  We prove that the degree of a nonconstant morphism from a smooth projective
3-fold $X$ with N\'{e}ron-Severi group ${\bf Z}$ to a smooth 3-dimensional
quadric is bounded in terms of numerical invariants of $X$. In the special case
where $X$ is a 3-dimensional cubic we show that there are no such morphisms.
The main tool in the proof is Miyaoka's bound on the number of double points of
a surface.
