ZAGS 360 – What a Wonder of a Week Two
Gonzaga vs. Baylor
I looked forward to this game since I first saw the schedule. The number one and two ranked playing this early in the season was an event! I was sitting at attention in front of the TV when my phone flashed that the game was canceled due to COVID-19 concerns.
One athlete and one non-athlete member of the Gonzaga traveling party tested positive for the virus. It was also a concern for the West Virginia game, but they still played.
A joint statement by Gonzaga Coach Mark Few and Baylor Coach Scott Drew read:
“We’re disappointed to not be able to play one of the most-anticipated games of the season, but we are following the advice of public health officials. When we decided to play during a pandemic, our priorities were protecting the health and safety of student-athletes and following public health guidelines, and we’re proud of how both programs have held true to those promises. There are much greater issues in this world than not being able to play a basketball game, so we’re going to continue praying for everyone who has been affected by this pandemic.”
We send our best wishes to those affected as well as the rest of the team.
