KNOXVILLE – There’s a saying that “You’re only as good as your options.”
If that’s the case, the Tennessee men’s basketball team will get better and better as the season goes along.
In addition to the return of Lamonte Turner on Saturday against Georgia, the third-ranked Volunteers received a boost from fellow junior guard Jordan Bowden, who scored a season-high 20 points in the resounding 96-50 win at Thompson-Boling Arena.
Bowden missed his first two shots, giving him 12 consecutive misses from the field dating back to the Samford game on Dec. 19, but ultimately made 8 of 13 shots against Georgia’s Bulldogs, falling one point short of his career high.
The 6-foot-5 guard got into a rhythm early, knocking down a couple of shots off curl screens.
