Mitchell Jr. suffered a high ankle sprain on Nov. 9 against Omaha and he's been out of the lineup ever since. Last season, he was third on the team with 10.2 points per game. In his two games this season, he has averaged 6.5 points per game.

Williams transferred to the Gophers from local Division III Macalester in the offseason. He's reportedly been dealing with a bad case of mononucleosis and he has yet to make his season debut.

Minnesota will tip off against Wake Forest at 12 p.m. CT on Friday and the game will be broadcast on ESPN2.
