This time, Jimmer Fredette didn’t need to score 41 points.
A balanced attack by No. 2 seed Team Fredette took down No. 1 seed Scarlet & Grey 100-78. With the win, they’ll advance to the semifinals of The Basketball Tournament on Thursday night.
Unlike previous games, Jimmer’s team didn’t fall behind big early on. The first quarter was tight, with Team Fredette taking a 21-17 lead at the end of the period after Jimmer hit a stepback jumper at the buzzer.
The lead kept growing from there. Scarlet & Grey never took led again, trailing 51-40 at halftime.
