Mast Lifts Huskers Past Winthrop
Huskers.com

Lincoln – Behind a 31-point performance from Rienk Mast, Nebraska remained unbeaten with an 80-73 win over Winthrop Tuesday evening at Pinnacle Bank Arena.

Mast hit a career-high seven 3-pointers, going 7-of-10 from beyond the arc, as he went 11-of-18 from the field and added five rebounds and four assists to pace four Huskers in double figures.

Cale Jacobsen and Braden Frager added 11 points apiece, while Pryce Sandfort added 10 points and a team-high eight rebounds, as Nebraska (7-0) shot 53 percent in the second half to overcome a 36-32 halftime deficit.

Leading 52-49 with 10:53 left, the Huskers seized control with a 15-5 spurt over the next 5:18 to build its larges lead of the night at 67-54. A Frager dunk got the run started before Mast scored the next 11 points, including a trio of 3-pointers.

Winthrop (3-4) made one last run, scoring eight straight points to cut a 72-61 deficit to 72-69 after Kareem Rozier’s 3-pointer with 1:45 left and force a Husker timeout.

Nebraska would take control as a driving basket from Sandfort, a defensive stop and a Jacobson stretched the lead back to 76-67 and NU held on for its 18th straight non-conference win.

Rozier led three Eagles in double figures with 14 points as Winthrop was held to 37.7 percent shooting.

The Huskers return to action Saturday afternoon when the Huskers host South Carolina Upstate. Tip is set for 1 p.m. (CT) and 300 Level tickets are available for purchase at huskers.com/tickets.
