Saint Marys plays all five of its remaining non-conference games at home against unranked foes, starting with Thursdays game against Texas-Arlington, and that gives the No. 12 Gaels (6-0) a chance to enter West Coast Conference play unbeaten.However, the Mavericks (7-3) pose a significant threat. They were picked to win the Sun Belt Conference title in the preseason poll, and won six games in a row, including an 11-point victory over Texas on the Longhorns home court Nov. 29.Very, very proud of our guys, Arlington coach Scott Cross said after the win over Texas. We finally put it all together for two halves. Weve been through a lot of adversity early on in the season when we werent playing the way we were capable of. Our guys figured it out that we have to play together and that we have to be great on the boards. We have to take good shots. We have to have player and ball movement. They did those things tonight.Arlington is led by a trio of players -- guard Jalen Jones, who leads the team in scoring at 13.8 points and has made 46.7 percent of his 3-pointers; forward Kevin Hervey, the preseason Sun Belt Conference player of the year who is averaging 13.4 points and a team-leading 6.2 rebounds, and guard Erick Neal, who is scoring 9.3 points per game while handing out 6.8 assists per contest.Neal had 15 points, 13 assists and zero turnovers in Arlingtons 99-49 victory over Division III Texas-Dallas on Monday.It is safe to say that Erick Neal was the best point guard in the country tonight, Cross said. To have 13 assists with no turnovers and add in 15 points on just nine shots to go with five steals is a very efficient performance.Obviously, Saint Marys will be a step up in class from UT-Dallas.The Gaels have succeeded with teamwork, sound fundamentals and outstanding outside shooting. They are second nationally in assist-to-turnover ratio (2.22) and third in field-goal percentage (53.2), and the Gaels gave Stanford a glimpse of their efficiency when they collected 21 assists on 27 made field goals in a 66-51 victory at Stanford on Nov. 30.Its every coachs dream to have that many shooters and that many great passers on the floor at the same time, Stanford coach Jerod Haase said after the game. Its hard to guard it all.Jock Landale, the Gaels 6-foot-11 center, leads the team in scoring (19.7 points per game), shooting percentage (76.1) and rebounding (9.0), but the star against Stanford was Calvin Hermanson, who scored a career-high 25 points while hitting 7 of 9 from 3-point range. Hermanson also did an outstanding defensive job on Stanfords Dorian Pickens, who was limited to two points.Both Gaels starting guards were all-conference selections last season and are among the nations leaders in assists this year. Emmett Naar is averaging 7.7 assists after collecting eight against Stanford, and Joe Rahon averages 6.2 assists and had six assists against the Cardinal.The fast start prompted coach Randy Bennett to admit that this might be his best team in his 16 seasons at Saint Marys.Its up there. Well see, he said. Potentially, yeah. Potentially we could be.Aiding the Gaels is the fact that forward Dane Pineau, whose back problems caused him to miss one game and play sparingly in three others, seems to be back at full strength. He started the second half of the game against Stanford, and may be in the starting lineup for the first time this season against Arlington.

CLEVELAND -- J.R. Smith can being launching away for the Cavaliers.After sitting out most of training camp, the free agent shooting guard re-signed Saturday with the defending NBA champions, who now have all their starting pieces in place to begin defending their title.Smith made a franchise record 204 3-pointers last season and was a major contributor during the Cavs run to the first championship by a Cleveland team since 1964. His agents were in a stalemate with the Cavs for weeks, unable to come to terms on a deal to keep him in Cleveland.But the sides were able to come to terms Friday on a four-year, $57 million contract, a person with direct knowledge of the negotiations told the Associated Press on Friday night. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the teams policy is not to divulge contract terms.Smiths deal guarantees him more than $45 million in the first three years of the deal, the $15 million per season he was looking for when negotiations opened this summer. If he stays four seasons, he will get $57 million.Bringing J.R. back as part of our core group was a priority for us, Cavs general manager David Griffin said. Hes a special part of this family and we are very pleased to have reached an agreement that we all can feel good about.dddddddddddd We know he cant wait to get back on the court with his brothers and we are certain that everyone in this organization and city feels the same way.Smith is expected to practice Sunday and he could play in the preseason finale Tuesday night in Columbus against Washington. The Cavs open the regular season on Oct. 25 against New York.The 31-year-old Smith has become not only a valuable player, but one of the most popular among Clevelands fan base. The tattooed-adorned Smith, nicknamed Swish by his teammates and fans, was a huge hit when he rode shirtless in the teams championship parade last June. Smith has also been a regular at Indians games in the past month.He averaged 12.4 points and shot 40 percent on 3-pointers in 77 games regular-season games. At 6-foot-6, he was also one of the teams best defenders, able to handle smaller guards on the perimeter.When the Cavs came back to beat Golden State 3-1 in the NBA Finals, Smith made two critical 3-pointers in the opening minutes of the second half in Game 7 to spark Clevelands rally.
