If anyone watched the Nebraska-Oklahoma game yesterday, it was the Rienk Mast show. He was dominant throughout the game, and lead Nebraska to a big win over a good Oklahoma team. Rienk played 34 minutes and had 26 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists and he was 5-7 from three....

Rienk Mast was instrumental in Nebraska's win Saturday at Illinois-

Rienk continues to be one of the top scorers in the Big Ten-

Reink Mast leads Nebraska over Michigan State in Lincoln 19 points (15 in first half) leading Nebraska, 7 rebounds leading Nebraska. Probably the biggest win for Nebraska ever. So, happy for Reink. I am always happy for him and on the other hand always hate seeing him in another uniform. They move to 14-0. Wow.

Now that Nebraska is still undefeated, and Reink Mast hits the winning 3 vs.Michigan state, of course I can't help wonder what would be if we still had him!

I think about that a lot. Can you imagine how he would dominate the Valley?

not sure this is a good thing, but.....

the last three BU starters who portalled elsewhere and currently playing for DI teams, have a
combined record right now of 40-6 (both Nebraska & Miami are 15-0, Charleston is 10-6)

Interesting matchup today (Sat., 1/10) between 2 of the top Big Ten teams, both lead by former MVC stars who are candidates this season for All-Big Ten. And no, I am not referring to former Drake guard Conor Enright.
Nebraska started today 15-0, but the critics have said they played a weak schedule.
Well, today they just beat Indiana in Bloomington, something that is not an easy task.

Rienk Mast has been terrific for Nebraska this season, after coming back from another severe knee injury and surgery last year.
#5 ranked Nebraska (20-0, 12-0) is playing at #3 ranked Michigan (18-1, 9-1) tonight, and Rienk was said to be out due to illness.

However, he did come out onto the floor for warmups- www.x.com/RobinWashut/status/2016279450787181042
But the game is midway through the 2nd half with Nebraska leading Michigan 60-52, and Rienk has not played yet.
