Wofford’s Fletcher Magee Broke The NCAA Career Three-Point Record Against Seton Hall

While his team had a big-picture goal to make a deep run in the 2019 NCAA Tournament, there was a specific reason to pay close attention to Wofford senior guard Fletcher Magee on Thursday evening during the team’s opening round matchup against Seton Hall. The 6’4 sharp-shooter entered the night needing only two three-point field goals to tie the all-time NCAA record, held by former Oakland guard Travis Bader, with 504 career connections from long range.

In short order, Magee did just that on an impressive four-point play.

Later in the evening, Magee went on to break the record and, even if that looked to be a likely outcome at the beginning of the night, it was still an historic moment. Magee let it fly on the first possession of the second half and drilled as pure of a shot as you’ll ever see.

Magee is, quite obviously, an elite-level college three-point shooter and he has often drawn comparisons to Stephen Curry’s time at Davidson for his range and the degree of difficulty required to even attempt some of his offerings from beyond the arc. In fact, Magee passed both Curry and J.J. Redick during his senior season on the way to the record and, even if he isn’t likely to achieve all kinds of NBA success, the 22-year-old from Orlando now sits atop a list that includes a number of basketball luminaries.
