Wisconsin basketball made a record 21 three-pointers during its 116-85 victory against Iowa Friday.
Arguably the most dominant shooting display in program history occurred in a need-to-win scenario. To avoid going 0-3 against the Big Ten this season, 11 Badgers scratched the scoresheet from Greg Gard’s group.
Among these eleven, nine players scored at least one three-point basket. Sophomore guard John Blackwell led the way with six makes during his career-high 32-point night, and bench veteran Kamari McGee splashed all four of his attempts to fuel Wisconsin’s bench unit.
The Badgers shot a ridiculous 67.7% from deep during the game on 31 attempts. While it’s unlikely to happen again this season, the volume, efficiency and uncontested nature of shot attempts are things fans should hold on to.
After trailing 28-22 early, Wisconsin outscored the Hawkeyes 94-57 for the remaining 28:51 minutes of action. That streak included 19 three-point attempts from nine players.
