Snags nine boards Bieliauskas produced five points (1-6 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-4 FT), nine rebounds and a season-high three assists over 23 minutes during Wednesday's 85-71 loss to Oregon.

Impact The 6-10 freshman had his second-best rebounding game of hte season. His 23 minutes were his most since Jan. 31 when he played 26 minutes in a win over Ohio State. Bieliaskas has only hit one his last nine 3-point attempts over four games. The Badgers continue their tour of the Pacific Northwest with a game at Washington on Saturday.

Two threes help UW knock off Illini Bieliauskas racked up seven points (2-4 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT) and four rebounds in 21 minutes during Tuesday's 92-90 OT win over Illinois.

Impact Bieliauskas' final line won't raise any eyebrows, but his two triples were absolutely enormous in helping the Badgers keep pace with Illinois' top-ranked offense in the country. Wisconsin wound up hitting 16-of-36 shots from distance (44 percent), which was crucial because the Illini shot 45 percent from deep as well as 53 percent from the field. This was a good bounce-back outing for Bieliauskas after he was blanked in the Badgers' prior game, a loss to Indiana.

Upgraded to available Bieliauskas (ankle) is available for Saturday's game against Ohio State.

Impact The freshman forward was spotted in practice Thursday, so it's not surprising to see him upgraded to available in this matchup. Expect the 6-foot-10 big man to remain in the starting lineup, but his fantasy production isn't notable. He's averaging 4.9 points and 3.8 boards per game in such a role (14 starts).

Practices Thursday Bieliauskas (ankle) practiced Thursday after he was spotted in a boot following the first half of Wisconsin's 67-63 win over Minnesota, per Zach Heilprin of The Zone Madison.

Impact Bieliauskas exited Wisconsin's win over the Gophers early in the first half, and was spotted donning a boot on the bench in the second half, not returning to the game. However, the Lithuanian freshman practiced the next day, which is a good sign for his availability on Jan. 31 against Ohio State. Bieliauskas averages 4.3 points and 4.0 rebounds.

Spotted in boot Bielauskas (ankle) was seen wearing a boot on Wisconsin's bench during the second half of Wednesday's game against Minnesota, Cameron Wilhorn of SI.com reports.

Impact Bielauskas, who exited Wednesday's game with an ankle injury in the early portion of the first half, will not return to the contest. The 6-foot-10 freshman's status remains in question for Saturday's game against Ohio State.

JANUARY 28 • ROTOWIRE

Exits game Wednesday Bielauskas (ankle) exited Wednesday's game against Minnesota with an apparent ankle injury, Cameron Wilhorn of SI.com reports.

Impact Bielauskas left in the early portions of the first half with an apparent ankle injury, briefly entering the locker room. The 6-foot-10 freshman returned to the bench before halftime, stretching out, but he has yet to re-enter the game for the Badgers.

JANUARY 28 • ROTOWIRE

Another silent offensive game Bieliauskas posted one point (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds and one steal across 18 minutes during Sunday's 73-71 loss to USC.

Impact Bieliauskas remained an offensive non-factor for Wisconsin as the Badgers dropped a tough one at home to USC. The starting forward isn't a main component of Wisconsin's offense, but he hasn't really looked to score since his 17-point outburst in the huge road upset of Michigan, averaging just 3.8 shots per game since then. Bieliauskas is likely best avoided from a fantasy perspective at this point.

No. 2 Michigan HC Dusty May 'Disappointed' After Stunning 1st Loss vs. Wisconsin

Nearly non-existent vs. Bruins Bieliauskas finished with two points (1-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt) and one rebound across 16 minutes during Tuesday's 80-72 victory over UCLA.

Impact Bieliauskas has now done next to nothing in two straight starts, notching two points and two rebounds against Purdue, and somehow doing less than that as Wisconsin toppled UCLA. The freshman center simply hasn't been that assertive in any area on the court, and that's led to a lack of production.

Quiet in first start Bieliauskas produced six points (2-5 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT) and three rebounds in 20 minutes during Wednesday's 85-73 win over Northwestern.

Impact Bieliauskas got the start in place of Austin Rapp, and had a rather quiet evening. Still, the Lithuanian forward scored his first points in three games, notably hitting a three for the first time in his last seven attempts from beyond the arc. It remains to be seen if he'll hold down this starting role, but Bieliauskas didn't offer much in his first start in Madison.

DECEMBER 4, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Top big man off the bench Bieliauskas logged eight points (4-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 15 minutes during Monday's 94-69 win over SIUE.

Impact Bieliauskas has consistently been the Badgers' go-to big man off the bench through four games this season. Freshman Will Garlock is also getting some run, but the Lithuanian forward's experience overseas has helped him settle in a little quicker at the college level. He's been efficient from the floor, shooting 66.7 percent, and averages 4.0 rebounds. Bieliauskas looks like a small but critical pice of this Wisconsin squad at the moment.
