Jimmer scores 41 as Team Fredette rolls into quarterfinals of $2 million winner-take-all basketball tournament

Through three games of The Basketball Tournament, a $2 million winner-take-all event, Team Fredette’s strategy has stayed the same: Fall behind by double-digits early, then let former BYU star Jimmer Fredette take over.

That happened again Friday night, as Fredette poured in all 41 of his points in the final three quarters and led Team Fredette to a 104-91 win over the Fort Wayne (Ind.) Champs in a Super 16 game at Georgia State University in Atlanta.

Fredette, who scored 62 points in his team’s first two games, scored 25 points in the second half alone Friday.
