Mike Miles Jr. has big game for TCU, but Gonzaga uses big second half to advance and end Horned Frogs' season.

The Horned Frogs held Gonzaga to just 36% shooting and 2-of-14 from the 3-point line. A free throw by Strawther made it 35-33 with 1:10 left in the half. The Bulldogs made one more push leaning on the free throw line as they made the most of TCU being in the bonus. TCU went just 2-of-7 from the free throw line in the second half while the Bulldogs went 7-of-10. In the end Gonzaga had better execution in the second half. Gonzaga led 6-4 as Timme scored the Bulldogs’ first six points, but an O’Bannon 3-pointer would put TCU ahead and the Horned Frogs didn’t look back. His second 3-pointer of the half set the stage for a frantic final close to the game. The Bulldogs grabbed two offensive rebounds on that possession to set up his long distance shot and forced a timeout by Dixon. Both faced double teams the entire night with Gonzaga trying to trap Miles on every ball screen while Timme got the same treatment from the Horned Frogs on every post touch. “It hurts losing in the second round in another close game,” Miles said. “The threes hurt us, the inside hurt us with Timme, but we battled and we fought. The game lived up to the billing.

DENVER — (AP) — Drew Timme extended his one-of-a-kind college career by at least one more game, finishing with 28 points and eight rebounds Sunday to help ...

With TCU’s big men in foul trouble, one difference might have been the absence of Eddie Lampkin. “I think he's going to go down as one of the all-time great college players in the history of the game,” Few said. But while the Gonzaga big man worked for every one of his 12 baskets and his eight rebounds, TCU’s bigs were all in foul trouble as the game wound down. Over the final, frenetic 40 seconds, UCLA made two steals, scored the last five points and left Zags star Adam Morrison nearly crying on the court. “I thought TCU was a highly educated school, and they didn’t sound so smart with their comments pregame, so you know. They came at the Bulldogs in waves, trying to stop Timme with every big man on the roster. He does things like that every once in a while.” “And he still wasn't supposed to shoot that 3. Strawther, a Las Vegas native, will head home for his team's next game. Rasir Bolton (17 points) led Gonzaga's first big run. “It's appreciated.” “I just launched one up there.

The Gonzaga Bulldogs will make their eighth consecutive Sweet 16 appearance after defeating the TCU Horned Frogs, 84-81, in the second round of the NCAA.

Gonzaga was led by Drew Timme with 28 points and another great post game interview. Rasir Bolton who was MIA in the first half dropped a warrior-like 17 in the ...

Questionable calls aside, Gonzaga extended the lead the seven with a minute left to play, made the free throws they needed to make and showed a toughness that should impress even the most ardent GU detractors. Watson embarrassingly missed a dunk off a great pass from Bolton but made up for it on the very next possession with a steal and a breakaway dunk. Timme was called with an offensive foul on a put back, and on the very next possession made a rare three-pointer. He hit two three-pointers and a couple of driving lay-ups as both teams traded the lead for the next 10 minutes. He singlehandedly kept Gonzaga in the game despite having to sit the last four minutes of the half after picking up his second foul. TCU was led by the uber-impressive Mike Miles who scored 24 points with four assists and Emanuel Miller led the Horned Frogs with six rebounds.

Gonzaga was down as much as seven in the first round against Grand Canyon before a big surge to win comfortably. 15 Princeton in the Sweet 16. Now the Bluejays face No. Of course, it went in and Ball Arena exploded. He finished with 28 points (12-21 shooting) and eight rebounds. TCU did fight back and Mike Miles Jr.

Trailing 84-78 with under one second left, TCU rolled the ball up the court with the game all but officially over. You know what happens next...

Sallis hit two free throws, but clearly TCU and Baugh were willing to give it one more shot, even though they couldn't change the outcome of the game. There were players shaking hands and hugging on the court as the final tenths of a second ticked away, adding to the hilarity (or joy, or anger, depending on who you bet on) of the moment. Gonzaga's [Hunter Sallis](/college-basketball/players/26776397/hunter-sallis/) dunked with under 10 seconds left to restore the lead to seven, 82-75, but TCU rushed down the court, and Baugh found [Rondel Walker](/college-basketball/players/3177943/rondel-walker/) for a 3-pointer. stole the inbounds pass, was fouled and made two free throws to make it 80-75. With about 15 seconds left and Gonzaga up 80-73, Horned Frogs star Gonzaga bettors who took the Bulldogs as 4.5-point favorites will be less enthused after an all-time bad beat.

It wasn't pretty, but the Gonzaga men's basketball team still prevailed in an 84-81 win over TCU in the second round of the NCAA Tournament on Sunday in ...

Drew Timme helped lead Gonzaga to its eighth consecutive Sweet 16 appearance. The Zags move on to play UCLA in a matchup that has plenty of history.

[Johnny Juzang](https://www.foxsports.com/nba/johnny-juzang-player)’s 29 points, the 11th-seeded Bruins appeared to have punched their ticket to the title game in the dying embers of overtime. [Arizona State](https://www.foxsports.com/college-basketball/arizona-state-sun-devils-team) on Friday, the Horned Frogs came up just short for the second straight year of reaching their first Sweet 16 berth since 1968. The [Gonzaga](https://www.foxsports.com/college-basketball/gonzaga-bulldogs-team-roster) big man has also been one of the poster boys for how name, image and likeness has brought key players back for another season when they otherwise would have been inclined to turn pro. That game left its mark on the basketball world, with cameras catching Gonzaga star and Player of the Year Adam Morrison sobbing just past the 3-point line amid the heartbreak. Morrison will be there too, nearly two decades later, in his role as the team’s radio analyst. He has been covering college athletics for nearly two decades at outlets such as NBC Sports, CBS Sports, Yahoo! Timme recorded 18 points against a number of faces that he’ll see in Sin City, including "They announced it was seven straight Sweet 16s, and I was like ‘we cannot be the team that messes this one up,’" Timme told FOX Sports’ Andy Katz after the game. [Jaime Jaquez Jr.](https://www.foxsports.com/college-basketball/jaime-jaquez-player), [Tyger Campbell](https://www.foxsports.com/college-basketball/tyger-campbell-player), [David Singleton](https://www.foxsports.com/college-basketball/david-singleton-player) and [Kenneth Nwuba](https://www.foxsports.com/college-basketball/kenneth-nwuba-player). Timme finished with 28 points on Sunday night, while adding eight rebounds, three assists and a handful of key defensive stops. "It’s a testament to coach and the program we have. This whole team just fights."

Timme became the seventh player to score at least 20 points in nine NCAA Tournament games, leading the Zags over TCU.

“Sometimes it takes a while to figure out how to fight,” Timme says after his team figures that out once again and reaches the Sweet 16 for the eighth straight time. It wore out Grand Canyon in the first round as much as it out-talented the Lopes. It shuddered when TCU started out with a speed and general meanness that evoked Baylor in the 2021 national championship game, and then it regrouped, holding the Horned Frogs without a field goal for a four-minute stretch and outrebounding the Horned Frogs by six after halftime. Timme checks out of the game with 32 seconds left and waves to the crowd to encourage their adulation. He strokes his mustache as he backpedals to the defensive end. He hugs his mom and his dad. But there is also no guardrail separating what Gonzaga’s star feels and what he says, and this is how he feels at the end of a long day. He says he thought TCU was, as he puts it, a “highly educated school.” “I definitely took exception to that,” he says. He plays a team filled with guys he knows from high school hoops, and hears it loud and clear when one of them — one of his buddies, actually — says it won’t be anything overwhelmingly new for TCU to deal with a big like Timme. It is his third made 3 of the season. “When we need him the most,” Zags forward [Anton Watson](https://theathletic.com/college-basketball/player/anton-watson-9AETpXH9qVtqEZCF/) says, “he shows up.” [TCU](https://theathletic.com/college-basketball/team/tcu-horned-frogs-college-basketball/) is no exception, before and during and after.

That year, Gonzaga basically dropped every major non-conference game, lost to BYU at home, and lost both games to Saint Mary's. They were as much of a bubble ...

The Horned Frogs came down the court and drilled a 3-pointer to cut the lead to four. (Because teams down late connect on about 95 percent of those desparation 3s.) Gonzaga bettors looked to be in the clear again when Hunter Sallis was fouled with .7 seconds left (what's the point?!) and he made both free throws. Not only was the West Region 3-6 game against TCU decided, but the 4.5-point line looked to be a lock too when Gonzaga had the ball up seven and with under 20 seconds to play. A steal and two foul shots cut it to five, but still, good shape after a dunk put the Zags up seven with nine seconds to play. Feel bad for those who bet Gonzaga with the points on Sunday night. Each day so far has provided plenty of bad beats, from that meaningless four-point play at the end of Saturday's Texas-Penn State game to all those meaningless points at the end of Sunday's Kentucky-Kansas State game.

The Bulldogs defeated Texas Christian University, 84-81, in a second-round NCAA tournament game.

But then Eastern lost on Saturday to Oklahoma State in its second round game. Gonzaga got it going in the second half, pulling ahead 46-45 on a three pointer by Julian Strawther with 16 minutes left. Gonzaga now advances to the Western Regional semifinals against UCLA on Thursday in Las Vegas.

For college basketball fans who have been around a little longer, it's the image of Gonzaga forward Adam Morrison crying after the Bruins stole away a Sweet 16 ...

The last time UCLA and Gonzaga met was Nov. Gonzaga is 5-2 against UCLA in those games, including 2-1 in postseason play. UCLA’s Ryan Hollins was fouled pursuing a defensive rebound and proceeded to make two free throws to bring the Bruins within 71-70 with 19 seconds left.

UCLA might be further depleted when they take on Gonzaga in Las Vegas in the NCAA tournament Sweet 16, but both teams know it'll still be another classic.

UCLA hasn’t had much luck in Las Vegas since winning the Pac-12 tournament in 2014 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena. “Mick’s done a great job of just instilling his personality and toughness into that program,” Gonzaga coach Mark Few told reporters. He’s just beginning a lengthy recovery from a lower-leg injury suffered in the final regular-season game. Those who believe in the power of symmetry might favor the Bruins. I’m just glad he can be a part of this somehow, some way.” “I miss him and wish he was here, but stuff happens. There will be no fear but plenty of loathing in Las Vegas. Yesssssss!” “Yesssssss! the freshman up … inside … Farmar …
