Miller will have a tough matchup when trying to limit the offensive production from Gonzaga forward Drew Timme, who is trying to put an exclamation mark on his storied college basketball career. Timme led Gonzaga in points (20.9), rebounding (7.3) and assists (3.2).
Gonzaga got off to a slow start in their first round matchup against Grand Canyon, but put it together behind a 28-point performance from guard Julian Swather, with Timme adding 21. Head coach Mark Few credited Timme’s leadership with getting the Zags going during halftime.
“As I walked into the locker room, Drew was talking to guys about ‘Hey, now the jitters are out of the way and now we’ve got to play,'” coach Mark Few said about halftime, per the team’s website. “I thought we came out, certainly for that first 15 minutes in the second half, and we got back to the plan.”
Time and the Zags will be a handful for TCU, in what should be a good March madness tilt, but bettors should be locking in this Emanuel Miller player prop with favorable current odds.
