Available vs. Illinois Mast (illness) is available for Sunday's game against Illinois, according to Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.

Impact After a one-game absence due to illness, Mast can help Nebraska bounce back from an unfortunate loss at Michigan. Considering that the Cornhuskers kept it close at UMich, they have what it takes to pull off a win over Illinois, especially with their top big man available. Mast is averaging 14.6 points, 6.0 rebounds and 1.8 three-pointers made on 46.5/33.7/83.3 shooting splits this season, making the 2024-25 season he sat out all the worthwhile for an excellent 2025-26 campaign.

His potential absence would be a big deal for the Huskers, as he's averaging 14.6 points, 6.0 rebounds and 3.0 assists this season.
