All-around producer Mashack had 11 points (3-8 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 4-5 FT), five rebounds and four assists across 28 minutes in Sunday's 89-88 exhibition victory over Michigan State. Impact Mashack and Jordan Gainey picked up spot starts with Zakai Zeigler (knee) and Santiago Vescovi (personal) both ruled out for the contest, mirroring last season's alignment when Zeigler went down with injury and Mashack ended up picking up 13 starts. In 11 starts to finish last season, Mashack ended up with averages of 7.3 points, 2.5 rebounds and 2.5 assists across 25.5 minutes. He'll likely return to the bench when Zeigler is healthy enough to play, but his quality contributions here put the depth of the Volunteers on display.
