KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) Tennessee's Lamonte' Turner embraces having the ball in his hands when his team must get a basket with time running down.

Now the fifth-year senior finally gets his opportunity at being the Volunteers' go-to scorer.

"This is something you work for all your life," the 6-foot-2 guard said Friday during Tennessee's preseason media day event. "You work to be in a role like I am. But I don't just see myself as a go-to scorer. I've gotten better in a lot of things. I think I can pass the ball really well know. I'm more vocal, more of a floor general."
