Eden Prairie's Ethan Wragge dropped 9 three-pointers on Villanova

Good times

January 21, 2014 at 9:03PM

It's safe to say that Ethan Wragge, who played in high school at Eden Prairie before heading off to Creighton for his college ball, is a three-point shooting specialist.

He has attempted exactly six shots this season that were NOT three-pointers. In his career, he has tried more than 700 shots ... and just 54 were two-pointers.

But there is something to be said for someone who knows his role -- and who plays that role well. On Monday night, Wragge was scorching-hot for Creighton in a 96-68 victory at No. 4 Villanova. He was 9 of 14 from three-point range for 27 points in the blowout win. As a team, Creighton made an unconscious 21 three-pointers.

That's quite a weapon.
