3 Things that Stood Out From Wisconsin Men's Basketball's Thrilling Ranked Win at Purdue

Wisconsin made 18 three-pointers, a school road record, to upset No. 15 Purdue 97-93 and secure at least the No. 5 seed in the Big Ten Tournament.

  • On Saturday at Mackey Arena, Wisconsin Badgers men's basketball team upset No.15 Purdue, making a program road-record 18 three-pointers from 34 attempts.
  • With Winter sidelined, Wisconsin shifted to a perimeter-heavy plan, attempting only four two-pointers and relying on three-point shooting from all five positions.
  • John Blackwell led Wisconsin with 25 points, including five 3-pointers, while Nick Boyd scored 23 points, pouring in 11 of the final 13 and adding five rebounds and five assists.
  • The win moved Wisconsin to a 22-9 record and clinched at least the No.5 seed for the Big Ten Tournament, as the team now awaits Chicago pairings.
  • Purdue's loss was unusually rare, marking the first time in nearly 14,000 days and 135 games the Boilermakers topped 90 and still lost, bolstering Wisconsin's résumé and momentum.
