- Gard became the 52nd coach in history to win 50 Big Ten games.
- His .610 win percentage in conference play ranks No. 8 among Big Ten coaches with 50 wins over the last 40 years.
- The Badgers improved to 17-14 all-time vs. Nebraska, including a mark of 11-4 since the Huskers joined the Big Ten in 2011.
- UW connected on a school-record 18 3-pointers, by eight different players.
- Those players were, in order of threes made: Brevin Pritzl, Brad Davison, D’Mitrik Trice, Micah Potter, Aleem Ford, Tyler Wahl, Nate Reuvers and Trevor Anderson.
- The Badgers’ 18 3-pointers are the most by a Big Ten team since Iowa connected on 19 against Savannah State on Dec. 22, 2018.

Trice also matched his career high with three steals.
