As the two senior leaders for Tennessee basketball, Lamonte Turner and Jordan Bowden earned their place in Vols history Wednesday night as they each reached the 1,000-point club in the program en route to the team’s dominant victory over the Alabama State Hornets. It was fitting for these two to reach it on the same night.
Turner and Bowden have had to deal with similar issues since they arrived on Rocky Top. But for both of them, one thing is a constant: they reached this rare club by being unselfish the entire time. And that’s a major tribute to them.
