Last Night in College Basketball: No. 10 Iowa State Passes Test vs. No. 11 Iowa

Austin Rapp - 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.

DECEMBER 11 • ROTOWIRE

Nolan Winter - 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.

DECEMBER 11 • ROTOWIRE

Nick Boyd - Inefficient 20-piece in loss Boyd totaled 20 points (7-16 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 4-5 FT), three rebounds and four assists in 30 minutes during Wednesday's 90-60 loss to Nebraska.

Impact Boyd was Wisconsin's leading scorer, and he accounted for a third of the team's points as the Badgers got embarrassed on the road in a 30-point defeat. Boyd's three-point stroke wasn't there, and it took him 16 shots from the field to hit the 20-point mark, which he's now done in six of 10 games this season. Boyd and Wisconsin need to reset, and they'll get a shot against Villanova on Dec. 19.
