Reliving Jimmer Fredette’s best BYU basketball performances

Jimmer Fredette is a BYU basketball legend. The most electrifying Cougar left for the NBA six years ago, so let’s relive his six greatest games.

Jimmer Fredette is the best in BYU basketball history. No player was as exciting as The Jimmer and he gave the Cougars the best years in program history.

Since leaving BYU, things haven’t been so good for Fredette. He’s bounced around the NBA and the D-League and now calls China “home.”

Playing with the Shanghai Sharks, Jimmer is the best player in the Chinese Basketball Association. The newly nicknamed “Lonely God” is averaging 37 points per game and has the Sharks in first place.

But for now, let’s take a look back at Jimmer Fredette’s best performances for BYU basketball.

Honorable Mention: BYU basketball vs Nevada, 2009 – 33 points

Jimmer Fredette had put up some good numbers as a sophomore, but his junior season was a revelation. He began the year scoring 20+ in six of his first 11 games, then really turned things up against Nevada.

In the Orleans Arena, Fredette dropped 33 points and dished out six assists. He was a perfect 9-9 from the free throw line and led the Cougars to a 110-104 victory.

Jimmermania was born.

The next night, Fredette would lead the Cougars over the Nebraska Cornhuskers.
