The Gonzaga Bulldogs are back in the Sweet 16 after they defeated the TCU Horned Frogs in a nail-biting 84-81 final to conclude the first weekend of March Madness. Once again, Mark Few's team is in the Sweet 16, and Gonzaga star Drew Timme is a big reason why.
After the victory against TCU, Drew Timme hopped on for an interview and accidentally dropped an f-bomb in a hilarious clip:

Drew Timme didn't hesitate during the interview, either, and Andy Katz looked a bit surprised to hear it on live television.
Gonzaga has now made eight consecutive Sweet 16s dating back to 2015, but things looked shaky with TCU holding a five-point lead at halftime.
But Gonzaga came out and scored 51 points in the second half, and Timme himself finished with a game-high 28 points with 8 rebounds in another dominant performance for the senior.

With Gonzaga moving on, this sets up an epic UCLA-Gonzaga Sweet 16 showdown on Thursday night in Nevada. The last time these teams met in the tournament, magic happened (for Gonzaga) as Jalen Suggs hit an unreal game-winner and jumped on the table in one of the most memorable moments in recent NCAA Tournament history. That shot ended UCLA's magical Final Four run as an 11-seed and sent Gonzaga to the title game, where they would end up losing to Baylor.

Drew Timme was a part of that magical run, and he is looking to make it back to the Final Four before he heads off to the NBA. If the Bulldogs beat the Bruins, Timme might not be asked to interview after his accidental f-bomb.
