per Dienhart:
Best player: Nate Mason, Minnesota. The junior point guard just missed a triple-double (16 pts, 10 rebs, 8 assists) in Saturday’s win vs. Penn State, and he was pretty good in Wednesday’s victory at Maryland (17 pts, 5 rebs, 3 assists), too. In the two victories, Mason averaged 16.5 points, 7.5 rebounds, 5.5 assists, and 1.5 steals.
Best stat: 11, blocks for Minnesota’s Reggie Lynch vs. Penn State on Saturday. The 11 rejections are the most in a game by a Big Ten player since Ohio State’s Ken Johnson had 11 against Iowa in February 2000 and the second-most in a game in Minnesota history (Mychal Thompson had 12 in January 1976 against Ohio State). Perhaps even more impressive, he swatted the 11 shots without committing a single foul.
Best pass: Nate Mason vs. Penn State. Mason had a bunch of nice assists this past week, but his no-look dime to set up a Reggie Lynch layup vs. Penn State was a thing of beauty. The Nittany Lions didn’t see it coming at all. And how about Mason’s swag after delivering the pass? Yeah, he knew it was resulting in an easy two.
Best block: Reggie Lynch vs. Penn State. If we’re spotlighting a block, you almost have to turn the spotlight to one of the Big Ten leader’s 14 blocks on the week. Or, in this case, two of his blocks. Penn State stood no chance on this back-to-back block sequence.
