PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Drew Timme scored 21 of his 25 points in the second half, and top overall seed Gonzaga rallied from a 10-point halftime deficit to ...
The last time Gonzaga failed to reach the Sweet 16 was in 2014 as a No. 8 seed.

The matchup between future NBA lottery picks Chet Holmgren of Gonzaga and Jalen Duren of Memphis never fully materialized because of foul trouble. After Nembhard’s 3 put the Bulldogs up 76-69, the Tigers still made it a one-possession game with 32 seconds left on Lester Quinones’ 3-pointer. Trailing at the half for only the fourth time this season, Gonzaga leaned on its star junior to reach its seventh straight Sweet 16. The Tigers pulled even at 66 on DeAndre Williams’ basket.

From his halftime locker room speech to his bust-out second-half performance, the Gonzaga star kept the Bulldogs on track in the best game of the tourney so ...
At that moment, Timme looked like Timme, and Gonzaga looked like Gonzaga. And, if this is truly, finally the year the Bulldogs win the title that has eluded them, this was as good a look as any heading into the second week. It’s still a team with an elite point guard (Nembhard), a soon-to-be NBA lottery pick (Holmgren), Final Four experience from last season and, of course, Timme, their superstar who shows up to games looking like he’s headed for pick-up hoops at the local Y. Gonzaga remains the favorite as it heads into its seventh-straight Sweet 16, having survived a game, Few said, that was “as physical as we’ve been in all year.” But somehow, he managed to hold onto the ball, steady his body just enough and lay it in while not facing the basket or stable in his positioning. Timme turned to catch the pass and his momentum almost took him over the baseline. “They went to the championship level,” Hardaway said afterward. He wanted to go out “guns blazing,” and not the finger gun variety he prefers for in-game celebrations. He muscled into the paint, spun, twisted and scooped in a lay-up with his left hand. Flash forward to Saturday evening at the Moda Center. It was halftime, and Gonzaga wasn’t just losing to Memphis. The Tigers had been more physical, dominated on the boards, and held the Bulldogs without a field goal for the final 4:12 of the first half. The two cornerstones of Few’s latest contender—“This is their team,” he has said—even turned in the highlight of a night with no shortage of how-did-that-happen-type of plays. Drew, the oldest of Megan and Matt’s three children, was at a nearby hotel, lounging with his Gonzaga teammates, preparing to play again and continue their latest run at an ever-elusive title. He thumped his chest, as if to announce that he and Gonzaga had awoken. No. 1 Baylor was trailing against North Carolina. It would later lose to the Tar Heels, and when the Timmes saw this, they didn’t say much.
Drew Timme scored 14 of Gonzaga's 16 points in a second-half stretch where they cut a 12-point deficit down to two en route to an 82-78 victory over ...
"He made some tough shots, controlled the game, got our guys in foul trouble and the rest is history." They had to make shots and they had to get stops and they did both ways." Timme had a team-high 10 points in the first half of that game but shot 3-of-7 from the field and missed five of his nine free throw attempts. Facing a talented Memphis team that had won 13 of its previous 15 games after a 9-8 start, Gonzaga didn't have the same kind of margin for error this time. Overall, he scored 14 of the Zags' 16 points in a stretch when they cut the deficit down to two, making a 3-pointer and hitting from a variety of difficult angles. "I would like to stop doing that," he said.
