Seven years later, Jimmer Fredette, Brandon Davies finally get shot at 'Final Four'

Deseret News

Jimmer Fredette and Brandon Davies are expected to play key roles in the semifinals of The Basketball Tournament tonight in Baltimore for a shot at the winner-take-all $2 million prize.

It will mark a unique opportunity for the two former BYU players, who were on an NCAA-ranked top-five team in 2011 that reached the Sweet 16 before losing to Florida in overtime without Davies.

During that magical run, Davies was suspended by BYU during the regular season, leaving the Cougars without their starting center for the Mountain West Conference Tournament and their run in the NCAA Tournament, which featured the NCAA Player of the Year in Fredette, who led the country in scoring.
