Team Fredette survives first round scare in The Basketball Tournament

It certainly wasn’t pretty at times, but it all worked out in the end.

Team Fredette, the No. 2 seed in The Basketball Tournament’s Midwest Bracket, took down the No. 15 seed Peoria All Stars 88-80, after trailing by double-digits in the first quarter.

The All Stars started the game hot, jumping out to an early lead that grew as high as 12, and they led 24-15 at the end of the first quarter.

Team Fredette rode a 13-2 second quarter run to get back into the game, pulling even with Peoria 44-44 at halftime.
