INDIANAPOLIS — If you’re in a rush here and want to know how Gonzaga made the men's Final Four, which you probably expected them to make, just know that Drew Timme ran out of new celebrations midway through it.
The Bulldogs took a 20-point lead shortly into the second half, curling their way through a baseline out of bounds play that started with Corey Kispert rolling to the corner, but instead sent the ball to Jalen Suggs, who faked multiple Trojans with a brief hesitation and found Timme diving into the paint for a two-handed dunk.
The next part has become as predictable as Gonzaga’s remarkable dominance, which has gone on mostly unfettered for months, with an 85–66 win over USC now in the rearview.
