In this final season, he averaged six points per game on 45.4% shooting from the field and 35.1% on 3-pointers. In 35 appearances and starts, he also contributed 4.2 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game.

As a junior, Mashack played in 36 games and started in eight. He notched 4.5 points per game on 44.8% shooting from the field and 35.9% on 3-pointers. He added in 3.1 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game.

In both of these final seasons, Mashack was a key piece for the Vols during Elite Eight runs. This makes up two-of-three appearances in the round in program history. He also earned a regular season SEC title in his junior season.

As a sophomore, he appeared in 36 games and started 13. After Zeigler went down with a late season-ending injury, he stepped into a larger role as a ball handler. He averaged 4.7 points on 42% shooting from the field and 31.4% on threes.
