2 DAYS AGO • Associated Press

Double-double in homecoming Winter totaled 12 points (6-12 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 0-2 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists and one block across 39 minutes during Tuesday's 78-75 win over Minnesota.

Impact Winter, a Minnesota native, nearly blew it for the Badgers when he missed two critical free throws at the end of the second half that would've put Wisconsin up by multiple possessions. The Gophers proceeded to hit the game-tying three, only for Winter to get bailed out by Wisconsin's star guard John Blackwell draining the game-winning three. Still, it was a productive outing for the center, who notched his eighth double-double of the season and shot 50 percent from the field. Those missed free throws also look like an anomaly -- he's shooting a career-best 77.6 percent from the charity stripe this season.

In starting five Tuesday Winter (ankle) will get the start Tuesday against UW-Milwaukee.

Impact Winter was listed as questionable on the pre-game injury report, and then spotted warming up in uniform albeit looking slightly hobbled. Still, the Badgers' starting center will be good to go for the final non-conference game on Wisconsin's schedule. Winter is enjoying a career year, averaging 14.1 points and 9.4 rebounds.

Dressed for warmups but looks iffy Winter (ankle) is dressed for warmups ahead of the Tuesday night clash wit UW-Milwaukee, but he appears to be limited movement wise, per Evan Flood of 247Sports.com.

Impact Flood described Winter as hobbling, and that's definitely not the best sign for his availability as he looks to avoid missing his first game of the season. This is Wisconsin's final buy game, so the Badgers could potentially afford be extra cautious with Winter ahead of the start of Big Ten play. Still, he's in uniform, meaning at the very least he looks primed to give it a go in warmups.

Deemed questionable Winter (ankle) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against Wisconsin-Milwaukee.

Impact Winter tweaked his right ankle late in Wisconsin's most recent game, and despite being spotted walking around after sustaining the injury, he may be held out of Tuesday's contest. The junior center has taken a leap this season, averaging 14.1 points, 9.4 rebounds and 1.2 blocks per game while shooting 59.4 percent from the field. If he can't play, Austin Rapp would likely join the starting lineup, while Will Garlock would see more playing time off the bench.

Liability defensively in loss Winter supplied 10 points (5-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt), six rebounds, one assist and one steal in 28 minutes during Wednesday's 90-60 loss to Nebraska.

Impact Winter's stat-line doesn't look all that bad, but he had a rough go of it in the paint against Nebraska's bigs, particularly Rienk Mast, and particularly on the defensive end of the floor. What's more, Winter's three-point stroke has been alarmingly bad this season. After he canned 35.8 percent of his threes as a sophomore, he's shooting at a clip of just 16.7 percent from downtown, and he's made exactly one three-pointer since Nov. 11.
