WACO, Texas -- Baylor fans filled the arena with the obligatory chants over Over-rated! in the closing minutes as the ninth-ranked Bears were closing out a convincing victory over No. 7 Xavier.Maybe they should have been chanting Under-rated! for their own team.Manu Lecomte scored 24 points, Johnathan Motley had 17 points with eight rebounds and the Bears took over in the second half for a 76-61 victory Saturday. Less than a month into the season, they already have three wins over Top 10 teams for the first time.We just go out and play hard every day, Motley said, when asked if the Bears were still ranked too low. Whatever rankings say, thats what they say. I guarantee you every day, every game, were going to come out with the same intensity. Play together as a family. Were all in, and it results in Ws.Baylor (8-0) started the season unranked and not even getting any votes. They moved to No. 20 in the second poll of the regular season, after a win over then-No. 4 Oregon, and shot up to No. 9 with a first-place vote in the last poll after winning the Battle 4 Atlantis with wins over then-No. 24 Michigan State and then-No. 10 Louisville.Now they have another impressive victory by beating Xavier (7-1), which led by as many as nine points before halftime. The Bears came from behind in the second half like they did in all three games last week in the Bahamas.Give Baylor a lot of credit. Theyre awfully good. Its nothing we didnt know coming in, Xavier coach Chris Mack said. Theyve been a second-half team seems like all year so far, and today was no different.Xavier led 51-50 when Edmond Sumner, who had 19 points, hit a 3-pointer with 11:15 to play. The Musketeers then went almost 9 minutes before making another field goal.Lecomte, the former Miami transfer, put Baylor ahead to stay with two free throws. By time he made a jumper with 3:36 left, it capped a 21-2 run to put the Bears up 71-53.Trevon Bluiett, who led the Musketeers with 23 points and fouled out, made a 3-pointer with 2:33 for their first basket since their last lead.BIG PICTUREXavier: The Musketeers had won 21 consecutive non-conference games since a double-overtime loss at Auburn two years ago. They were 3-0 against Top 10 opponents last season, but the Big Easts best team in field goal percentage couldnt hold down Baylor.Baylor: The Bears, who now have 10 days between games because of final exams, have passed their big tests on the court so far. Lecomte has been a spark with returners Motley, Al Freeman and Ishmael Wainright in the starting lineup, along with 7-footer Jo Lual-Acuil. Their next big game is the Dec. 30 Big 12 opener at Oklahoma.A BAYLOR FIRSTIt was Baylors first victory in a matchup of Top 10 teams. The Bears were 0-6 in the previous such games, all of them in Big 12 play -- including five during the 2011-12 season. ... Baylor has won 39 consecutive non-conference home games over the last four years.HE SAID ITWe went a bunch of times into the post. We lost the ball. We had three or four turnovers where the ball got knocked out of our hands. We had opportunities when we got fouled to go to the free throw line and convert, and we missed. -- Mack.POLL IMPLICATIONSWith Xavier among three Top 10 losers Saturday, that makes room for Baylor to move up a few spots in the new AP Top 25 on Monday. The Musketeers could fall out of the Top 10, but probably not by much.UP NEXTXavier plays its next two games against Pac-12 teams, going to Colorado on Wednesday and then hosting Utah next Saturday. The game against Utah is the first of four consecutive home games, a stretch that will conclude with the Big East Conference opener against Providence on Dec. 28.Baylors next game is Dec. 14 vs Southern University, one of three SWAC teams that will play in a four-game stretch over eight days when they also host John Brown, an NAIA school from Arkansas.---More AP college basketball: www.collegebasketball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25 .

Deulofeu injured a muscle in his right leg in Evertons 4-1 win over Fulham in the English Premier League on Saturday. Barcelona says that its team doctors will "co-ordinate" with Evertons medical staff as Deulofeu recovers.OAKLAND, Calif. -- Oaklands pitchers are on a roll again and the Athletics are winning with a similar formula to the one that carried them to a surprising AL West crown last fall. Josh Donaldsons sixth-inning sacrifice fly ended a career-best 28-inning scoreless streak by Chicago starter Chris Sale, and the As shut out the White Sox for the second time in three games with a 2-0 win Sunday for a weekend sweep. "We know that these guys have been scuffling as of late and we wanted to come out and we wanted to bury them," As catcher Derek Norris said. "The last thing you want to do is give a team thats struggling a chance to come back and make a run." Jarrod Parker (4-6) hung tough in an impressive pitchers duel with Sale to win back-to-back starts for the first time this year. The right-hander matched his season high with seven strikeouts in 6 1-3 innings as Oakland won for the ninth time in 11 games. The As swept a third straight home series to run their unbeaten run in the Coliseum to eight games, the longest winning streak at home since a 10-gamer from Aug. 11 to Sept. 1, 2006. Two days after 40-year-old Bartolo Colons five-hit gem Friday night, Parker shined. "I think its something where we feed off each other," Parker said. "This team is built around pitching and defence." Sale (5-3) lost for the first time in six starts since an April 18 defeat at Toronto. The White Sox (24-30) lost their season-high sixth in a row and matched a season-worst by falling to six games below .500. Sales 28-inning stretch without allowing a run was the longest by a White Sox pitcher since Wilson Alvarez went 31 scoreless innings from Sept. 11-27, 1993. The streak by Sale nearly ended last Tuesday, when he pitched three innings against the Cubs before the game was rained out -- keeping the run going for at least one more start as the rainout stats dont count. "Im glad its over so we can stop talking about it and get back to normal baseball business and go to Seattle and turn this thing around," Sale said. "I just flat out got outpitched by Parker. Losing a game like this is tough, being shut out. But dont think for a second that Ive lost faith or anybody else in here has lost faith in what we know we can do." Coco Crisp drew a leaodff walk in the sixth, then Jed Lowrie singled as Crisp went to third. Sale received a mound visit from pitching coach Don Cooper before facing Yoenis Cespedes. The Cuban star was callled out on an 80 mph curveball, then Donaldson had plenty on his flyball to right to bring home Crisp.dddddddddddd Crisp scored again in the eighth when freshly called up centre fielder Jordan Danks misplayed Lowries single for an error. Facing a left-handed starter for the seventh time in 10 games, Oakland did just enough a day after stranding 18 runners in a 4-3, 10-inning victory. The slumping White Sox missed more chances in the finale. Adam Dunn hit a two-out double in the fourth that hit at the top of the wall as centre fielder Crisp tried to make a play but didnt track it to where it landed and was not in the right place. But Parker struck out Casper Wells to end the inning moments later. Parker allowed two hits in 6 1-3 innings with two walks. Jerry Blevins got one out in the sixth, Ryan Cook struck out three of the four batters he faced, then Grant Balfour finished the three-hit shutout for his 13th save in as many chances and 31st in a row dating to last season. Watching the starters do their thing has been fun for Balfour and his bullpen mates. "We love it down there," he said. "It makes our jobs a lot easier. Parkers been on a little role here now." Sale lost for the first time in his career against an AL West opponent, dropping to 10-1. He would have become the only pitcher in baseball history to win his first 11 career decisions against the division, according to STATS. He is the first White Sox pitcher to go six or more innings with two or fewer earned runs in seven straight starts since Gavin Floyd from June 8 to July 10, 2010. "Its tough when youre a pitcher and you cant give up a run," White Sox skipper Robin Ventura said. Chicago first baseman and designated hitter Paul Konerko sat out with a recurring stiff neck, but he expects to be back in the lineup Monday at Seattle. Notes: Oakland is 9-1 in a stretch with 17 games in as many days. The As go to Milwaukee, where they are set to face three straight righty starters. ... Ventura will miss games against the As in Chicago next Thursday and Friday to attend his daughters high school graduation. Bench coach Mark Parent will manage the team Thursday, then he leaves for Friday and Saturdays games for a family graduation of his own. Cooper will manage Friday. ... Sale lost for only the fifth time in his career during the first half (17-5). ... Chicago bullpen coach Bobby Thigpen went 27 1-3 scoreless innings from Aug. 10 to Sept. 20, 1986.
