Magee sets record, Wofford tops Seton Hall for 1st NCAA win

Myles Powell led Seton Hall back into the game against Wofford with an inspired second-half performance. But the story of the game, the way it has been all season, was the Terriers' 3-point shooting in the win. In addition to clutch 3s late from NCAA record holder Fletcher Magee, Wofford also got big-time 3s from Nathan Hoover down the stretch. Magee had seven 3s, the 15th time in his career he's hit that many in a single game.

Wofford guard Fletcher Magee set the NCAA career 3-point record against Seton Hall. Magee needed three 3-pointers against the Pirates to set the record, and the anticipation in the arena mounted each time he touched the ball. He got his third in the second half to give him 505 for his career, breaking the mark Travis Bader set in 2014 at Oakland.
Andrea Adelson ESPN Staff Writer
Through one half against Seton Hall, it is easy to see how Wofford has won 20 games in a row. The Terriers are playing with confidence and a great rhythm on offense, and the aggressor on defense. It helps to have Fletcher Magee, who tied the NCAA career 3-point mark in the first half. But everyone shot the ball well in the first half - the Terriers made 51 percent of their shots, including 5-of-10 from 3.
Andrea Adelson ESPN Staff Writer
Though it is early, Seton Hall standout Myles Powell has been a non-factor. Rather, Wofford has been the story in the early going thanks to its outside shooting. The Terriers, No. 2 in the nation in 3-point shooting, started off 4-of-7 from behind the arc.
Band of Brothers: How Seton Hall opened doors for international players
The 1988-89 Seton Hall Pirates lost the NCAA Finals by the narrowest of margins and sketchiest of foul calls. But the team's legacy was less about wins and losses and more about the footprint it left upon how international players are recruited.
