How It Works
Wisconsin Badgers vs Purdue Boilermakers — March 7, 2026
97–93
About This Game
Wisconsin's visit to Mackey Arena became a masterclass in long-range execution, as the Badgers drilled 18 three-pointers—a school road-game record—to steal a 97-93 victory from No. 15 Purdue. The Boilermakers surged early with a dominant 13-point lead, but Wisconsin's relentless three-point assault rendered that advantage meaningless. While Purdue made more traditional field goals (23 to Wisconsin's 11) and owned the boards (40 rebounds to 24), the Badgers' precision from beyond the arc proved decisive. Those 18 three-pointers alone accounted for 54 points—more than half of Wisconsin's total output.
The offensive showcase was particularly potent in the first half, when Wisconsin connected on 12 threes before halftime. When Purdue mounted a second-half comeback to take a 62-61 lead, the Badgers responded instantly with back-to-back three-pointers to seize control. The Boilermakers' 38 missed shots—nearly half their attempts—underscored their efficiency struggles, while Wisconsin's surgical accuracy created an irresistible offense. This wasn't a defensive battle; it was a display of elite shooting execution overcoming all obstacles.
Every three-pointer, drive, and cut is now preserved as a Gameprint—custom wall art capturing this historic shooting performance in vivid, play-by-play detail.
