Team Fredette advances to The Basketball Tournament's Super 16, behind 30 points from former BYU star

The team’s namesake admitted he didn’t have the greatest game.

Still, that didn’t stop Team Fredette from moving on in The Basketball Tournament, as former BYU guard Jimmer Fredette scored a game-high 30 points in his squad’s 99-89 win over Jackson TN Underdawgs on Sunday at the Capital Center in Columbus, Ohio.

“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 told ESPN in a postgame interview as Team Fredette advanced to the Super 16 in the annual 72-team, $2 million competition.
