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.
