Zags welcome addition of BYU to WCC

The conference shuffle reached the WCC on Tuesday with BYU announcing it will join the conference in basketball and many of its other sports. Gonzaga applauded the addition of BYU, a traditional power in basketball. The Cougars will become independent in football.

More on GU's reaction to BYU's decision here and here. There's much more on BYU from the Deseret News here and here. The Salt Lake Tribune surely has a number of articles, but I can't access the site (it's probably being deluged by visitors).

Meanwhile, Gonzaga's Kelly Olynyk came off the bench to score 13 points, but Canada lost to France at the FIBA world championships. Robert Sacre had two rebounds in eight minutes for Canada.
