Former BYU star Jimmer Fredette scores 30 as Team Fredette advances to The Basketball Tournament's Super 16

Former BYU guard Jimmer Fredette and his Team Fredette squad moved on to The Basketball Tournament’s Super 16 with a 99-89 victory over Jackson TN Underdawgs on Sunday at The Capital Center in Columbus, Ohio.

Fredette again paced his team, scoring 30 points on 9 of 22 shooting from the field while adding six rebounds and five assists in the second round of the annual 72-team, $2 million competition.

“We led most of the game, which was good. Our team did much better, I didn’t play very well today, so my team did a great job picking (up the slack),” Fredette said in an interview on ESPN.
