“#Gonzaga played Auburn despite dealing with positive COVID-19 test<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n A positive COVID-19 test of a Gonzaga player and an administrative staff member didn\u2019t stop the top-ranked team in the country from playing Auburn on Friday in the Fort Myers Tip-Off Classic.<\/p>\n

Coach Mark Few said the team followed the tournament\u2019s protocols and the Florida health board, and went ahead with the game<\/a> despite the positive tests.<\/p>\n

Two Gonzaga players, Dominick Harris and Julian Strawther, were not on the bench on Friday. Harris\u2019s father Shawn tweeted that his son was in quarantine<\/a> because he was a close contact of a teammate who tested positive.<\/p>\n

Auburn coach Bruce Pearl was happ<\/a>y they played the game<\/a>, despite his team coming up on the wrong end of a 90-67 result, after consultation between both teams\u2019 doctors.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m glad we got the game in and I hope nobody gets infected by it,\u201d he told reporters.<\/p>\n

Opting the play the game flies in the face of the NCAA\u2019s guideline of a 14-day pause for a program if it has just a single positive test. Eight Big East teams have already gone into a pause because of positive tests and Iona did as well, without a single player testing positive.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
