Record setting three point shooting carried Creighton to a Big East upset Monday.

Ethan Wragge tied a school record with nine 3-pointers for all 27 points, Doug McDermott hit five 3s and scored 23 points, and Creighton set a team mark with 21 3-pointers in a 96-68 victory over No. 4 Villanova on Monday night.

The Bluejays (16-3, 6-1 Big East) topped the school record of 20 3s set in 2005 against Chattanooga. Kyle Korver hit nine 3s against Evansville on Jan. 15, 2003. The Bluejays set a Big East record for most 3s in a game.

They hit their first nine 3s and never looked back against Villanova (16-2, 5-1) which had romped its way toward its highest ranking in four years. They made 21 of 35 3-pointers and led by as many 40 points.

Wragge hit eight 3s in the first half and Creighton built a 28-point lead.

Wragge tied Korver’s record with his ninth 3-pointer with 13:59 left for a 68-45 lead. McDermott followed with his third 3 and Austin Chatman hit one the next time down for the stunning 29-point lead. Creighton’s first win this season against a ranked team was a mere formality.

The Bluejays refused to slow down from 3-point range, with McDermott’s fourth 3 extending the lead to 30 and making them 19 for 31.

Oh, and Creighton had 19 3s at the same time Villanova had 16 total field goals.

McDermott, the two-time All-America, tied Creighton’s team record with 20 3s not long after, sending the crowd at the home of the NBA’s Philadelphia 76ers headed to the exits.

Jahenns Manigat hit Creighton’s record 21st 3-pointer to make it 88-50 with 7:33 left.

Somehow, this was the same Creighton team that never led in an 81-68 loss at Providence on Saturday. The Bluejays made only four 3s in the loss.

The Wildcats played with their highest ranking since they were No. 3 on Feb. 15, 2010. They are not going to stay No. 4 for long.
