ImpactMitchell has started in four of the Rams' first six games this season but is not getting starting-caliber minutes as he's averaging 5.7 points and 3.5 rebounds in 15.8 minutes per game. Mitchell continues to split time with his brother Makhi Mitchell and Jermaine Harris but will get the nod Sunday against the Hilltoppers for his fifth start this season.

Should be available SundayHarris (illness) did travel with the team for Sunday's game at Western Kentucky and should be available to come off the bench, Bill Koch of The Providence Journal reports.
ImpactHarris failed to make the trip to Madison to play the Badgers on Wednesday due to a non-COVID illness as he was asked to stay at home as a precaution. The junior forward will be back with the team for Sunday's tilt and will likely revert to his backup role in the frontcourt.
