Villanova is 19-1 for the first time in school history.
“Awesome,” coach Jay Wright said.
Maybe reaching its first Final Four in 24 years last season was only a starting point for Wright’s talented team.
Scottie Reynolds and Corey Fisher each scored 17 points to help No. 3 Villanova beat Notre Dame 90-72 on Wednesday night.
The Wildcats are 19-1 for the first time and are the only Big East team unbeaten in conference play (8-0). Led by Reynolds, Fisher, Antonio Pena and Co., Villanova has won 10 straight games and is in the mix for the top spot next week in The Associated Press poll.
“We’ll spend a lot of time after the season talking about this,” Wright said.

The good feelings surrounding Villanova as the Wildcats prepare to open their season took a hit yesterday after a report that suggests freshman center Mouphtaou Yarou may be six years older than the age of 19 listed on the university’s basketball Web site.
The report in Sporting News Today cited an item on the Web site for FIBA – the international governing body for basketball – that listed “Mouphtaou Monra Yarou” on the roster for Renaissance BBC in the 2007 FIBA Africa Cup, listing his age as 23 and his hometown as Matitingou.
If that Yarou really is Villanova’s highly regarded 6-foot-10 freshman center, that would make his age 25, and could exhaust most or all of his eligibility for the Wildcats.
The Villanova basketball Web site listed Yarou’s age as 19 – born June 26, 1990 – and his hometown as Natitingou, starting with an N and not an M, in Benin, West Africa.
