...Turner is damn near pulling off a triple crown in the Big Ten, leading that conference in scoring (19.7 ppg) and rebounding (9.3) while placing second in assists (5.9). He's in the national top 40 in all three stats, and he leads the country with two triple-doubles, and he's also among Big Ten leaders in steals, blocks and field-goal percentage. ......

big OSU fan, love turner...but didnt one of his triple doubles include double digit turnovers??

Gregg Doyel voting for a Buckeye is big news. He is a huge kentucky homer. Means he didn't vote for Wall or Cousins.

That is not true. He has had two games with 10+ pts, rebounds and assist (this is the two triple doubles he is referring to). He did have a game where he had 10+ pts, rebounds and turnovers.

Thad Matta made Turner a lot of money. Moving him to the point has beent he best thing for Ohio State. Yes, he turns it over maybe a little more than your average point guard but he also scores and rebounds better than most point guards. I would love to see him finish his career with a nice run in the NCAA tourney (sweet 16 or better).

turnovers don't count towards triple doubles.

They did. They said he'd have his 3rd Triple Double if you count turnovers. However, he had two triple doubles other than that night.

That game everyone is talking about is the North Carolina game where he had 23 Points 11 Rebounds and 10 Turnovers...

His Triple Doubles came against...Alcorn State and Lipscomb
