One glaring strength from Wisconsin's projected starting lineup
Longtime Wisconsin Badgers men's basketball head coach Greg Gard has once again put together a team that should thrive from long range. After adding Miami (OH) wing Eian Elmer , the Badgers' projected starting lineup includes five players who all have tremendous three-point percentages. Currently, Wisconsin is looking at a lineup that includes Owen Foxwell, Trey Autry, Eian Elmer, Austin Rapp, and Nolan Winter.
CBS Sports National College Basketball Writer Isaac Trotter highlighted just how good those five have been from distance. Last year, all five attempted at least three three-pointers per game, with George Washington transfer Autry leading the way at 6. 4 attempts.
Autry's 38% from distance is the second best out of this starting rotation. The only player he trails is Elmer, who shot 43% on 4. 9 attempts a season ago.
Wisconsin's incoming freshman point guard, Foxwell, shot 35% on 3. 8 attempts. Badger fans are no strangers to Rapp or Winter, and it's not like either has been afraid to throw up a three-pointer.
In the 2025-26 season, Rapp shot 36% on 5. 3 attempts per game while Winter was 33% on 3. 1 attempts.
