Saturday's highly anticipated showdown between No. 1 Gonzaga and No. 2 Baylor has been called off for now amid COVID-19 concerns. New of the cancelation came down roughly an hour and a half before the scheduled tip-off between the teams at Bankers Life Fieldhouse in Indianapolis.
A Gonzaga player and another member of of the traveling party tested postive for COVID-19 forcing the game to be called off, Baylor announced in statement.
"Following surveillance testing for COVID-19, one student-athlete and one non-student-athlete of the Gonzaga men's basketball travel party tested positive," the statement said. "The student-athlete did not play in Wednesday's game against West Virginia. After thoughtful consultation with the Marion County Public Health Director, the Indiana State Health Commissioner, and both team physicians, Gonzaga and Baylor have mutually agreed today's game will not be played. Both teams have agreed to attempt to reschedule the game at a later date."
Baylor coach Scott Drew and Gonzaga coach Mark Few released a joint statement.
"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," the statement said. "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."
