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.

Jack Janicki - Starting Saturday Janicki is included in the starting rotation for Saturday's game against Ohio State.

Impact Janicki will start in place of Andrew Rohde (undisclosed), which will mark his first start of the season. The sophomore guard will aim to make the most of his opportunities, averaging 2.4 points and 2.0 rebounds on 17.2 minutes across 21 appearances this season.

Andrew Rohde - Ruled out Saturday Rohde (undisclosed) will not play in Saturday's game against Ohio State, Evan Flood of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact Rohde was deemed questionable leading up to the matchup and his lack of participation during warmups indicated he was likely going to sit this one out. The senior guard will aim to be back for next week's contest against Indiana.

Andrew Rohde - Not warming up Saturday Rohde (undisclosed) isn't warming up ahead of Wisconsin's clash with Ohio State, per John Steppe of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel.

Impact Rohde has yet to miss a game this season, but he popped up on the Badgers' injury report with an injury Saturday. It's unclear what the senior guard is dealing with, but given that he's not participating in warmups, he appears to be trending towards his first absence of the 2025-26 campaign. If Rohde is indeed absent Saturday, expect Braeden Carrington to notch his first start in the Cardinal and White.

JANUARY 31 • ROTOWIRE

Aleksas Bieliauskas - Upgraded to available Bieliauskas (ankle) is available for Saturday's game against Ohio State.

Impact The freshman forward was spotted in practice Thursday, so it's not surprising to see him upgraded to available in this matchup. Expect the 6-foot-10 big man to remain in the starting lineup, but his fantasy production isn't notable. He's averaging 4.9 points and 3.8 boards per game in such a role (14 starts).

JANUARY 31 • ROTOWIRE

Andrew Rohde - Questionable Saturday Rohde (undisclosed) is listed as questionable ahead of Saturday's game against Ohio State.

Impact Rohde is an unexpected addition to the Badgers' injury report as the 6-foot-6 senior has yet to miss a game this season. Across 21 starts Rohde has averaged 6.5 points, 2.1 rebounds, 2.8 assists and one steal on 24.8 minutes per game. Rohde's status will continue to be monitored leading up to tipoff today.

Last Night in College Basketball: Even Without Key Players, UConn Dominated

Aleksas Bieliauskas - Practices Thursday Bieliauskas (ankle) practiced Thursday after he was spotted in a boot following the first half of Wisconsin's 67-63 win over Minnesota, per Zach Heilprin of The Zone Madison.

Impact Bieliauskas exited Wisconsin's win over the Gophers early in the first half, and was spotted donning a boot on the bench in the second half, not returning to the game. However, the Lithuanian freshman practiced the next day, which is a good sign for his availability on Jan. 31 against Ohio State. Bieliauskas averages 4.3 points and 4.0 rebounds.

JANUARY 29 • ROTOWIRE

Will Garlock - No action Wednesday Garlock did not see the court in Wednesday's 67-63 victory over Minnesota.

Impact It was the first time all season Garlock did not see the court in any capacity, as the freshman typically logs a small amount of minutes off the bench as a depth option at center behind Nolan Winter. It was especially surprising here given Aleksas Bieliauskas went down with an ankle injury early, but according to Cam Wilhorn of SiNow, Garlock's absence was game-plan related, in addition to the fact the the Badgers have been working more in small-ball lineups of late. That tracks with the fact Garlock only saw one minute in a previous matchup against Minnesota this year. While the long-term potential is there for the seven-footer, it's clear Garlock still needs a bit of refinement.

JANUARY 29 • ROTOWIRE

Jack Janicki - Quiet statistical output in win Janicki accumulated zero points (0-1 FG), one rebound, one assist, one block and one steal in 23 minutes during Wednesday's 67-63 win over Minnesota.

Impact Janicki's stat sheet doesn't look like much, but he's earning consistent minutes for his defense. Thus, fantasy managers would be wise to steer clear, even though he's a key cog off the bench for head coach Greg Gard's squad.

JANUARY 29 • ROTOWIRE

John Blackwell - Drains dagger three in comeback win Blackwell recorded 23 points (4-13 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 11-14 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and one steal in 37 minutes during Wednesday's 67-63 victory over Minnesota.

Impact Blackwell was essentially silent in the first half for the Badgers, who trailed by 18 points at halftime, a deficit that would eventually balloon to 20 before Wisconsin started a furious comeback. Just like he did in the first meeting between these two teams, Blackwell came alive in the second half, scoring the Badgers' final seven points, including what would ultimately be the dagger three-pointer. Obviously, Wisconsin would like its star junior guard to play like that all game, but he played his best when it mattered the most yet again.

Aleksas Bieliauskas - Spotted in boot Bielauskas (ankle) was seen wearing a boot on Wisconsin's bench during the second half of Wednesday's game against Minnesota, Cameron Wilhorn of SI.com reports.

Impact Bielauskas, who exited Wednesday's game with an ankle injury in the early portion of the first half, will not return to the contest. The 6-foot-10 freshman's status remains in question for Saturday's game against Ohio State.

JANUARY 28 • ROTOWIRE

Aleksas Bieliauskas - Exits game Wednesday Bielauskas (ankle) exited Wednesday's game against Minnesota with an apparent ankle injury, Cameron Wilhorn of SI.com reports.

Impact Bielauskas left in the early portions of the first half with an apparent ankle injury, briefly entering the locker room. The 6-foot-10 freshman returned to the bench before halftime, stretching out, but he has yet to re-enter the game for the Badgers.

Minnesota visits Wisconsin following Boyd's 29-point performance

Wisconsin hosts the Minnesota Golden Gophers after Nicholas Boyd scored 29 points in Wisconsin's 73-71 loss to the USC Trojans

JANUARY 27 • Associated Press

Andrew Rohde - Awful shooting game in loss Rohde racked up six points (2-10 FG, 2-7 3Pt), three rebounds and four assists in 31 minutes during Sunday's 73-71 loss to USC.

Impact Rohde hasn't been a primary scorer for the Badgers, but his rough 2-of-10 shooting outing against USC certainly didn't help as Wisconsin dropped a tough one at home. The senior has struggled to score, and in his last five games, he's shooting just 31 percent from the field. Rohde is on the court mainly to help facilitate the offense, but he'll need to offer a little more punch as a scorer to help Wisconsin finish out the Big Ten season strong.

JANUARY 26 • ROTOWIRE

Aleksas Bieliauskas - Another silent offensive game Bieliauskas posted one point (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds and one steal across 18 minutes during Sunday's 73-71 loss to USC.

Impact Bieliauskas remained an offensive non-factor for Wisconsin as the Badgers dropped a tough one at home to USC. The starting forward isn't a main component of Wisconsin's offense, but he hasn't really looked to score since his 17-point outburst in the huge road upset of Michigan, averaging just 3.8 shots per game since then. Bieliauskas is likely best avoided from a fantasy perspective at this point.

JANUARY 26 • ROTOWIRE

Nick Boyd - 29 points not enough Boyd finished with 29 points (10-17 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 8-9 FT), six rebounds, three assists and one steal over 38 minutes during Sunday's 73-71 loss to USC.

Impact Boyd came to play, dropping an efficient 29 points and contributing on the glass and as a passer. He certainly wasn't the reason Wisconsin lost; the Badgers had a handful of other poor performances from players who'd come into the game red hot (John Blackwell, Braeden Carrington). As for Boyd, he's easily been Wisconsin's most consistent player this season, and for fantasy purposes, he has a very high floor given his consistent involvement in the Badgers' offense.
