Badgers Sink Purdue with Record 18 Threes

The Wisconsin Badgers secured a significant 97-93 road victory against No. 15 Purdue, highlighted by a school-record 18 three-pointers made. John Blackwell led the offensive charge with 25 points, including five crucial threes, complemented by Nick Boyd's 23 points. This exceptional shooting performance, with 18 successful attempts from beyond the arc on 34 tries, also tied the second-highest single-game total in school history.

Purdue, playing their home finales for several key players, couldn't overcome the Badgers' barrage. This marked a rare occasion where Purdue lost a game despite scoring over 90 points, a feat not seen since November 24, 1987. Despite early leads by Purdue, Wisconsin consistently answered with three-pointers, reclaiming the lead and maintaining control through the game's decisive moments.
