By his own admission, Jimmer Fredette did not play well in Team Fredette’s 99-89 win over the Jackson (Tenn.) Underdawgs Sunday in The Basketball Tournament, a $2 million winner-take-all event being contested this summer for any players who are not currently on NBA rosters.
But the former BYU star led all scorers with 30 points, and chipped in five assists and six rebounds in the second-round win at Columbus, Ohio. Fredette had 32 points in his team’s opening-round win on Saturday and is 22 of 22 from the free-throw line.
“I didn’t play very well today, but my team did a great job of picking me up and getting this win for us, so it was great,” Fredette said.
