Drew Timme and Jaime Jaquez Jr. will be reunited Thursday night in the desert when Gonzaga meets UCLA in the NCAA Tournament’s West Region semifinals.
"We’ve just kind of grown up at the end of our careers together and just to kind of see him from afar, it’s awesome to see," Timme said Wednesday.
The 6-foot-11 Timme has been one of the nation’s best big men during his time in Spokane, Washington, leading the Zags to four of their eight straight Sweet 16 appearances, including the 2021 national title game. Timme also has a knack for taking over in big games, like he did last week by scoring 28 points in Gonzaga’s second-round win over TCU.
