Yaxel Lendeborg made a tiebreaking 3-pointer with 0.4 seconds remaining, and No. 3 Michigan beat Nick Boyd and No. 23 Wisconsin 68-65 to advance to the Big Ten Tournament champions...MARCH 14 • Associated Press
Nick Boyd - Scores 14, deals five assists Boyd notched 14 points (6-20 FG, 2-7 3Pt), five rebounds, five assists and a season-high five steals across 37 minutes during Saturday's 68-65 loss to Michigan.
Impact Boyd had been on a scoring heater, but he was slowed by the Wolverine defense. He tied the score with 29 second on his second 3-pointer. The Badgers made a spirited run in the Big Ten Tournament and should have earned themselves a good seed on Selection Sunday. Boyd had eight steals in his last two games after no games of more than two thefts previously.

Austin Rapp - Sinks six treys Rapp supplied 18 points (6-11 FG, 6-10 3Pt), six rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal across 29 minutes during Saturday's 68-65 loss to Michigan.
Impact Rapp started the last four games of the season after Nolan Winter (ankle) was injured. The 6-10 sophomore hit 41.9 percent of his 3-pointers and sunk 13 shots from the perimeter. Winter seemed closer to playing on Saturday, but if he is unable to start the NCAA Tournament, Rapp could continue to command big minutes.

Nolan Winter - Ruled out Winter has been ruled out of Saturday's matchup with Michigan, Dylan Burkhardt of UMHoops.com reports.
Impact As expected, Winter will ultimately miss his fourth straight contest as he looks to return to full health ahead of next week's NCAA tournament. Austin Rapp will get another start in Winter's absence.

Nolan Winter - Not warming up Saturday Winter (ankle) is not warming up with Wisconsin ahead of Saturday's matchup with Michigan, Nick Osen of 247Sports.com reports.
Impact While Winter was given a chance to play Saturday in the Big Ten Tournament semi-final, it appears more likely that the center will be held out until the NCAA Tournament next week. Austin Rapp figures to remain in the starting five in Winter's absence.
