The Wisconsin Badgers men's basketball program has suffered another huge loss as freshman forward Aleksas Bieliauskas has entered the transfer portal, according to DraftExpress.
Greg Gard has his work cut out for him, as Bieliauskas appeared in 35 games this year and made 28 starts. Most importantly, he started all 23 of the Badgers' conference games.
On the surface, losing a player who averaged just 4.9 points and 4.4 rebounds per game doesn't seem like that big of a deal. When looking at this Badgers lineup and the fact that they've now lost another starter, it makes it a whole lot worse.
The 6-foot-10 Lithuanian was just 1-of-5 in Wisconsin's lone NCAA Tournament game against High Point. Bieliauskas scored a total of 171 points this season and shot 43.1% from the field.
Wisconsin knew Nick Boyd and Andrew Rohde were going to graduate, but now the program is stuck replacing both Bieliauskas and John Blackwell, who entered the portal the day before Bieliauskas did.
