Wisconsin Badgers News - College Basketball | FOX Sports

Jack Janicki - Banged up in loss to Buckeyes Janicki is dealing with a hand or wrist injury he suffered in Wisconsin's loss to Ohio State on Tuesday, per John Steppe of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel.

Impact Janicki has played a moderate role for the Badgers off the bench this season, mainly for his defense. The sophomore guard is only averaging 2.2 points and 2.0 rebounds, but he's played at least 10 minutes in all but two games this season. His status is currently unknown, but if the Badgers lose him for a significant amount of time, their back court depth would suffer.

Austin Rapp - Not warming up Rapp (illness) is not warming up ahead of Tuesday's game at Ohio State, John Steppe of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Impact The fact that Rapp isn't warming up suggests he won't be available to feature Tuesday. If that's the case, the big man will aim to recover for the matchup against Iowa on Sunday, Feb. 22.

Austin Rapp - Tabbed questionable Rapp (undisclosed) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against Ohio State.

Impact Rapp dealt with an ankle injury in early January before missing Wisconsin's Feb. 7 matchup with Indiana due to illness. He's back on the injury report ahead of Tuesday's game, but it's unclear what's ailing him. He's averaging 10.7 points, 4.2 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 19.7 minutes across his last six games.

Last Night in College Basketball: Unranked Wisconsin Gets 2nd Top-10 Road W

Aleksas Bieliauskas - Two threes help UW knock off Illini Bieliauskas racked up seven points (2-4 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT) and four rebounds in 21 minutes during Tuesday's 92-90 OT win over Illinois.

Impact Bieliauskas' final line won't raise any eyebrows, but his two triples were absolutely enormous in helping the Badgers keep pace with Illinois' top-ranked offense in the country. Wisconsin wound up hitting 16-of-36 shots from distance (44 percent), which was crucial because the Illini shot 45 percent from deep as well as 53 percent from the field. This was a good bounce-back outing for Bieliauskas after he was blanked in the Badgers' prior game, a loss to Indiana.

FEBRUARY 11 • ROTOWIRE

Jack Janicki - Nothing doing in Champaign Janicki closed Tuesday's 92-90 OT win over Illinois with zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound and one assist over nine minutes.

Impact Janicki has only scored in one of his last five games. He's not on the court to produce; he's on the court to be in the right spot at the right time defensively. His nine minutes against the Illini were well below his season average of 17.4 heading into the contest, but against the Illini' No. 1 ranked offense in the nation, Wisconsin needed to make sure it had scoring prowess on the floor at all times.

FEBRUARY 11 • ROTOWIRE

Braeden Carrington - 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.

FEBRUARY 11 • ROTOWIRE

John Blackwell - Buries Illinois with five triples Blackwell notched 24 points (9-22 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal in 43 minutes during Tuesday's 92-90 OT victory over Illinois.

Impact Blackwell's 24 points were his most since the Jan. 13 win over Minnesota, which was also the last time he canned five three-pointers. The guard was excellent for Wisconsin, hitting big shots to keep the Badgers in the game and then knocking down a huge three-pointer in overtime to give Wisconsin what wound up being an insurmountable lead. Blackwell appears to live for the bright lights, playing his best in hostile environments and clutch situations.

FEBRUARY 11 • ROTOWIRE

Nick Boyd - Several huge buckets in win Boyd supplied 25 points (10-19 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-3 FT), two rebounds, five assists and two steals in 39 minutes during Tuesday's 92-90 OT win over Illinois.

Impact At this point, it's clear the Wisconsin will go as Boyd and John Blackwell go. On the road in Champaign, against the No. 8 Fighting Illini, both were once again stellar. Boyd made several huge shots, and while Blackwell was electrifying from deep, the point guard made a handful of dynamic plays at the rim. He now has 20-plus points in five straight games, and is posting 47/50/81 shooting splits in that span.
