WACO, Texas -- If there was ever a game for No. 4 Baylors depth to show, it was Sunday against an overmatched NAIA school in John Brown.All 11 Bears who played scored at least one basket, and Johnathan Motley had 20 points and nine rebounds in a 107-53 victory.Everybody just looks forward to playing basketball like I do, so it was just another game to have fun, Motley said. The best part of the season is playing games, so we just tried to have as much fun as possible.No Bear had as much fun as Motley, who also added a team-best and career-high five assists. One of those came when he had a breakaway, but passed it off the backboard to teammate Jo Lual-Acuil for a dunk that brought the crowd of 5,045 to its feet.Baylor (11-0) shot 59 percent from the floor, including an 11 for 21 clip from 3-point range, dominated on the boards by a 51-15 margin and forced 18 turnovers that turned into 19 points on the other end.John Brown is a different level, but I think most of the older people remember Virginia-Chaminade, Baylor coach Scott Drew said. Each and every year you have non-Division I teams that get upsets. The first year we were in the NCAA tournament, we were upset in an exhibition by Tarleton State. That stuff happens. You have to be on point every game.Al Freeman added 16 points for Baylor, Jo Lual-Acuil and Wendell Mitchell had 11 apiece, and Terry Maston finished with 10. Nobody played more than 21 minutes, but 10 Bears logged at least 17.Josh Bowling led the Golden Eagles (9-5) with 14 points. They have dropped two straight, both against Division I opponents. The Golden Eagles fell to Oral Roberts on Dec. 10.We were just thankful for the opportunity today, John Brown coach Jason Beschta said. You dont come in resigned that youre going to get smashed. You come in and we want to compete and get better in a game like this. But it is exciting for a small school to be able to come into this kind of environment.BIG PICTUREJohn Brown: Getting the ball inside proved to be a chore against the size and athleticism of Baylors front line, but the Golden Eagles had some success from deep with six 3-pointers in the first half and nine overall. They also struggled to a 2 for 12 night at the free throw line.Baylor: The Bears were playing their second game in as many days and seemed disinterested early against the overmatched Golden Eagles. But they picked up their intensity as the game went on, highlighted by an emphatic roar from Motley after a second-half dunk.POLL IMPLICATIONSBaylor should be secure in its No. 4 spot when the new poll comes out Monday, but could be in jeopardy of falling should No. 6 Kentucky put up an impressive showing on the road against No. 11 Louisville on Wednesday.UP NEXTJohn Brown will take the rest of the month off to gear up for conference play, which begins when it hosts Southwestern Christian on Jan. 5.Baylor will complete its run of three games in five days and its nonconference slate by hosting Texas Southern on Wednesday night.Cheap Kobe Shoes For Sale . -- Vincent Lecavalier got everything but the desired result in his return to Tampa Bay.

The Eagles (3-0) proved they can compete with -- and whip -- the top teams.Now they head into a bye atop the NFC East and suddenly looking like legitimate contenders in the conference.We view every week as a measuring stick, Wentz said. Everyone believes in each other.The rookie No. 2 overall pick threw for 301 yards and two touchdowns, outplaying Ben Roethlisberger. He has zero turnovers in three games.Wentz connected with Darren Sproles on a 73-yard, catch-and-run TD and tossed a 12-yard TD pass to Jordan Matthews.Roethlisberger had 257 yards passing, one interception and no TDs after tossing six in the first two games. The Steelers (2-1) averaged 31 points in the first two games before running into Philadelphias ferocious defense.Some takeaways from the Battle of Pennsylvania:BACKFIELD DEPTH: The 33-year-old Sproles still has plenty left. He caught six passes for 128 yards. Rookie Wendell Smallwood ran for 79 yards and his first career TD. Kenjon Barner had 42 yards rushing and his first score. Meanwhile, Ryan Mathews only carried twice for minus-5 yards.REAL DEAL D: Defensive coordinator Jim Schwartzs defense has been downright stingy. After shutting down Big Ben and the high-powered Steelers, the Eagles have allowed just two defensive TDs in three games. Players say theres room for improvement. Its still early, DE Brandon Graham said. Everybody is still getting acclimated with the system.FIRST GAME JITTERS? Steelers WR Markus Wheaton had a forgettable return to the lineup after missing tthe first two games with a shoulder injury.dddddddddddd He dropped a TD pass on the opening drive that was followed by a blocked field goal . Later, he dropped a catch that stalled a drive in the second quarter. Wheaton seemed dejected afterward, but Roethlisberger encouraged him. Were not going to get down on him, Roethlisberger said. Hes going to get down on himself more than he needs to, though. He knows he should and can make that play, but theres a lot of thumb-pointing going on for us and it starts with me. We win as a team and we lose as a team and that was an offensive, defensive and special teams loss. I challenge all the players and even the coaches to look in the mirror and point the thumb.DRESS REHEARSAL? The Steelers will have one week to figure out what went wrong against the Eagles because theyre going to see a mirror image of this offense next week when they play Kansas City. Eagles coach Doug Pederson played for and coached under Chiefs coach Andy Reid. We fully expect it to be similar next week, DL Cameron Heyward said. We have another test next week to prove we can beat it. We need to look at this film, address our concerns and be ready for Kansas City.CARSONS STATS: Wentz joins Mark Sanchez (2009 with Jets) as the only rookie QBs to start and win their teams first three games of the season since 1970. ...
