Reliving Jimmer Fredette’s best BYU basketball performances

No. 2: BYU basketball vs New Mexico, 2011 – 52 points

BYU basketball hadn’t beat New Mexico that season. The Cougars were 0-2 against the Lobos, losing by a combined 27 points.

The two teams were set to meet in the MWC tourney, and the Cougars were determined to get a win.

Enter Jimmer.

Fredette dropped a career-high 52 on the Lobos, breaking his own MWC tourney scoring record. He was 22-of-37 from the field, hit seven 3-pointers and – amazingly – hit just one free throw.

It was one of the best individual performances in BYU basketball history.
