Hits clutch free throws in win Carrington registered eight points (2-5 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and four rebounds in 21 minutes during Tuesday's 92-90 OT win over Illinois.

Impact Carrington's emergence, which can be traced back to the start of the new calendar year, has completely changed the complexion of this team. The senior guard is shooting 40.5 percent from the field and 40.4 percent from distance (on 4.3 triples attempted per game), both of which are career-highs. He's had a few big nights, like his 21-point outing at Minnesota on Jan. 13, his personal revenge game, but he's mainly provided a steady presence in the backcourt. In the huge win over Illinois, he hit two crucial free throws in overtime to help ice the game for the Badgers. His stats won't wow you, but make no mistake -- Carrington has been crucial for Wisconsin's strong showing in Big Ten play thus far.

John Blackwell's Game-Winner Lifts Wisconsin Over Minnesota

X-factor in upset Carrington accumulated 12 points (1-4 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 9-12 FT), nine rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal across 27 minutes during Saturday's 91-88 victory over Michigan.

Impact Carrington stepped up in a huge way here, as Austin Rapp (undisclosed) was sidelined and Andrew Rohde found himself in foul trouble, which led to the Badgers needing significantly more run from the senior transfer from Tulsa. Not only did Carrington see more minutes than in any other game this season, but he scored his most points since Nov. 21 and shattered his season-best rebounding total. He was also notably 9-for-12 from the charity stripe after attempting only one free-throw in his previous five games combined. It would be easy to write this production off as fluke circumstances, but Carrington at least showed he can answer the bell when called upon in high-stakes scenarios.

Impact Wisconsin has gotten much of its production from its starting five this season. That checks out, as this could be the strongest top group we've seen in Madison in years. Still, the Badgers need production off the bench, and Carrington is leading that charge, at least in the back court. The Tulsa transfer hit another two triples as Wisconsin moved to 4-0 with a win over SIUE on Monday; Carrington can do a little of everything, and that's huge in helping him stay on the court.
