Badgers’ Bench Blues Ahead of Ohio State Clash
Wisconsin coach Greg Gard confirmed senior guard Andrew Rohde is listed as questionable for Saturday’s Big Ten showdown against Ohio State, despite teammate Aleksas Bieliauskas quietly nursing an ankle injury off the stat sheet. Rohde’s defensive stops and 58 assists have been key to the Badgers’ 9-4 run since December, though Ohio State counters with Bruce Thornton’s 19.6 points per game and frontcourt depth undermined only slightly by questionable forward Devin Royal and center Christoph Tilly. Tipoff is at 1 p.m. on FOX.
Here we are again: Wisconsin’s biggest problem isn’t that their star guard rolled an ankle, it’s that they forgot to mention the other guy who actually matters might also be out. Who needs transparency when you can keep your fanbase on pins and needles? Meanwhile, Ohio State’s roster remains intact enough to bench-press a small country, and the Buckeyes are probably enjoying this medical mystery more than a late-night Netflix drama. Grab your popcorn—just pray your starting lineup doesn’t decide to audition for Cirque du Soleil first.
