Tennessee shot just 33 percent from the floor and connected on only six of 23 three point tries.

The Owls ended with a 42 percent field goal percentage after warming up after intermission.

Olivier Nkamhoua, who led in the dismantling of Duke, scored only six points against Florida Atlantic - none in the first half.
