How did Wisconsin basketball transfers perform in win over UW-Platteville?
Wisconsin basketball secured a 69-53 exhibition victory over UW-Platteville on Wednesday.
Despite holding a 45-41 advantage with just 10 minutes remaining in the bout, Wisconsin received ample offensive contributions from its class of 2025 transfer cohort in the 16-point victory.
Veteran guard Nick Boyd, who joined the program from San Diego State, finished the contest with 11 points, three rebounds and one assist in 24 minutes of action. His layup with roughly five minutes to spare ballooned UW’s edge to 14, 59-45, essentially icing the game.
Forward Austin Rapp, who played for the Portland Pilots a season ago, tallied 14 points, seven rebounds, two assists and two steals in 27 minutes alongside center Nolan Winter, who led the team with 17 points, 15 rebounds and three dimes. Rapp did miss seven 3-pointers and turned the ball over seven times, but he showcased his offensive aggressiveness with a team-high 12 field goal attempts.
Virginia transfer Andrew Rhode notched seven points, three rebounds, two assists and two steals in over 21 minutes of play, including five points within two minutes in the second half. Rhode also scored five points and was active with three steals in Wisconsin’s exhibition against Oklahoma on Oct. 24.
All three playmakers figure to contribute in a large capacity for Wisconsin throughout the regular season alongside both Winter and star guard John Blackwell. Gard’s unit opens the regular season on Nov. 3 against Campbell at the Kohl Center, with tipoff set for 7:00 p.m CT.

Time to ‘fall back’ means it’s also time to check those smoke alarms
The same time to set your clocks back for daylight saving time is a great time to assure your smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors are in order.
Sunny spring evenings are just a few days away.
This weekend, clocks will “spring forward” as Milwaukee switches to daylight saving time for spring and summer.
That means you lose an hour of sleep the night before, but the city gains an extra hour of light in the evenings starting March 8, when the sun will set at 6:49 p.m., according to timeanddate.com.
The seasonal change often reignites debates about whether daylight saving time should exist at all. Though the time adjustment allows for more daylight during spring and summer evenings, many experts have argued it disturbs the body’s circadian rhythms and has other health drawbacks.
Here’s what to know as daylight saving time approaches.
When does daylight saving time start?
Daylight saving time will resume on Sunday, March 8. Clocks will jump forward one hour between 2 and 3 a.m., meaning there will be more light in the evening and less light in the morning.
When does daylight saving time end?
Daylight saving time will end for the season on Sunday, Nov. 1, when clocks are turned back an hour at 2 a.m.
What is daylight saving time?
Between March and November, Wisconsin residents set their clocks forward by an hour to gain more daylight in the evenings. During the other four months of the year, the clocks fall back to allow for more daylight in the mornings.
Daylight saving time was enacted during World War I in an attempt to save on fuel costs by adding an extra hour of sunlight to the day. While it’s a common misconception, its creation had nothing to do with allowing farmers to work longer hours, and the agriculture industry actually “fervently opposed” the measure, according to the Library of Congress.
When is the first 7 p.m. sunset of 2026 in Milwaukee?
Milwaukee will get its first 7 p.m. sunset of the year on Tuesday, March 17, according to timeanddate.com.
That day, the sun will rise at 7 a.m. that day and set at 7 p.m.
Why do some people want to end daylight saving time?
In the decades since daylight saving time was enacted, politicians, sleep experts and farmers have all pushed to change the practice, either by eliminating daylight saving time or making it permanent year-round.
In 2020, the American Academy of Sleep Medicine said the United States should “eliminate seasonal time changes in favor of a national, fixed, year-round time.” Daylight saving time disrupts the circadian rhythms of the human body, and the abrupt time change has been linked to higher risk of mood disorders and heart diseases, according to the organization.
The risk of vehicle crashes also increases each spring when drivers are especially sleep deprived after losing an hour of rest, the academy said.
As of October 2025, 19 states have enacted legislation to observe daylight saving time year-round, if Congress were to allow such a change, and two states and several territories observe permanent standard time year-round, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.
Over the years, some Wisconsin lawmakers have also drafted legislation to end daylight saving time, but those efforts have stalled.
