Austin Rapp - College Basketball News & Rumors

Ice cold off the bench Rapp closed Wednesday's 90-60 loss to Nebraska with seven points (3-10 FG, 1-6 3Pt), three rebounds and one assist in 24 minutes.

Impact Rapp was Wisconsin's leading scorer off the bench, and considering he shot just 30 percent from the field and was 1-of-6 from downtown, it's easier to fathom how the Badgers lost by 30. Nebraska's defense swarmed Wisconsin all night, and Rapp was no exception. In the last three games he's come off the bench, Rapp averages 9.0 points, 3.0 rebounds and 2.3 assists.

John Blackwell scores 26, Nick Boyd 20, and Wisconsin tops Northwestern 85-73 in Big Ten opener

Not starting vs. Wildcats Rapp is out of Wisconsin's starting five against Northwestern, per Jed Katz of On3.com.

Impact Rapp has been inconsistent to start the 2025-26 campaign with the Badgers, and Wisconsin will send him to the bench against Northwestern in favor of fellow big Alexis Bieliauskas, who will get the start in his stead. This could be a purely matchup-related decision as Northwestern looks to stress the Badgers down low.

Inconsistent start with Badgers Rapp recorded two points (1-6 FG, 0-3 3Pt), five rebounds and one assist in 22 minutes during Friday's 74-63 loss to TCU.

Impact Rapp put up a season-best 20 points in the Rady Children's Invitational opener against Providence on Thursday, but he was completely held in check by the TCU defense the following day. In addition to struggling from the field, he committed a season-high three turnovers for a collective frontcourt that simply couldn't get it going offensively. Rapp's game log has been wildly consistent so far this season, with his worst scoring showings coming against the best competition the Badgers have faced.

Contributes in several facets Rapp ended with 11 points (4-10 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds, three assists, three blocks and one steal in 25 minutes during Tuesday's 86-55 victory over Ball State.

Impact Rapp didn't have the biggest day against Ball State, as his front court mate Nolan Winter once again stole the headlines with a double-double. Still, the sophomore has done a great job doing what's asked of him. It's surprising to see the 6-foot-10 Portland transfer not pull down more rebounds -- he has 10 across three games -- but with his passing and other work on the glass in the form of blocks, he's been active for the Badgers.

Three-ball on display Rapp had 17 points (6-11 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds and three assists across 33 minutes in Friday's 84-83 exhibition loss to Oklahoma.

Impact Wisconsin has always been ahead of its time in terms of recruiting big men who can shoot the three-pointer, and Rapp appears to be an extension of that tradition. The 6-10 power forward and reigning WCC Freshman of the Year appears to have immediately gained a starting role with the Badgers, in addition to serving as an instant offensive contributor. He was second on the team in minutes played in this exhibition and third in overall scoring, plus was the only starter to cash multiple three-pointers. With the Badger offense seemingly picking up its tempo -- if 2024-25 is any indicator of a trend -- Wisconsin could be home to multiple valuable nationwide assets in the upcoming campaign, with Rapp being one.
