per FSN:
What has transpired through 18 games, though, is that Mason has emerged as perhaps the Gophers' most consistent guard -- and one of the school's most impactful freshmen in quite a while. After scoring 17 points Tuesday against Iowa, Mason is now averaging in double-figures (10.3 points per game). His 2.8 assists per game are second on the team, and he's also taking good care of the ball by averaging less than one turnover a game (0.9).
Top put Mason's numbers into perspective, he's on pace to score more than Hollins did as a freshman (8.7 ppg). Mason could also become the first Gophers freshman to average double-figures since Kris Humphries scored 21.7 points per game for Minnesota in the 2003-04 season.
"I think he's a really, really good player," Pitino said of Mason. "He does things that really good players do."
