Former Cougar basketball stars thrived this past week on the international scene, or as Jay Yeomans of JMoneySports said, “it was a very good week for many of the former Cougars playing basketball around the world.”
Yeomans took a close look at multiple Cougar alums who play professionally overseas, including Jimmer Fredette, Elijah Bryant and Tyler Haws, as well as Eric Mika, Frank Bartley and Brandon Davies.
None had a better week than Jimmer.
The guard put up excellent numbers, per the usual, in the Shanghai Sharks’ (11-4) 114-107 victory over Qingdao. Fredette finished with team-high 34 points on 11-for-23 shooting from the field, including 6-for-12 from 3-point land and 6-for-7 from the foul line.
