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. ...

Cheap Mets Jerseys . -- There were so many positives from the Orlando Magics first victory of the season that it was hard for coach Jacque Vaughn to stop praising his players. MINNEAPOLIS -- The Detroit Tigers slipped back toward the pack in the wild-card race with an ill-timed stretch this month of 10 losses in 13 games.They found the perfect tonic on this trip to Minnesota, using the last-in-the-league Twins as a launching pad for their playoff push.James McCann had a three-run homer among his four hits, Daniel Norris pitched into the seventh inning and the Tigers completed a sweep with an 8-5 victory on Thursday for the Twins seventh straight defeat.Our pitching is solid, especially in the second half, manager Brad Ausmus said, but were built to slug and its nice to see it.The Tigers, who are 10-2 against the Twins this year, stretched their winning streak at Target Field to eight games.We needed this for sure, Norris said. Weve kind of been up and down a little bit, but anytime you win three in a row thats always good.Norris (2-2) struck out five in 6 1/3 innings, allowing six hits without a walk in his longest and strongest start this season. He took a shutout in the sixth, surrendering RBI singles by Robbie Grossman and Eduardo Escobar over his last two innings.It showed me I can go out there and compete without my best stuff and get deep into games, Norris said.Jose Berrios (2-4) finished five innings, but the organizations top pitching prospect gave up six runs on six hits and five walks in his ninth major league start and was optioned to Triple-A Rochester after the game. Tyler Duffey, the starter on Wednesday, was sent down, too.Im surprised. However, I do understand the decision, Berrios said through an interpreter. I do understand they want me to go down there and gain more confidence in what Im doing.His ERA actually dropped four percentage points to an unsightly 9.24.Young players struggling up here, manager Paul Molitor said, it takes its toll.Catcher Juan Centeno made a mound visit three batters into the game after Berrios issued back-to-back walks, and Ian Kinslers two-run double in the second sent the Tigers on their way.McCanns two-out, three-run drive into the flower bed above right-center field pushed the lead to 6-0 in the third inning. Hee missed the cycle by a triple.ddddddddddddt definitely feels good to have another day like this, McCann said, and constantly making hard contact is all Im really looking for.Victor Martinez went 3 for 4 with two RBI for the Tigers, raising his career batting average at Target Field to .370 in 46 games. Hes 16 for 26 there this year and has scored seven runs in six games.Max Keplers two-run double punctuated a three-run eighth for the Twins, giving him 55 RBI to lead AL rookies, but the Twins finished 2-8 at home in August while allowing an average of 7.9 runs per game.Francisco Rodriguez preserved the victory by striking out two in a perfect ninth for his 35th save in 38 opportunities.STREAK STOPPEDJ.D. Martinezs 14-game hitting streak, the longest active run in the league and tied for the longest of his career, ended with a 0-for-5 afternoon. He was the only Tigers starter not to reach base. In 21 games since coming off the disabled list, Martinez is still batting .410 with six home runs.TRAINERS ROOMTigers: With Jose Iglesias expected back on Friday from a DL stint for a strained left hamstring, Ausmus said hell still play Erick Aybar at SS at times.
