1. What kind of game will Mitchell have coming off an illness?

Donovan Mitchell was dealing with a bit of an illness whenever the Cardinals squared off against Long Beach State last week. He did look a little tired, but it didn’t mess with his play on the court, other than maybe having some tired legs impact his shooting.

However, it wasn’t like being sick kept Mitchell from playing a solid game. He finished the game with 8 points, 2 steals, 1 block, 1 assist, and 6 rebounds.

With that being said, how will he come out against Old Dominion with just a little under a week of rest? I think we will see a player that is anxious to get back on the floor and play his impressive style of basketball.

Mitchell has been playing with a high level of intensity on defense this year which will sink the Monarchs’ chances of upsetting the Cardinals on Wednesday night.
