Not starting Sunday Mathis is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against Indiana.

Impact Mathis has started every game this season so his omission from the lineup comes as a bit of a surprise. The 6-4 junior has seen his shot go cold as he's shooting just 25.8 percent from the floor over his last four games and hasn't topped 10 points since Jan. 2. He'll be replaced by Paul Mulcahy who is getting his first start since Dec. 29.

However, he's cooled off over the past two games, averaging just 5.0 points and 2.0 rebounds over 23.5 minutes per contest while shooting 30.8 percent from the floor during that time.
