LAS VEGAS -- After his team's 83-63 win over No. 2 UCLA on Tuesday night at T-Mobile Arena, Gonzaga's Drew Timme said the No. 1 Bulldogs had not sent a message with their dominant victory to anyone outside their locker room.

"I would just say we proved to ourselves that we can live up to the Zags standard when we really lock in and play defense together," he said. "We don't go out to prove stuff to people. We prove stuff to ourselves. And we did a good job today."
