We need to slow down not let them speed us up. And play at our pace and control the tempo more so.Tennessee (1-2) trailed by 17 midway through the first half before finding its footing in Maui. The Vols had a pair of 10-0 runs yet were unable to sustain their momentum after Wisconsin answered.Shembari Phillips led Tennessee with 16 points, and Detrick Mostella and Robert Hubbs III had 12 each.I thought that, as you would expect, so many young guys coming out, we were a little bit jumpy at the start of the game, Tennessee coach Rick Barnes said.
