Twitter reacts to Drew Timme’s 10-year NCAA career ending after UConn tops Gonzaga

Somehow, some way, Gonzaga star Drew Timme remains only 22 years old.

He won’t be a Gonzaga star for much longer, though; even though he’s actually only used four years of eligibility thus far, and has a fifth remaining (I know … I know), Timme has reportedly told the media that he plans to test the NBA waters once this campaign wraps up.

That hard truth thudded to the ground on Saturday night, as Timme piled up four fouls just a few minutes into the second half (his fourth coming on a controversial arm-tangling), which coincided pretty plainly with the UConn Huskies fulfilling their destiny and running the Zags out of the gym.

Before too long, a seven-point halftime lead had become 31, leading to an entire quarter-game of garbage time. UConn rose and fired and drilled what felt like 13 treys in a row, while Timme tried desperately to turn his old man game into 12-pointers at the rim (which aren’t a real thing).

All game long, the Timme heckling was prominent. And it only got worse online as the buzzer sounded.

Twitter roasted Drew Timme of Gonzaga after UConn made Final Four

Does Timme have a shot to bring his herky-jerky game to the NBA? Bill Simmons loves herky-jerky? Surely, there’s room for — oh.

Going to respectfully disagree with Félix here. He’ll make the league. And it’ll be weird.

Or maybe he’ll be at PricewaterhouseCoopers? Either way, the mustache has got to go.

As the clock ticked down, college fans were equal parts happy for the Huskies and depressed Timme was never able to fulfill his true destiny.

Coach K currently seething he wasted his final years recruiting one-and-dones instead of Angry Old Ballers.

Hopefully, the refs are kinder to Timme at his next stop.

All told, Timme’s best shot at a title came two years ago in the semi-bubble in Indianapolis. While it seemed like his Zags might sneak through in a weakened field this time around, he had no idea what Dan Hurley had in store for him. That train cannot be stopped.

Best of luck in the next chapter. And congrats to Connecticut, who played like a peak Belichick Patriots team. Ruthlessly efficient. The kind of game management we pride ourselves on here at PwC.
