SPOKANE — One of the intriguing story lines going into Saturday night’s BYU-Gonzaga game had nothing to do with basketball.
This week, Gonzaga’s administration asked students to avoid dressing up as LDS missionaries. In previous visits to The Kennel, some students wore white shirts and ties and bicycle helmets to poke fun of the Cougars, who have eight returned missionaries on their roster this year. Coach Dave Rose also served a mission.

The students at the Jesuit school got the message and obeyed.
