LEXINGTON, Ky. -- Only briefly did UCLA appear vulnerable against top-ranked Kentucky. The Wildcats have been one of the hardest teams to beat at home, but they didnt have an answer for UCLA.The 11th-ranked Bruins made timely baskets and rebounds, a consistent combination that grabbed momentum and eventually the game from the Wildcats.Isaac Hamilton scored 19 points,?and?UCLA?beat?Kentucky?97-92 on Saturday. The Bruins victory marked their second upset of the top-ranked Wildcats in as?many?years.?TJ Leaf?added 17 points and 13 rebounds as the Bruins shot 53 percent from the field.More impressively, the Bruins won in their first-ever visit to storied Rupp Arena, where the Wildcats had won 42 straight coming in and 89 percent overall.I dont think there was anything about them today that was a feeling-out process, said UCLA coach Steve Alford, whose team regained the lead for good late in the first half. We talk about, Dont go in and jab around the ring to see if you belong. Youre 8-0. Youre playing well. Trust that you belong. That was the key thing that guys did from the tip.The Bruins (9-0), who entered as the nations third-ranked scoring team, matched their season scoring average to win this showdown of college basketballs winningest schools. Kentucky (7-1) cut a 14-point, second-half deficit to 95-92 on Derek Willis 3-pointer with 8.3 seconds remaining, but Bryce Alfords two free throws with 7.4 left sealed the victory.Besides hitting 35 of 66 from the field, UCLA outrebounded Kentucky 41-38 and limited the Wildcats to 41 percent shooting. It was the most points scored against a Kentucky team coached by John Calipari, who credited the Bruins for controlling the tempo against his talented freshmen.This is a lesson for us, said Calipari, whose team had posted three consecutive 100-point efforts coming in. We didnt have the energy. I had to call a timeout a minute into the game. I mean, just wasnt the same team. There are great lessons out of this. I wish we would have come back and won. ... But sometimes you need to get hit on the chin, especially at home.Hamilton and Leaf led another balanced offensive performance that featured 14 points each from?Lonzo Ball, Alford and Thomas Welsh, and 13 by Aaron Holiday.Malik Monk had 24 points and DeAaron Fox added 20 for Kentucky, which fell to 124-5 at Rupp under Calipari.THE BIG PICTUREUCLA: The key point for the Bruins came seconds before halftime, when Balls 3-pointer provided a 49-45 lead to cap a 58 percent shooting half. I had the shot and I took it, said the freshman, who finished just 2-of-8 from long range and 5-of-12 overall. Coach Alford says to never hesitate. I wasnt hitting the whole game, but in the big moments, Im going to come through. I put it up and it went in. It was a good shot and a good way to go into halftime.The Bruins followed with a 9-2 run to open the second half for a 58-47 lead and kept their poise throughout with another team-wide effort that included 18 assists, six off their season average.Kentucky: The Wildcats overcame a 3-of-9 start to reach 50 percent from the field in the first half before a 1-of-8 spell to close the opening 20 minutes. They never got it going in the second half despite making 5 of 13 from long range. What bothered them most were the defensive breakdowns that allowed UCLA to get good looks.We werent focused like we usually are, Monk said. We have to be focused and ready to play day in and day out. If not, well get beat just like this.BEATING NO. 1sThis was UCLAs 12th victory over a No. 1 team, one behind all-time leader North Carolina.POLL IMPLICATIONSThe Bruins second straight win over Kentucky figures to move them into the Top 10. Kentucky should tumble a few spots, though not many.MAYBE NEXT TIMEKentucky didnt hold a morning shootaround because of the midday start, and Calipari wondered if he should have after looking at the stat sheet.I just felt maybe they were mature enough to do this, he said. Im learning about this team.UP NEXTUCLA: Hosts Michigan on Dec. 10 in the first meeting between the schools since 2011. The Bruins lead the series 11-5 but have lost the past two in the series.Kentucky: Hosts Valparaiso on Wednesday night. Angels Jerseys China .

LOUIS -- St. Wholesale Angels Jerseys .C. at the helm of the top team in the Eastern Conference. His tenure as the GM in Vancouver was all too brief. Though he led the Canucks to what was then a franchise record-shattering campaign in just his second season, Nonis was gone and replaced one year later. ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- Given his occasional ball-in-one-hand running style, LeSean McCoy acknowledges hes not the best person to turn to in pinpointing why the Buffalo Bills have committed so few turnovers this season.I would be lying to you if I just told you we do some super thing to protect the ball, the Bills running back said. There aint no secret.And yet, McCoy and Co. must be doing something right because the Bills have been so proficient at protecting the ball, most of the teams game-day giveaways are coming from the promotions department.Buffalos six turnovers are the fewest through 11 games in NFL history. The previous low over that span was eight shared by five teams, most recently Kansas City last year. The single-season record is 10, set by New England in 2010 and matched by San Francisco the following season.McCoy doesnt have a giveaway in the 167 times hes touched the ball. Hes had three fumbles, with each one recovered by the Bills -- including two by offensive tackle Jordan Mills.Quarterback Tyrod Taylor is responsible for five turnovers, with four interceptions and a lost fumble. The only other miscue was made by rookie running back Jonathan Williams losing a fumble in the final minutes of a 45-16 win over San Francisco on Oct. 16.The Bills (6-5), who prepare to play at AFC West-leading Oakland (9-2) on Sunday, have had six turnover-free games this season in already matching last seasons total.Raiders defensive end Khalil Mack is impressed by how few times Buffalo has turned it over.They do things consistently, theyre fundamentally sound, Mack said. But at the same time, its all about us. And the challenge for us is to make them give us the ball.The key is staying patient, said Mack, who returned an interception for a touchdown in a 35-32 win over Carolina on Sunday.The opportunities will come, he said. As long as you stop the run and be consistent in your pass-rushing and your pass coverage, everything will work itself out.Coach Rex Ryan credits Taylor, whose fouur interceptions are tied for the third-lowest total among quarterbacks with 300 or more attempts.ddddddddddddI think our quarterback in particular is vastly under-rated in that area, Ryan said. Hes not being careless with the football, so he understands it.The knock against Taylor is that he has at times been criticized for being too conservative in making safe, shorter passes than attempting longer passes into one-on-one coverages. Taylor is averaging just 6.7 yards per completion, which puts him 23rd among quarterbacks with 300 or more attempts.Ryan defended Taylor by saying its wrong referring to him as a game manager.I get it. Our numbers arent very good yardage-wise or whatever, Ryan said. But I think the main thing is your pass-efficiency. And I think sometimes thats a little higher rated than what the yardage should be.Taylor said there are times he does take chances.Its my job to take calculated risks, but at the same time be smart with where Im going with the football, Taylor said. Turnovers definitely dont lead to good things in this league.With Buffalos defense forcing 14 takeaways (eight interceptions and six forced fumbles), the team ranks fourth in the league with a plus-8 turnover differential. Its also a plus that Buffalos defense has limited opponents to scoring just two field goals off six turnovers.Linebacker Zach Brown said Buffalos defense has benefited from how well the offense has protected the ball.Brown, however, placed the onus on the defense for not doing enough to play its part.Then again, in the big picture, he said, the objective is to win games, not set records for fewest turnovers.Who cares about that record? Brown said. The records and stuff, its good to break them. But at the end of the day, were just trying to make sure we get some Ws.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL
