LAS VEGAS – In what looked certain to be Drew Timme's final game, it seemed he deserved a better sendoff.

Gifts processed in this system are not tax deductible, but are predominately used to help meet the local financial requirements needed to receive national matching-grant funds. “I was bothered by all the turnovers.” Timme was brilliant from the start, but the guards were unproductive and the defense listless. “Survive and advance,” he screamed. 1-seeded UConn, the eventual national champions. His posse was helpless, practically dragged up and down the floor by Timme’s massive will alone.

How old is Drew Timme? Gonzaga star's third March Madness turn a ... (Sporting News)

Gonzaga is the most familiar face in the Sweet 16, getting past the first weekend for the eighth consecutive NCAA Tournament. That streak likely wouldn't be ...

Timme is a gifted offensive player at the college level, but concerns that he simply wouldn't be able to keep up on the defensive end in the NBA have lowered his draft stock. [Sporting News' Kyle Irving projects](https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nba/news/drew-timme-nba-mock-draft-scouting-report-gonzaga/jieqvwwg1qmunlhykxarghf5) Timme as a second-round pick whenever he decides to declare for the NBA Draft. All that's missing from his career with the Bulldogs is a national championship. In fact, Timme has another year of eligibility (his "COVID year") that he can use to return to Gonzaga. Timme will have to make that decision after this season. There's no reason to believe Timme would be completely ignored by NBA front offices, but he doesn't project as a first-round pick and might be able to make more money at Gonzaga through name, image, and likeness (NIL) deals. Timme is in his senior season and has only played in three NCAA Tournaments, since the tournament was canceled during his first season.

Timme has sustained the success ever since, averaging a career-high 21.1 points per game this season. Timme has been a staple of Gonzaga's March runs since the Bulldogs fell one win short of an undefeated season in 2021.

Timme was part of the team that finished 31-1 and made the championship game in 2021 before losing 86-70 to Baylor. He has averaged 23 points per game in NCAA play, numbers that are on par with Rice's. Here are the 14 players in NCAA Tournament history who have 275 points or more. "I just think he's going to go down, when you really think about all his accomplishments, as one of the all-time great college players in the history of the game." He is sure to factor in that result and trend on social media along the way. Timme will lead the Bulldogs — the No.

Drew Timme is the first men's player ever to have ten 20+ point games in the NCAA Tournament.

H/T @ESPNStatsInfo Timme's teammates combined for just 14 in the opening frame. He did finish with 16 points but went just 5-of-15 from the field. But he kept the Bruins in the torture chamber all night and eventually got some help in the form of Strawther and Malachi Smith who poured in 14 points and six rebounds. It looked like Timme's performance was going to be wasted in the first half as he scored 19 points but the Bulldogs seemed incapable of stopping a UCLA offense that had three double-digit scorers in the opening 20 minutes. But unfortunately for the Bruins, it was Gonzaga's Julian Strawther's shot with one second remaining in the game that won it for the Bulldogs 79-76 and sent them to the Elite Eight to take on UConn at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

Gonzaga Erased A 13-Point Halftime Deficit Thanks To A Late Logo ... (UPROXX)

Drew Timme, Mark Few, and the Gonzaga Bulldogs dug themselves a significant hole on Thursday in a Sweet 16 matchup against the UCLA Bruins in Las Vegas.

Still, this is a game that Gonzaga has sometimes figured out how to lose in recent years, and Mark Few’s team remains alive and just one game away from the Final Four. For Gonzaga, defensive questions persist and, in fewer than 48 hours, the Bulldogs The veteran center became the first player in NCAA Tournament history to score at least 20 points in ten different games, and Timme finished the evening with 36 points, 13 rebounds, and four assists as the fulcrum of Gonzaga’s offense. Gonzaga secured 14 offensive rebounds in the final 20 minutes, overwhelming UCLA with second-chance opportunities, and Timme was individually brilliant. Though it was not the way Gonzaga drew things up, the Bulldogs did have a chance at redemption, and Julian Strawther was up to the challenge. Timme was fouled with 25 seconds left and, when he missed both to continue Gonzaga’s ill-timed swoon, the door was open for UCLA. After the torrid pace of the first half, UCLA’s offensive power outage was jarring to see, as the Bruins didn’t make a field goal for more than 11 minutes, at one point missing 11 consecutive shots. Gonzaga held UCLA scoreless for more than six straight minutes and, on the other end, the Bulldogs imposed their will. That cut the deficit to 54-50, and Timme had 29 points with 14 minutes remaining. While both teams were generating quality looks, UCLA had the edge in the possession battle by virtue of ball security. [March 24, 2023] The perennial All-American scored 15 of the first 19 points for Gonzaga, showcasing his game both inside and outside.

To make a shot like that in March Madness and just to be back home in Vegas is like the cherry on top.” But Bailey’s hero status only lasted for the length of a timeout, plus the five seconds it took Gonzaga to race up the court for Strawther’s go-ahead three-pointer. Through mishaps and three missed free throws in the final minute, the Bulldogs conceded a 10-1 run capped by Bailey’s three-pointer. I don’t like to get sentimental or think about feelings in that regard. [David Singleton] and Tyger didn’t make a basket in the second half. “A lot of open shots that didn’t go down,” UCLA Coach Mick Cronin said of the second-half drought. When Gonzaga Coach Mark Few had first drawn up the unusual action in the huddle, his plan was for Strawther to use the pitch-back pass to get free for a drive toward the paint. “I challenged the guys at the half to get back to playing our way.

Why Drew Timme's final collegiate act is worthy of everyone's attention (FOXSports.com)

Drew Timme is one of the most polarizing players in college basketball, but like him or not, it's impossible to ignore his presence on and off the court.

Or maybe he wouldn’t, because with him, it is always a mystery. "With Drew you never know what is next," Few added. Come on, who wears mismatched socks and those head-scratching outfits, yet still possesses the kind of fiery intensity needed to thrive at this level? As a freshman, Timme benefited from battling against 2019-20 West Coast Conference Player of the Year Filip Petrusev in practice. It was indeed against UCLA, yet another Timme tournament masterpiece, even with a pair of missed free throws that briefly allowed UCLA to snatch back a late lead. For he is a player built for college basketball success, like others before him who were absolute standouts at this level but couldn’t have the same impact in the Association. Timme’s attributes are a nightmare for opposing college coaches to try to handle, but are less suited for the NBA. For a 6-foot-10 big man, Timme doesn't possess the type of athleticism and inside-out game the NBA desires. Mark Few’s Gonzaga team is 121-12 since Timme joined the program.
