Rienk Mast Leads Nebraska Over Florida A&M
A big night for Nebraska's Dutchman.
Rienk Mast notched his first double-double as a Husker to lead Nebraska to a 68-42 win over Florida A&M. The victory moves NU to 2-0 on the year.
Mast scored 20 points and grabbed 16 rebounds. The Groningen, Netherlands native had nine double-doubles last season at Bradley.
Nebraska scored the first five points of the game but Florida A&M answered with an 8-2 run. That effort was squashed as NU took off on a 15-2 run to push the difference to double digits.
The lead would only grow from there, stretching to as much as 29 in the second half.
Nebraska shot 41 percent from the floor, including 10-of-28 3s. NU also had a big night with free throws, going 25-for-36 at the line.
Besides Mast, Eli Rice (16) and Brice Williams (15) scored in double figures.
The Huskers won the rebounding battle 55-35.
Nebraska is hosting the Cornhusker Classic next week, taking on Rider on Monday and Stony Brook on Wednesday.
