Air Max 97 Cheap Sale .com) - Darrun Hilliard had 21 points and four steals and No. 8 Villanova dismantled DePaul 81-64, handing the Blue Demons their first conference loss of the season. Ryan Arcidiacono scored 14 points on 5-for-6 shooting, including 4-of-5 from 3-point range, in Villanovas second straight convincing win following its first loss of the season, an overtime setback against Seton Hall on Jan. 3. It started with our defense and we really shared the ball well, Villanova head coach Jay Wright said. I thought the first half was the key to the game. The Wildcats (15-1, 3-1 Big East) outscored St. Johns and DePaul by 35 points since losing to Seton Hall and have shot 23-for-52 from behind the arc during this two-game win streak. Tommy Hamilton IV and Darrick Wood posted 12 and 10 points, respectively, for DePaul (9-8, 3-1), which entered Saturdays tilt as the only unbeaten team in the Big East. DePaul turned the ball over four times during a 13-0 Villanova run early in the contest. Hilliard kicked off the spurt with 3-pointers on consecutive possessions and Daniel Ochefus jam at 12:03 capped it and gave Nova a 16-5 lead. Later in the half, the Blue Demons went nearly five minutes without scoring as Villanova extended its lead to 24-9. Arcidiacono then followed in Hilliards footsteps with 3s on back-to-back touches during an 11-0 flurry. A designed play at the end of the half, executed to perfection, sent the Wildcats into the locker rooms with a 21-point lead. After Hamilton made three free throws with two seconds to play, Josh Hart made a baseball pass from under his own basket all the way down the court. Ochefu caught it in traffic and quickly swung to a wide-open Arcidiacono, whose baseline jumper beat the buzzer. The spread reached 34 points in the second half before Villanova pulled its starters and DePaul made the final score more respectable.

OAKLAND, Calif. -- Sonny Gray has been so good over the past two months the Oakland Athletics havent needed to score runs in bunches. On Friday night, with slugger Yoenis Cespedes gone to the Boston Red Sox, they had no answer for Jeremy Guthrie. Raul Ibanez homered on Grays lone mistake, breaking his own franchise record for oldest Royals player to clear the fences and leading Kansas City past the As 1-0 on Friday night. The 42-year-old Ibanez connected in the fifth inning for his fifth homer, giving Guthrie the lone run he needed for Kansas Citys first victory at the Oakland Coliseum since April 10, 2012. The Royals went 1-5 against the As last season, including 0-3 on the road. "Theres no doubt about it, with the pitching matchups were facing in this series, this was a huge win for us," manager Ned Yost said. Gray (12-4) hung tough in a pitchers duel with Guthrie. The right-hander struck out seven in seven innings and didnt walk a batter for the first time all year. "You get spoiled because it seems like hes doing it every time out. He has done it every time out," As manager Bob Melvin said. "Hes been as consistent as a pitcher can be." Gray had his five-start winning streak snapped with his first losing decision in eight outings dating to a June 13 home loss against the Yankees. "The past is the past and you move on," Gray said. "Obviously I had a good month. That doesnt matter." Guthrie (7-9) struck out six in six innings to win his second straight outing following a three-start skid as the Royals beat the team with baseballs best record for their third straight win and eighth in 10. It could get tougher Saturday, when Jon Lester makes his As debut two days after being traded by the Red Sox. The As struggled to get anything going and lost for the third time in four games a day after trading two-time reigning Home Run Derby champion Cespedes to the Red Sox for Lester and Jonny Gomes. Guthrie struck out the side in the sixth, retiring Brandon Moss and Jed Lowrie on consecutive called third strikes. Nori Aoki douubled leading off the game and advanced on a wild pitch, but Gray retired the next three batters in order to avoid damage. Air Max 97 Cheap China. Grey had five or more strikeouts in each of his five July outings, going 5-0 with a 1.03 ERA for the month. ROYALS BULLPEN: Kansas Citys bullpen delivered again. The steady pitching has been key in winning a recent run of close games. Greg Holland followed scoreless innings by Kelvin Herrera and Wade Davis for his 30th save in 32 chances -- and third in as many games. "Its one of those situations where youre in a 1-0 game with a tough pitching staff over there, you know theres not going to be a lot of runs scored so you want to go on with your best guys," Yost said. TRAINERS ROOM: Royals: First baseman Eric Hosmer, who will be out three to six weeks after sustaining a stress fracture of the third finger on his right hand Thursday, is likely headed to the disabled list Saturday. Yost said more testing is likely but a hand specialist has already evaluated him. "Its a non-displaced stress fracture," Yost said. "That means it doesnt need to be casted, doesnt need surgery, just needs time to heal. Hes a pretty quick healer, but its probably going to be a 3-4 week ordeal." Athletics: Center fielder Coco Crisp received pain-relieving trigger-point injections in his strained neck over recent days. Crisp missed his fifth straight game and Melvin said he needs to take swings to test the neck before returning. FULDS RETURN: Sam Fuld started in centre field and batted leadoff one day after returning to Oakland where he began the season following a trade from Minnesota. His leadoff double in the fourth was the first hit off fellow ex-Stanford player Guthrie. ON DECK: Royals: Left-hander Jason Vargas (8-4, 3.31 ERA) makes his first start since July 8. He underwent an appendectomy the next day after he experienced discomfort. Athletics: Lester pitches on seven days rest after getting scratched Wednesday ahead of the trade deadline. Lester (10-7, 2.52 ERA) is 4-0 with a 1.07 ERA over his last eight starts. ' ' '
