per WCCO:

Nate Mason has finished his career with a flourish in his fourth year as the point guard for Minnesota, rising in the program’s record books with the performance of a calm, clutch and confident senior leader.

The Gophers haven’t reciprocated.

This once-promising season took a sharp turn for the worse two months ago, when off-the-court trouble for center Reggie Lynch and a shoulder injury to small forward Amir Coffey took two starters off the court and sent the team into a tailspin it hasn’t recovered from.

Not that Mason hasn’t tried to steer them out of it.

“He works hard every day. He deserves success,” shooting guard Dupree McBrayer said. “Things happened and went the wrong way, but he’s still trying to get us to battle, still trying to lead the right way. There was no day he came in here not trying to work hard, not trying to get us to work hard.”
