Austin Rapp - Finds shooting stroke again Rapp recorded 19 points (7-10 FG, 5-7 3Pt) and six rebounds over 20 minutes during Saturday's 92-82 victory over Ohio State.

Impact Rapp has been hit-or-miss as a reserve forward option for the Badgers this season, as his final output often depends on whether or not his first three-point basket falls. He found his shooting stroke in the first half Saturday and didn't look back, scoring his most points in a game since a Nov. 27 loss to Providence. On the year, Rapp has found the Big Ten scheduling far tougher than the WCC slate he saw last season that ended up with him winning conference Freshman of the Year honors. His scoring, rebounding and three-point percentage are all down, but was we saw here, the 6-10 sophomore can still emerge as an X-factor for the Badgers on occasion.

Nolan Winter - Holds down paint for Badgers Winter closed with 11 points (5-11 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists and two blocks over 31 minutes during Saturday's 92-82 win over Ohio State.

Impact Winter's open three-point looks may not have been falling, but he affected the game defensively against an opponent that largely utilized a small-ball lineup. The end result was his fourth double-double of the calendar year, as well as the third time in the last four games he's recorded multiple blocks. Winter and the Badgers now have a slight break ahead before hitting the road to face Indiana on Saturday.

Christoph Tilly - Not himself in return Tilly notched zero points (0-8 FG), three rebounds, one assist and one steal in 19 minutes during Saturday's 92-82 loss to Wisconsin.

Impact Tilly gave it a go here after missing Monday's game against Penn State due to a lower body injury, but he clearly wasn't himself, getting held scoreless for the first time all year and spending much of the second half on the bench. Ivan Njegovan got some run in his stead, but much of the game was spent in a smaller lineup with freshman Amare Bynam at the five. The Buckeyes have a slight break in the schedule before Thursday's road matchup against Maryland, but it still might be worth glancing at the injury report to make sure Tilly's name doesn't resurface.

John Mobley Jr. - Held in check by Badgers Mobley finished Saturday's 92-82 loss to Wisconsin with nine points (4-12 FG, 1-8 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist over 28 minutes.

Impact Mobley had been on a scoring tear going into this game, averaging 25.3 ppg over four games leading up to Saturday. He saw a few shots early, but then foul trouble disrupted his rhythm and foced him to spend more time on the bench than normal. In fact, it was his lowest single-game minutes total since Dec. 6. This is likely just a blip on the radar, as he remains Ohio State's best pure scorer and arguably their top fantasy asset. Next up is a road matchup against Maryland on Thursday.

Andrew Rohde - Wrist soreness causes DNP Rohde is trying to recover from wrist soreness, according to Evan Flood of On3.

Impact Even though Rohde was medically cleared for Saturday's game between Wisconsin and Ohio State, his injured wrist was too sore for him to make any contribution in what turned out to be a win for the Badgers nonetheless. Still, they will look to have him available for their next game, currently scheduled for Feb. 7 at Indiana. With a week between matchups, Rohde should have an improved chance of not logging multiple DNPs from the soreness that caused his most recent absence against OSU.
