twitter. com/M74GAG6ru4 — CBS Sports College Basketball 🏀 (@CBSSportsCBB) March 14, 2026 Wisconsin appeared to run out of gas in its Big Ten tournament semifinal versus Michigan on Saturday. The Badgers fell behind 52-39 midway through the second half and it began to look as if playing three games in three days had tired them out.
Then Austin Rapp caught fire from 3-point range. The sophomore forward from Melbourne, Australia could not miss, hitting five consecutive shots from behind the arc. That powered a 17-2 run for the Badgers, giving them a 62-58 lead with 3:50 remaining in the game.
