Quite a few of us had circled Saturday afternoon for the big game between the No. 1 and No. 2 teams in the WCC. Unfortunately, due to COVID-19 related protocols within the BYU Cougar’s program, the Zags will now be travelling to Portland to play their second game of the season.
Portland, like Gonzaga, was originally scheduled to play both San Diego and BYU this week. With both weeks opening up, the conference is opting for flexibility where it can. Gonzaga and Portland were set to play at Portland on Feb. 6, the only game of the week for both teams.
