After Baylor’s 68-74 overtime loss to No. 13 Michigan in the Hall of Fame Classic most coaches and players were disappointed with the outcome. There was one person on staff, however, who breathed a sigh of relief.
The ESPN announcers said at one point that Baylor’s next opponent, Houston Baptist, had to cancel their game with Baylor on December 29th due to Covid. So when Michael Motta—Baylor’s Assistant AD for WBB Operations— connected with his HBU contact afterwards to find that this was not the case and the game was still on, it eased his mind.
Temporarily at least.
