MADISON, Wis. — Just 2 seconds left on the clock with an NCAA Tournament game on the line. Not much time to drive. A shooter must be immune to pressure.
Wisconsin’s Bronson Koenig thrives in that moment.
Among players left in the tourney, few may have the record of success from 3-point range that Koenig has had this season.
According to the Badgers, Koenig is shooting a remarkable 54.8 percent (17 of 31) from behind the arc in the final 5 minutes of games and overtime in 2015-16. That’s 15 percentage points higher than his overall 3-point average for the season.
