Such a balanced statistical output is remarkable; especially when added to the fact that Turner thrives when sticking daggers into opponents. <\/p>\n<p>Ohio State has other contributors \u2013 namely, guards William Buford and David Lighty \u2013 but Tech\u2019s gameplan will begin and end with containing the explosive Turner.<\/p>\n<p>            To pull an upset, Georgia Tech would need valiant performances from their big men duo, freshman Derrick Favors and junior Gani Lawal. Lawal, in particular, had a strong game against Oklahoma State, going for 14 points and six boards. Favors chipped in one rebound shy of a double-double. Such consistency down low \u2013 and such attention to stifling defense \u2013 will be intrinsic to Tech having success against the Big Ten\u2019s finest.          <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" style=\"margin: 1px; border: 3px solid #ffffff;\" src=\"http:\/\/www.bodogaffiliate.com\/resources\/banners\/sportsbook\/square\/250x250\/250x250a-sportsbook.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"250\" \/><\/p>\n<p>  Once Turner finds a groove, he\u2019s very tough to slow down.
