Saint Joseph's

PHILADELPHIA -- Saint Joseph's fans love to chant, "The Hawk Will Never Die."

Someone check for a pulse.

The bird needed some serious CPR.

Villanova turned the Hawks into birds of pray -- as in, please, Lord, make the Wildcats miss -- with a school-record 19 3-pointers in a 94-53 win on Saturday night.

The fourth-ranked Wildcats (8-0) hit 10 straight 3s to bust the game open and again shine as the dominant class of the city.

"I didn't notice 10," coach Jay Wright said, "but I knew we were making shots."

The Wildcats made 19 of 35 3s; the Hawks had just 21 baskets in the game.
