Rienk Mast - College Basketball News & Rumors

Conference seasons kick into gear following light AP Top 25 holiday week

The week of Christmas is typically a slow time on the college basketball, with a handful of games before and after the holiday

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.

Scores 20 in rivalry game Mast finished Sunday's 71-50 win over Creighton with 20 points (6-12 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 5-5 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one steal over 31 minutes.

Impact Mast is now averaging 18.1 ppg through nine games for Nebraska despite seeing roughly the same playing time as a season ago, as both his shooting and three-point percentage up are more than 10 points. He's led Nebraska to a 9-0 start to the season, as well as the nation's longest active winning streak (13), but that will be put to the test Wednesday when the Huskers host Wisconsin -- the best team they've faced to date.

Drops 17 as Huskers top Lobos Mast ended with 17 points (6-12 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 4-5 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one steal across 30 minutes during Thursday's 84-72 victory over New Mexico.

Impact Mast was cold from downtown, but that was about the only blemish on his stat line as Nebraska picked up its fifth win of the season by toppling New Mexico. The forward hasn't been all that assertive as a rebounder since collecting a double-double in each of his first two games, as he has just 12 over his last three. However, the Huskers keep winning and Mast is on track for a career-best season.

Double-double to open season Mast ended Monday's 86-53 victory over West Georgia with 10 points (3-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-6 FT), 11 rebounds and one assist over 25 minutes.

Impact Mast wasn't the best from a scoring perspective, but held down the paint with 11 rebounds as Nebraska topped West Georgia to open the 2025-2026 campaign. The fifth-year senior is set to be a big factor for the Cornhuskers this season, but after his first year in Lincoln yielded a productive yet inefficient season (43 percent shooting from the field), it's something of an inauspicious start for Mast to struggle from the field like he did. Still, it's the first game in what Nebraska is hoping is a long season.

Explodes in exhibition Mast notched 31 points (11-15 FG, 7-8 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five rebounds and three assists in Nebraska's 90-89 exhibition win over BYU.

Impact Mast was electrifying in the Huskers' thrilling exhibition win over BYU. The fifth-year 6-foot-10 forward notably canned 7-of-8 three pointers after shooting a respectable but far from blistering 34.4 percent from the field last season. Mast was already going to be focal point in this Huskers offense and front court, but this exhibition performance merely serves as a reminder that he should be one of the more dynamic players in the Big Ten this season.
