PORTLAND, Ore. — Despite nearly posting a double-double performance, Drew Timme didn’t like the way he played in the first half.
“I guess I just had some jitters,” the Gonzaga star junior forward said. “It’s March, you know. My first true March, so I was a little nervous, I guess. Credit to my teammates for telling me to keep going.
“These guys, everyone in (the locker room) said, ‘You’ve got to be you. You’ve just got to post up and get to the basket and do what you do best.’ I just get a confidence boost when guys have your back like that, even when you’re struggling. … That really helped me just get back to doing what I do.”
