OSU's Evan Turner, right, has averaged 23 points per game and shot 58 percent from the field over his past five contests.
Columbus -- There's a nickname that followed Evan Turner through his freshman basketball season at Ohio State, muttered under the breath of onlookers whenever he made another move and his actions didn't match his idea.
Evan Turnover.
Away from home for the first time, unsure that Ohio State was the right place for him, admittedly never comfortable with his new life until his freshman season was over, Turner on the court at times wobbled like a fawn finding his legs.
Now in his sophomore season, there's another nickname, one Turner's older brother Richard shouts from the stands like he always has whenever he recognizes his brother is ready to ignite.
Evan Takeover.
"I don't know if he knows that," Richard Turner said, "but I started that when he was younger. Wherever the ball was, that's where Evan was."
