UTA beats Top 25 team for first time in program history
MORAGA, Calif. (AP) Kevin Hervey scored 15 points and UTA beat a Top 25 team for the first time in program history, shocking previously unblemished No. 12 Saint Marys 65-51 on Thursday night.
The Mavericks (8-3) had gone 0-28 against ranked opponents dating to their first try in February 1967 before their big upset at McKeon Pavilion, where the Gaels had won eight straight and 23 of 24.
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.
