Wofford vs Seton Hall Preview
The Terriers have won 20 straight games, the longest active streak in Division I. After going 9-4 in a tough non-conference schedule, they went 18-0 in Southern Conference play then swept their way to the conference tournament title.
“This is a really good basketball team,” Wofford head coach Mike Young said after beating UNC Greensboro 70-58 in the SoCon Tournament finals, according to the Associated Press. “Don’t give me that mid-major stuff and all that garbage. This is what you see. This is a big, talented team that can score and I cannot wait to play again in that great, great tournament.”
Wofford guard Fletcher Magee was named the conference player of the year for a second straight season. This year he broke Stephen Curry’s SoCon record for career 3-pointers made. At 502 triples in his career, he’s three away from setting a new NCAA record.
Magee, a career 43.8 percent 3-point shooter, is making 4.6 treys per game this season and leads the Terriers at 20.5 points per contest.
“I knew about the one kid because it was on social media that he broke Steph Curry’s 3-point record. He’s one hell of a shooter,” Seton Hall guard Myles Powell said, according to the New York Post. “Anybody that can break Steph’s record, or done anything Steph has done, is one hell of an achievement.”
Powell is an accomplished shooter himself. The junior has hit 103 so far this year, the second-most among Big East players. He hoists from distance 8.6 times per game, connecting 36.3 percent of the time, and leads the Pirates in points (22.9) and steals (2) per game.
“[Magee] reminds me a little bit of Myles,” Seton Hall guard Quincy McKnight said, per the Post. “He comes off down screens really hard and he’s always ready to shoot the ball, no matter where he’s at. For him, I don’t think he sees a bad shot because he’s such a great shooter.”
McKnight, a junior, will likely be tasked with defending Magee. In the semifinals of the Big East Tournament, McKnight hounded conference player of the year Markus Howard to 1-of-15 shooting in an 81-79 win over Marquette. In another matchup two weeks earlier, Howard shot 2-of-11 as the Pirates won 73-64.
“That wasn’t the first time I did that to Markus,” McKnight said, per the Post. “I’ve been doing that all year. … It’s something that I take pride in, having guys who are known as scorers and stopping them, and making them take a whole bunch of tough shots throughout the game, and just having them thinking every time they go to the basket that I’m right there.”
The Pirates went 9-9 in the Big East regular season before reaching the tournament finals, where they fell to Villanova.
