the night were for the tiniest woman on the 1984 team. I was so excited. It was very special walking out on stage to represent the 80s, Retton said. The 80s was the best decade.While gushing to the media about her former teammates, Retton also revealed they almost didnt compete wearing the stars-and-stripes leotard for which she is so inextricably tied.When we first saw the 1984 Olympic leotards, we didnt like them at all. We were appalled, she said. We said, We cant wear the flag! We hated them. And now we all laugh about it because it was the best thing that could have happened.

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 ppoints 12 minutes into the game.ddddddddddddThe 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 ' ' '
