Freshman guard Marcus Zegarowski scored 20 points and his six 3-pointer gave Creighton a school-record 22 from behind the arc as the Bluejays rolled to an easy 110-60 victory over Division III Coe College on Thursday night in Omaha, Neb.
Zegarowski drained the record-setting 3-pointer with 31 seconds left. The 22 3-pointers also set a new Big East record as well as breaking the school mark of 21 set against Villanova on Jan. 20, 2014.
Senior guard Connor Cashaw hit the tying 3-pointer with 2:51 left. The Bluejays (8-4) attempted 37 shots from long range and shot 64.6 percent overall.

The Bluejays held a commanding 46-14 rebounding edge.
