LAS VEGAS — Former Utah standout Tim Drisdom hasn’t played competitive basketball since 2008.
On Saturday, he made the most important shot of Team Utah’s early run in The Basketball Tournament.
Drisdom’s 3-pointer with one second left help Team Utah escape with a 100-97 win over Team Fredette in the opening round of The Basketball Tournament in Las Vegas.
Dakari Tucker scored a game-high 18 points in the first half to lead Team Utah to a 56-46 lead at the break. But Team Fredette, which was coached by former BYU star Jimmer Fredette, came back.
Team Fredette’s Jordon Crawford tied the game with a reverse layup with about one minute remaining.
