When the Drexel University men’s basketball team returned to campus for the 2020–2021 season, Matey Juric, a third-year biology student and guard on the team, remembers Head Coach Zach Spiker instilling in them an age-old concept that had taken on new meaning for a season that would prove to be unlike any other.
“He kept saying, ‘The most disciplined team will win and will be the last one standing,’” Juric remembered of Spiker during that socially distant, late September meeting outside the Daskalakis Athletic Center, which kicked off for men’s basketball the already delayed fall sports season. “He meant it obviously in basketball terms, but also, I think more importantly, with the COVID situation, we needed to make sure we were staying disciplined with all the protocols.”
