BYU has made itself at home the past three years at McCarthey Athletic Center, beating national power Gonzaga on its home court each year over that span.
Now, the Cougars may be getting an even warmer welcome.
The Gonzaga Bulletin reported that school administrators are urging students to reconsider dressing as Mormon missionaries — only a handful have done so in the past at the 6,000 capacity arena — when BYU plays the Zags at The Kennel this Saturday (8 p.m. MST, ESPN2).
“[Those costumes don’t] really represent who we are as a university and it shines bad on us and doesn’t show a welcoming community that supports everybody,” Colleen Vanderboom, assistant dean of Student Involvement and Leadership, told the Bulletin.
