College Basketball Rankings: Casey Jacobsen Welcomes Kentucky Back, Top 3 Unchanged

Rienk Mast - Quiet against North Dakota Mast finished Sunday's 78-55 victory over North Dakota with seven points (2-6 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), nine rebounds, two assists and one steal in 21 minutes.

Impact Mast is enjoying a career year in terms of production and efficiency, but he was rather quiet as Nebraska rolled over North Dakota to remain perfect on the season. He's been especially dangerous from deep this season, where he's hitting 40.4 percent of his shots on 4.8 attempts per game, though he was cold from beyond the arc Sunday. He'll look to bounce back against New Hampshire on Dec. 30 as Nebraska looks to close its out-of-conference slate out with a perfect record.

Braden Frager - 17 off the bench in win Frager had 17 points (5-8 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 7-8 FT), four rebounds and one assist over 28 minutes during Sunday's 78-55 victory over North Dakota.

Impact Frager has been stellar off the bench all season, and he was the Huskers' leading scorer Sunday as Nebraska bullied North Dakota to move to 13-0 on the season. Frager's play-time and thus, his production, have fluctuated this season, but he's been extremely reliable for a freshman and remains an integral part of head coach Fred Hoiberg's squad.

Berke Büyüktuncel - Drops triple-double Buyuktuncel finished with 12 points (5-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 11 rebounds, 10 assists, one block and one steal across 27 minutes during Sunday's 78-55 win over North Dakota.

Impact Buyuktuncel's triple-double against North Dakota was just the fourth triple-double in the history of Nebraska Basketball. The big man hadn't dished out more than three assists in a game this season, but he was the Huskers' top facilitator as Nebraska moved to a rather stunning 13-0. The junior has been hot and cold this season, but this was a phenomenal performance with the thick of conference play just around the corner.

Pryce Sandfort - Catches fire, stuns Illini Sandfort closed Saturday's 83-80 win over Illinois with 32 points (12-18 FG, 6-11 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound, three assists and one steal over 33 minutes.

Impact Sandfort has quietly been one of the top scorers in the Big Ten, but he saved his best effort of the year for when the team needed it most, matching his season-high with six three-pointers in the resume-building victory. Don't look now, but Sandfort and the Cornhuskers are riding the nation's longest active with streak at 15, which has held up in tough matchups against Creighton, Wisconsin and Illinois to begin the month of December. A break in the schedule awaits before taking on North Dakota next Sunday.

Last Night in College Basketball: No. 10 Iowa State Passes Test vs. No. 11 Iowa

Braden Frager - Stellar off the bench in win Frager accumulated 15 points (4-10 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, three assists and one steal across 29 minutes during Wednesday's 90-60 victory over Wisconsin.

Impact Frager's 15 points were the most he's scored in four games, aided by three triples as the Huskers buried Wisconsin. But more than the scoring, Frager also added a post presence off the bench with six boards, and dished out a season-high three assists. The freshman forward is averaging 11.9 points and 4.3 rebounds off the bench for Nebraska -- he's been tremendously valuable.

DECEMBER 11 • ROTOWIRE

Jamarques Lawrence - Seven dimes in easy win Lawrence finished with five points (2-7 FG, 1-4 3Pt), one rebound and seven assists over 26 minutes during Wednesday's 90-60 victory over Wisconsin.

Impact Nebraska's offense was humming all night against a hapless Badgers' defense, but Lawrence couldn't get in on the action, at least from a scoring perspective. He was just 2-of-7 from the field and has now been held to single-digit points in each of his last five games. The point guard did dish out a season-high seven assists, thriving as a facilitator, but he's been quiet as a scorer as of late.
