VILLANOVA — Allan Ray sank 3-pointers from the left side and he made 'em from the right.

Randy Foye and Mike Nardi spread their 3s around the arc and Villanova was on target from wherever it shot the ball.

"We want to shoot 3s," coach Jay Wright said. "We have great confidence in Allan and Mike and Randy, especially. Those three are pretty deadly."

They're also in the record book now.

Ray set Villanova's individual 3-point mark with eight and scored 26 points, and the No. 4 Wildcats established a team record with 17 3s in an 84-47 win over the Mountain Hawks on Sunday night.

"My teammates have the confidence in me to shoot and Coach definitely has confidence, so I just kept shooting," said Ray, who went 8-for-16 on 3s.

Ray can shoot the 3 a lot better than he can keep track of them.

"I didn't really think I was in a rhythm," Ray said. "I made one, then missed three. Then I made another one, and missed four."

Lehigh was likely wishing Ray, Foye and Nardi missed that often.

Foye sank five 3s and scored 21 points, Nardi had four 3s and 14 points and Kyle Lowry added 12 points for the Wildcats (2-0). Villanova took more 3s (33) than regular field goals (26) and only went to the free-throw line 12 times.

"Me, Randy and Mike, we'll shoot extra and step beyond the 3-point line," Ray said.

The extra shooting really paid off when Ray matched his own record with his seventh 3-pointer with about 7 minutes left, then pulled up from the right side over Kyle Neptune on the next possession and sank the 17th 3-pointer for an 80-36 lead.

Wright immediately pulled the starting lineup and the sold-out crowd chanted Ray's name in appreciation.

"We wanted them to take long shots, but they have great shooters" said Lehigh coach Billy Taylor.

Playing with their highest ranking since 1996, the Wildcats came out firing and took early aim on the 3-point record. Villanova's previous record was 16 3-pointers, with the last coming against Notre Dame on Jan. 7, 1999. Four players had each made seven 3-pointers, including Ray against Miami on March 2, 2004.

With Curtis Sumpter likely out for the year with a torn ACL, the Wildcats start a four-guard lineup that made shooting from outside the arc look like a layup drill. The guards — Nardi, Ray, Foye and Lowry — are simply too quick to cover man-to-man and they shoot too well to use a zone.

"Some teams play man, some teams play zone, so in practice we just go with everything to be ready for whatever defense we're going to play that night," Foye said.

The Wildcats sure were ready and they turned Wright's 200th career win into a rout early.

Ray and Nardi opened the game with 3-pointers, then Ray and Foye each added another to quickly open a 12-point lead. Foye hit consecutive 3s to make it 25-10 and Lehigh (2-4) simply had no answer.

When the Wildcats went up 30-15 midway through the first half, they had more 3-pointers (seven) than the Mountain Hawks had baskets (six).

Villanova kept taking 3s and made 10 of 18 in the first half — including a nice 4-for-5 effort from Foye — and took a 47-25 halftime lead.

"Sometimes the rim looks like an ocean," Foye said. "My teammates were finding me in the right spots and I was talking the right shots."

Jose Olivero scored 15 points for Lehigh.

At Tucson, Ariz., Chris Rodgers matched his season high with 20 points, scoring 15 in the second half while No. 9 Arizona ran away from Virginia.Hassan Adams and Mustafa Shakur scored 14 each. Adams, who also had nine rebounds, had 12 points during a 29-1 run that began late in the first half and blew open a tight game.Sean Singletary scored a season-high 24 points, but it wasn't enough to help the Cavaliers (2-1) win their first three for a sixth consecutive year.

At East Lansing, Mich., Paul Davis had 30 points and 14 rebounds, and Maurice Ager added 20 points for the sluggish Spartans (3-2), who returned home after playing the equivalent of 41/2 games in five days in Hawaii.Justin Hawkins led the Mastodons (1-3) with 13 points.

At College Park, Md., Chris McCray scored 20 points and No. 23 Maryland opened the second half with a 16-0 run to breeze past Nicholls State.Two days after returning from Hawaii, where they played three games in less than 48 hours at the Maui Invitational, the Terrapins (4-1) endured a sluggish first half before pulling away.Nik Caner-Medley scored 16 points, Ibekwe finished with 15 and D.J. Strawberry had 12 points and a career-high 12 assists in the Terrapins' 23rd straight non-conference home win. Stefan Blaszczynski led Nicholls State (1-4) with 20 points.
