Fredette's 41 points carries Team Fredette past Fort Wayne Champs, into The Basketball Tournament quarterfinals

Call it a vintage Jimmer performance.

Jimmer Fredette scored a game-high 41 points as Team Fredette beat Fort Wayne Champs 104-91 in the Super 16 of The Basketball Tournament on Friday night to advance to Sunday’s quarterfinals.

That came after the former BYU guard scored just two points in the first quarter and the Champs — who led by as many as 15 points early — used some hot shooting to build a 34-20 lead through one quarter at Georgia State's Sports Arena in Atlanta.

That’s when Team Fredette took over, using a 22-3 run to capture the lead.
