Shortly after putting up 30 points, 13 rebounds and four assists in the top-seeded Bulldogs’ 87-71 win over 8-seed Oklahoma, Timme found out that his mom wants him to shave his glorious Fu Manchu. CBS reporter Lauren Shehadi broke the unfortunate news to Timme in a postgame interview:

Hopefully mom will understand that you don’t just change up your look when you’re in the middle of what could be a historic NCAA Tournament run. Besides, Timme’s mustache is right up there with Luka Garza’s eyebrows in terms of iconic March Madness looks.
Timme’s mustache was apparently notable enough to warrant a post from the Zags’ Twitter team:
