When Temple upended Villanova earlier this season, it ended the Wildcats' 16-game winning streak at The Pavilion against City 6 teams.
Villanova, which dropped its first three games to city teams (and four of the first five) after the building opened in 1986, is now 35-11 there all-time against its closest rivals, 26-4 since 1995.
Tuesday night, Saint Joseph's takes its three-game Pavilion losing streak to the main line. The last Hawks team to win there was the undefeated club that would go on to within a whisker of the Final 4 in 2004.
Here is Villanova's record against the other city schools at The Pavilion:
