LOS ANGELES -- Alec Martinez has scored slightly bigger overtime goals than this one for the Los Angeles Kings at Staples Center.The defenseman still realizes the journey to Stanley Cup glory starts with doing the right things in October.Martinez scored 1:14 into extra time, and the Kings rallied to beat the Columbus Blue Jackets 3-2 Tuesday night for their third straight victory.After Drew Doughty scored the tying goal with 5:57 left in regulation, Martinez ended it by putting a rebound of Tanner Pearsons shot into an open net.Pearson had a good shot, Martinez said. I dont know if it hit armpit or some far pad, but it was just lying there. I was able to put it in, but again, those guys did the work. I just picked up scraps.The goal was the second overtime score in three games by Martinez, who also beat Dallas last Thursday with his only other goal this season. He entered Kings history when he ended the 2014 Stanley Cup Final with an overtime goal past Henrik Lundqvist to clinch Los Angeles second championship.Captain Anze Kopitar also scored for the Kings, who won their third straight overtime game after an 0-3-0 start to the season.I think were finally playing in a rhythm, Martinez said. The first few games, with every game, we got better in certain areas. We were just out of sync, and I think that were finally playing more of a north-south game.Third-string goalie Peter Budaj stopped 19 shots in his third consecutive win for Los Angeles, remaining unbeaten since taking over for injured Jonathan Quick and Jeff Zatkoff.Cam Atkinson scored a tiebreaking power-play goal late in the second period, and Sergei Bobrovsky made 27 saves for the Jackets, who had won two straight after an 0-2-0 start. Brandon Saad also scored for Columbus, which got a taste of hard-hitting hockey in the opener of its California road swing.We didnt generate enough (scoring chances), Columbus coach John Tortorella said. Give them credit. Thats the way they play. They dont give up much, and its about who blinks first. We were playing OK, but I just dont think we sustained enough of a forecheck to keep them from gaining some momentum.After a scoreless first period largely controlled by Los Angeles, Saad put the Blue Jackets ahead with a close-range wrist shot off an odd-man rush. Saad, a well-known streaky scorer, managed just one assist in Columbus first four games.We knew they were a patient team, and they take advantage of their opportunities, Saad said. We try to play a tight checking game for a full 60. For the most part, we did a good job.Kopitar tied it with his second goal of his first season as the Kings captain, cycling the puck behind the net and executing a slick give-and-go with new defenseman Tom Gilbert.Atkinson put the Jackets ahead again 71 seconds later, connecting for Columbus fifth power-play goal in five games on tic-tac-toe passing from Sam Gagner and Alexander Wennberg.Doughty finally evened it with a sharp-angled shot that trickled through Bobrovsky for his second goal of the season. Bobrovsky, who earned his franchise-record 100th victory with a shutout of Dallas last Saturday, probably should have stopped it.No matter what situation were in as a team, were always going to be a confident group, said Kings forward Nick Shore, who set up Doughtys goal. Whether were up or down, were going to stick to the plan. Battling back was big for us tonight.Game notes Jack Campbell was the Kings backup goalie again with their top two netminders sidelined by groin injuries. Zatkoff is expected to be out for at least a week, while Quick probably wont be back until January. ... Kings F Teddy Purcell was a healthy scratch for the third straight game by coach Darryl Sutter. Purcell was the closest thing to an impact free-agent acquisition this season by the capped-out franchise. ... Kopitars goal was his 245th, moving him within one of tying Wayne Gretzky for sixth place in Kings history.UP NEXTBlue Jackets: The road trip continues Thursday in San Jose and Friday in Anaheim.Kings: Theyll host Nashville on Thursday.

WACO, Texas -- Baylor coach Scott Drew certainly gets why the Bears were overlooked going into this season.On paper with us losing our senior point guard, a lottery pick, the schools all-time leading rebounder, with us having only one senior this year, you understand why people werent voting for us in the Top 25, Drew said.The Bears (8-0) are getting plenty of votes now after an impressive start with three wins over top 10 teams, propelling them from not a single vote less than a month ago to their highest AP ranking in six seasons.The fact that weve been able to win these games against quality teams has given us the recognition and attention that the players have earned, Drew said.Initially, it was easy to discount the Bears 66-49 win over then-No. 4 Oregon the first week of the season since the Ducks were playing without injured preseason All-America forward Dillon Brooks. But the next week, after getting into the poll at 20th, the Bears won the Battle 4 Atlantis tournament in Bahamas with come-from-behind wins over No. 24 Michigan State and No. 10 Louisville. After Hall of Fame coach Rick Pitinos Cardinals jumped out to a 25-5 lead in the title game, and still led by 18 at the half, Baylor rallied to win 66-63.And then last weekend as the No. 9 team, former Miami transfer guard Manu Lecomte scored 24 points and the Bears rallied in the second half to beat then-No. 7 Xavier 76-61 at home. It was the first time Baylor has ever won a matchup of top-10 teams.Rankings dont matter, said junior forward Johnathan Motley, their leading scorer and rebounder (16.3 points, 8.1 rebounds per game). Were just going to step between those lines and handle business.The Bears, with three wins over top 10 teams in the same season for the first time ever, are in an extended break during final exams before playing at home Wednesday against Southern. They will be overwhelming favorites for all four games remaining before their Big 12 opener Dec. 30 at Oklahoma. That inclludes a game at Fort Hood, the second year in a row playing for soldiers at one of the nations largest Army posts only about an hour from their campus.ddddddddddddAfter their third consecutive NCAA Tournament appearance last season, the Bears lost three seniors -- Taurean Prince, the 12th overall pick in the NBA draft; Rico Gathers, the career rebounding leader now trying to become an NFL tight end on the Dallas Cowboys practice squad; and two-year starting guard Lester Medford.Lecomte, who was born in Belgium, practiced with the Bears and ran with the scout team last season. He is now averaging 13.9 points a game, with 42 assists and only 17 turnovers.Normally during a sit-out year, a transfer year, players tend to look really good. Thats because they have no pressure, they get to run scout team, they get to get all the shots, coaches arent yelling at them, Drew said. So we always temper expectations and thoughts on those players until they show it in games, and Manus definitely proving what we saw in practice was reality.Jo Lual-Acuil, a 7-footer who also sat out last season after transferring from a junior college, is averaging 9.4 points and 7.8 rebounds for Baylor. Nuni Omot, a 6-9 junior college transfer, could make his Baylor debut during the Christmas break after being academically ineligible during the fall semester.Lecomte insisted that he didnt hear the We want Kansas! chants from the home fans during the closing minutes of the victory over Xavier. Baylor doesnt play the third-ranked Jayhawks until February.We know what you did doesnt define what youre going to do, Drew said. We know its a race to improve each and every day, and be at the best at the end of the season. Hopefully were staying humble and were staying hungry.---More AP college basketball: www.collegebasketball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25 ' ' '
