Plays just nine minutes in win Mitchell finished Saturday's 71-66 win over Penn State with two points (1-1 FG) and one rebound over nine minutes.

Impact Mitchell played fewer than 10 minutes for just the second time this season, as he's seen his playing time hit a sharp decline since mid-February. Over the last 11 games, the freshman forward is averaging 1.6 points and 2.3 rebounds while playing only 11.5 minutes per game despite starting all of these contests. Mitchell is now in a true backseat role behind fellow starting bigs Timmy Allen and Dylan Disu as well as reserve Christian Bishop. Expect Mitchell to continue seeing extremely limited playing time when Texas takes on Xaver in the Sweet 16.

Plays season-low nine minutes Mitchell chipped in two points (1-2 FG) over nine minutes during Monday's 74-67 loss to Texas Tech.

Impact Mitchell failed to play double-digit minutes for the first time this season as the Longhorns were kept at arm's length for the majority of this contest. The 6-foot-8 freshman has now averaged 5.6 points and 4.6 rebounds while playing 20 minutes per contest. Mitchell should continue to see limited production while rotating playing time with Dylan Disu, Brock Cunningham and Christian Bishop moving forward.

Gets back in scoring column Mitchell registered five points (2-3 FG, 1-2 FT) and five rebounds in 22 minutes during Tuesday's 89-75 win over Oklahoma State.

Impact Mitchell bounced back following consecutive games without any points scored. The 6-foot-8 freshman immediately started out in a prominent role for the Longhorns this season, though he's averaged just 3.4 points and 4.4 rebounds over eight conference games. Mitchell has also played more than 23 minutes just once during this span, so it appears he may have fallen into a smaller role compared to starting senior forwards Timmy Allen and Dylan Disu.

12 boards in ugly win Mitchell amassed four points (2-6 FG), 12 rebounds and three steals across 30 minutes during Saturday's 56-46 win over Oklahoma State.

Impact Mitchell had plenty of opportunities for rebounds in this rough shooting performance for both teams, as neither the Longhorns nor the Cowboys shot better than 31.5 percent from the floor Saturday. The 6-foot-8 freshman actually matched his career high for rebounds while playing his second-most minutes in a game this season. Mitchell now sits just behind senior forward Timmy Allen for Texas' lead in rebounds per game at 5.3 and 5.7, respectively. However, the freshman still ranks last among the team's starting five in points per game (7.7). It's possible Mitchell could have another strong opportunity to clean up the boards Tuesday against the Horned Frogs, who currently rank second-to-last in the Big 12 for field-goal percentage (45.5).

Leading rebounder in win Mitchell ended with eight points (4-5 FG), nine rebounds and one steal in 24 minutes during Wednesday's 93-74 victory over Gonzaga.

Impact Mitchell tied Gonzaga senior forward Drew Timme for a game high in rebounds, though he played six fewer minutes than the veteran in this statement win for the Longhorns. The 6-foot-8 true freshman once again showcased his athleticism around the rim, making all but one of five field-goal attempts while doing the majority of his work down low. Mitchell has now averaged 7.3 points and 8.3 rebounds while playing 20.3 minutes per game across three collegiate contests, and he'll look to maintain his likely unsustainable 91.7 field-goal percentage against Northern Arizona on Monday.

12 boards against inferior opponent Mitchell registered 10 points (5-5 FG, 0-4 FT), 12 rebounds and one block over 18 minutes during Thursday's 82-31 win over Houston Christian.

Impact Mitchell was one of two Texas forwards to come away with a double-double against Houston Christian, as senior Timmy Allen logged 10 points and 10 rebounds. The 6-foot-8 freshman has now started each of his first two collegiate games, averaging 7.0 points and 8.0 rebounds while converting all eight of his field-goal attempts against a pair of outmatched opponents. Mitchell will look to truly prove himself against Gonzaga next Wednesday.

NOVEMBER 10, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Gets start in exhibition game Mitchell started and posted 10 points (5-6 FG), five rebounds and two blocks in an exhibition game against Arkansas on Saturday.

Impact Mitchell was the top recruit for coach Chris Beard in the offseason and it's no surprise to see him start right out of the gate. Mitchell possess a lot of length for the small forward position and will be a factor of the defensive end of the floor. His offense should continue to improve as the season goes on. Texas will begin the regular season on Nov. 7 against UTEP.
