KNOXVILLE – First it was Jordan Bowden’s moment.
Finally, after a number of attempts, Lamonte Turner joined him.
On a night when the Tennessee Volunteers looked sloppy on the basketball court and there wasn’t much intrigue in the final result, it was fitting the two seniors reached a milestone together.
Bowden and Turner each went over the 1,000-point mark for their collegiate careers in the 20th-ranked Vols’ 76-41 win over Alabama State at Thompson-Boling Arena.
“That’s awesome,” said freshman guard Josiah-Jordan James, who had 13 rebounds and five assists. “They’re probably the closest guys on the team. I feel like we’re all close, but they’ve been together for four years and that’s just time. For them to do it on the same night, that’s just God and that’s a blessing.”
