Five Badgers score in double-digits to lead UW to third exhibition victory
MADISON, WIS. - The Wisconsin men's basketball team beat Oklahoma State, 82-65, on Tuesday night at the Kohl Center in its final exhibition of the 2026-27 campaign.
Owen Foxwell led the way with 19 points, including 16 in the first half, to go along with 3 assists and 3 rebounds. It marks the second-straight game that the Melbourne, Australia, native has paced UW in scoring.
Eian Elmer added 11 points with three triples from beyond the arc. He also had 3 steals. Nolan Winter also had another strong performance with 10 points and 4 rebounds in 29 minutes.
The Badger bench was strong once again, as Braeden Carrington had 10 points and 2 steals. Austin Rapp also played a key role with 10 points and 5 rebounds. The bench had 39 of the Badgers 82 points.
Bucky was firing on all cylinders from deep tonight. The Badgers had 18 made three-pointers and shot 43.9% from deep. Eight Badgers made at least one triple tonight including Trey Autry and Zach Kinziger, who each hit two off the bench.
Wisconsin took the lead with a 11-0 run early in the first half and extended all the way up to 19 in the second half. The Badger defense held the Cowboys to 40% shooting overall from the field. Oklahoma State also only shot 20.8 % from beyond the arc.
The Badgers had 17 assists to the Cowboys 9 while also forcing 7 more turnovers than Oklahoma State did.
Straight from the Court:
UW Head Coach Greg Gard
On the overall game:
"Another step in the right direction. I think we've improved all three games here, and now they start for real."
Eian Elmer
On the victory:
"I think we did a great job locking in on personnel, and you know, we just played good team defense. We got them to shoot the shots that we wanted, make the passes that we wanted. It paid off."
Owen Foxwell
On fitting in at Wisconsin:
"I wanted to be a part of a team that, you know, I can fit in well and find guys and I think it's working at the moment"
