MORAGA, Calif. -- Before the game, Scott Cross reminded his UT Arlington players they had a chance to make their mark on program history.He was like, `This would be the biggest win in school history, guard Erick Neal said. That just added fire to it and made us want to play harder.Kevin Hervey scored 15 points and UTA beat a Top 25 team for the first time, shocking previously unblemished No. 12 Saint Marys 65-51 on Thursday night just more than a week after another special and emotional win at Texas.The Mavericks (8-3) had gone 0-28 against ranked opponents dating to their first try in February 1967 after becoming Division I in 1959-60. Then, they pulled off their big upset at McKeon Pavilion, where the Gaels had won eight straight and 23 of 24, and cheers were heard from the visiting locker room.But Saint Marys (6-1) never clicked against the scrappy UTA team while returning from a break for final exams for its first game since a win at Stanford on Nov. 30. The Gaels were held to 31.4 percent from the field and shot 8 of 27 on 3-pointers.I thought we got outplayed. Pretty simple, Saint Marys coach Randy Bennett said. I thought they beat us at every phase.The speedy Neal added 13 points and eight assists in UTAs seventh straight victory.It was definitely an unbelievable game for us, Cross said. Our guys probably played as good of basketball as we could have, especially defensively, because watching them on video I honestly thought it was the best offensive team I think Ive ever seen in my entire life.Jock Landale had a rare poor shooting performance, limited to 14 points on 3 of 10 from the floor and the Gaels had a season-low 11 assists to go with 16 turnovers.Saint Marys trailed 49-30 with 11:50 to play, then used an 11-3 spurt to get back to 52-41. UTA kept answering on both ends with key baskets and rebounds -- such as a contested 3-pointer from the top by Drew Charles with 7:42 remaining.The Mavericks, from the Sun Belt Conference, used quick, crisp passing to create open looks from the perimeter and the paint to outplay the Gaels early. Three times this season -- their lone three previous losses -- squandered double-digit halftime leads in road losses at Minnesota, Florida Gulf Coast and Arkansas.They used those defeats as learning moments that have carried UTA during this run of early season success.Its a humongous deal, Hervey said. Were excited and hopefully we can build on this.Hervey hit his first three shots as UTA jumped to a 21-12 lead midway through the first half and led 36-23 at the break.Saint Marys fell behind 21-12 and 27-15 late in the first half making just 6 of its first 18 shots and 2 of 6 by the typically spot-on Landale.Defensively we werent good, offensively we werent good, Bennett said. Taking care of the ball we were bad. Rebounding we were bad.MOMENT OF SILENCEA moment of silence was held before the national anthem for the victims of the deadly warehouse fire last week in nearby Oakland.BIG PICTUREUTA: UTA held a 36-30 rebounding edge. ... The Mavericks have led at halftime in all of their games. ... UTA followed up a 99-49 victory against Division III UT Dallas by outplaying one of nations top programs in all aspects.Saint Marys: Calvin Hermanson, 21 of 40 from 3-point range coming into the game, went 1 for 7 from beyond the arc. ... Landales shooting percentage dropped from 76 percent to a 70-percent clip (54 for 77).UP NEXTUTA: Off until playing Dec. 16 at Bradley.Saint Marys: Host UC Irvine on Sunday after the Anteaters lost last month in overtime at California.

Greater Western Sydney are destined for a maiden AFL finals berth.Maybe even from finishing in the top four, with some tipping them to clinch the minor premiership.But coach Leon Cameron wont so much as glance past Saturdays meeting with Collingwood, let alone do the maths on the favourable fixtures enticing the Giants towards a potential home final.The competitions youngest club are already third and have a cracking run home featuring just two top-eight rivals in their last eight matches.Those are eighth-placed West Coast, whom the Giants will host at their so far untouchable fortress of Spotless Stadium in round 21, and seventh-placed North Melbourne at Etihad Stadium in round 23.While it makes positive reading for Giants fans, Cameron was loath to label any opponent as less challenging than another.We never talk about whats coming up in two or three weeks, we always talk about whats in front of us, Cameron said.As soon as you start thinking ahead about whether youre travelling, whether you think you might have some easier games - there are never any easier games.Weve got a huge challenge against Collingwood, all we can focus on is that.If wee get the job done we move to our 11th win which moves us closer to where we want to get to.ddddddddddddBut until we get that job done we cant discuss anything else.The AFLs top eight is as tight as ever.Before this round began, six teams including the Giants had 10 wins and 40 points, behind leaders Hawthorn who are clear on 48 points.Septembers finals line-up also appears all but set barring an unlikely challenge from ninth-placed Port Adelaide.The Powers main role now could be in helping to shape the configuration, given theyll play five top-eight sides in their last 10 games, including the Giants in a fortnight.Cameron thrived on the unpredictability of it all.Thats the good thing about this competition at the moment, Cameron said.Port are trying to get into the eight, theyre playing some good footy.And theres eight sides trying to stay in the eight and eight sides trying to get into the top four.I think its just a fabulous year for the competition because its so unknown whats going to happen from game to game.
