LEXINGTON, Ky. -- Kentucky, the newly crowned No. 1 team in America, puts that ranking and its unbeaten season on the line when Cleveland State visits Rupp Arena on Wednesday afternoon.Just dont look for coach John Calipari to be chanting, Were No. 1! coming out the locker room.Weve got to get more consistency, more discipline, Calipari said. Im just saying its a process thats going to take time.For the first time this season, Calipari started four freshmen against Duquesne on Sunday night.These guys, were four games in, and you got to understand, its like their high school season, Calipari said. They never worked like this. Its not just the games. Every practice theyre going at each other. They have never done that before.They were by far the best high school player on their team, they practiced when they felt like it. Doesnt mean they didnt work, but they practiced against a guy that couldnt guard them. Now, theyre in this gym, and youre going against another guy that can play. And its every day. And were not letting up as a staff.Through the 4-0 start, Kentucky is led in scoring by sophomore guard Isaiah Briscoe at 18 points per game. Next comes the four freshman starters -- Malik Monk (15.8), DeAaron Fox (15.3), Bam Adebayo (9.3) and Wenyen Gabriel (6.3). Adebayo is the teams top rebounder at 6.3.As a team, the strongest indicator might be turnover margin. Kentucky forced 84 turnovers, but only committed 48. Thats 21 forced turnovers per game. On offense, UK is outscoring opponents by an average count of 86-60.The Vikings are 1-2 with a victory over Canisius 67-64 and losses to Kent State 79-74 and Tennessee-Martin 85-74.Sophomore guard Rob Edwards leads Cleveland State at 17 points per game while freshman guard Kasheem Thomas is tops with 6.3 assists and 6-7 sophomore forward Jibri Blount leads in rebounding at 5.7.Kentucky, Cleveland State, Canisius, Duquesne and UT Martin are all participating in the Bluegrass Showcase, a loosely aligned round-robin event spread over the first two weeks of the season.Kentucky also already defeated Canisius and Duquesne and faces UT Martin on Friday night in Lexington.They understand what were looking to do, where we have to be by the time February hits, Calipari said. Our discipline defensively is not what it needs to be. Were not running gaps. We took shots that we never work on. Like invented shots. Thats just lack of discipline.Thats the normal process you go through with young guys. They just dont have the discipline to play every possession to be graded. Did we do the whole possession until they shot? Did we rebound, did we block out, all of it, did we finish the possession? I would say, No, not on this team right now. Were not able to go seven perfect possessions. Dont worry if they score. Did we play it the right way? Were not disciplined enough right now.

ARLINGTON, Texas -- Joey Wendle led off the game with his first major league homer and the Oakland Athletics were off to a fast start in yet another victory over Yu Darvish.Marcus Semien added a three-run blast off the Texas Rangers ace who has long struggled against the AL West rival, and the As won 11-2 on Saturday night.I think it was more command with him. What, he walked three guys in a row? Just not really like him, As manager Bob Melvin said. It was just an off night for him command-wise.Raul Alcantara (1-1), among five As pitchers who have made their MLB debuts this season with a start, worked into the sixth. The right-hander allowed two runs, on Carlos Gomezs homer in the sixth, with three strikeouts and no walks in his third career start.He ran out of gas a little bit in the sixth, but he was getting some funky swings from some really good hitters. So its good to see, Melvin said. I know he feels good about the outing. It gives you a lot of confidence going forward knowing that you can pitch against a lineup like this and have some success. You could just see his confidence grow as the game went along.Darvish (5-5) allowed seven runs, matching his career high, over five innings. The right-hander struck out eight but also walked four, including three batters in a row to start the second, to fall to 2-9 in 13 career starts against the As. No other MLB team has beaten him more than four times.I noticed that early the fastball command wasnt there. So you get him looking in one spot, Semien said. Hes going to throw it in there. He throws a lot of offspeed too, so we were able to key in on one pitch and did a good job.When Darvish last faced Oakland -- a day after his 30th birthday exactly a month ago Saturday -- he struck out nine and walked one in seven innings in a 6-2 victory.ddddddddddddBefore that, he had gone 0-8 in 10 starts against time since winning against them more than four years earlier in his eighth game after coming from Japan.Wendle, a rookie second baseman in his 15th career game, hit a 1-1 pitch into the left-field seats for a 1-0 lead, and his sac fly in the second inning made it 4-0.After Darvish walked the bases loaded to start the second, Bruce Maxwell singled up the middle to drive home two runs. Wendle hit his sac fly after Brett Eibner struck out.Semiens 26th homer, with two outs in the fifth, put the As up 7-0.Ive been having good command throughout this year. Today I didnt have it, Darvish said through his translator. I think its because I wasnt getting a good feel for it physically, and a feel for the pitches. Im not talking about pain or anything, its just the feel. I just didnt pitch well today.SHORT HOPSOakland, already guaranteed consecutive losing seasons for the first time since 2007-09, won for the fifth time its last six games. ... The As have scored 60 runs their last six games, after only 41 runs the previously 15.TRAINERS ROOMAthletics: Right-hander Sonny Gray, out since Aug. 7 with a strained right forearm, threw all of his pitches during a 31-pitch bullpen session. He will get a couple of days off before another bullpen, and could still potentially pitch in another game this season. ...UP NEXTAthletics: Since eight scoreless innings in his first start for Oakland, lefty Ross Detwiler is 1/3 with a 5.25 ERA his last seven games (six starts).Rangers: Colby Lewis (6-2, 3.31) makes his only his second start since a two-month stint on the DL with a strained right lat.
