Nebraska standouts Keisei Tominaga, Rienk Mast earn All-Big Ten accolades
After Nebraska’s Fred Hoiberg was named the 2023-24 Big Ten Coach of the Year, two Husker standouts also received all-conference recognition.
Senior guard Keisei Tominaga earned second-team All-Big Ten honors from the league’s coaches and was named third-team by the media. Junior forward Rienk Mast was also a third-team pick by the coaches.
This marks the first season Nebraska has had multiple All-Big Ten selections. It’s also the first since Venson Hamilton (first-team, Big 12 Player of the Year) and Cookie Belcher (third-team) did it in 1998-99.

A Preseason All-Big Ten honoree going into the year, Tominaga was the focal point of a school record-breaking Nebraska offense. He led the Huskers in scoring (14.6 points per game) and made 3-pointers (65, 37.1%).
Four of Tominaga’s six 20-point efforts came in Big Ten play, including a career-high 31 points at Illinois and 30 at Michigan.
Mast, also an honorable mention pick by the league’s media, averaged 11.9 ppg, 6.8 rpg, and 3.1 apg during Big Ten play. He finished among the conference leaders in rebounding (11th), assists (13th), assist-to-turnover ratio (12th), and blocked shots (0.7, 22nd).
The Bradley transfer scored in double figures 11 times this season, with three 20-point performances in Big Ten play. That was highlighted by a 34-point effort against Ohio State.
Lastly, senior forward Josiah Allick was named Nebraska’s Big Ten Sportsmanship Award nominee.
