KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- Tennessee was dominant enough for one six-minute stretch to make up for any youthful mistakes it made the rest of the night.Robert Hubbs III scored 16 points to lead six Tennessee players in double figures Tuesday as the Volunteers capitalized on a 21-0 first-half spurt in a 103-94 victory over Appalachian State.Tennessee, which has seven true freshmen and one redshirt freshman on its roster, bounced back from a season-opening 82-69 home loss to Chattanooga and avoided its first 0-2 start since 1965-66.I cant imagine theres a younger team, Tennessee coach Rick Barnes said. I do think we did some things better from the first game, but we still, at times tonight, acted like the really young basketball team we are.The Vols (1-1) trailed 11-9 early before reeling off 21 straight points by feasting on Appalachian State turnovers. Jordan Bone and Grant Williams each scored five points during that 21-0 run, which culminated with a 3-pointer from Jordan Bowden.Tennessee led by as many as 26 points during a first half in which the Vols forced 15 turnovers.I think we missed some easy ones and I think they ramped up their pressure, Appalachian State coach Jim Fox said. It slowed us down. Our guys were making uncharacteristic mistakes. If we passed the ball up, we caught the ball right by halfcourt so they trapped us. We were really tentative with things that we did. Credit them. They did a great job. Theyre tremendously athletic.The Vols werent quite as effective the rest of the way. Appalachian State (0-2) got the margin all the way down to seven with 58 seconds left but couldnt get any closer.Tennessee won with a balanced scoring attack.Lamonte Turner scored 15 points, Bowden had 14. Kyle Alexander and Williams each had 13 and Shembari Phillips added 11 for Tennessee.I feel like everybody on our team can score the ball, Bowden said. Everybody gives the ball and is not really selfish on offense.Ronshad Shabazz and Patrick Good each scored 21 for Appalachian State. Griffin Kinney had 13 points and Kelvin Robinson added 12.THE TAKEAWAYAppalachian State: The Mountaineers inability to take care of the ball in the first half proved costly. Appalachian State had 15 turnovers in the first half. Tennessee outscored Appalachian State 22-8 in first-half points off turnovers. The Mountaineers deserve some credit for chipping away at the deficit rather hanging their heads once they trailed by 26.Tennessee: The Vols corrected many of the mistakes theyd made in their loss to Chattanooga. Tennessee shot 1 of 16 from 3-point range and had 18 turnovers and four assists against Chattanooga. The Vols were 8-of-19 on 3-pointers and had 26 assists and 12 turnovers Tuesday. Bone, who had just one assist in the Chattanooga game, had eight assists and two turnovers against Appalachian State.LINEUP CHANGEBarnes responded to Tennessees season-opening loss by having Bowden and Phillips replace Admiral Schofield and Detrick Mostella in the starting lineup.Bowden had played just six minutes in the Chattanooga game, but the freshman guard shot 4 of 8 from 3-point range and scored 14 points Tuesday.We started (Bowden) because he earned it, to be quite frank, Barnes said. The other night, the reason we switched the lineup a little bit is some of those guys that started (against Chattanooga) didnt do the things that we wanted them to do defensively.REDSHIRT DUOBarnes said he is planning on redshirting freshman guard Jalen Johnson and freshman walk-on Jacob Fleschman.INJURY UPDATETennessee guard Kwe Parker missed a second straight game while wearing a walking boot on his left foot.NEXT UPAppalachian State hosts Warren Wilson College on Thursday.Tennessee faces Wisconsin on Monday in the first round of the Maui Invitational in Lahaina, Maui.---More AP College Basketball: http://collegebasketball.ap.org---Follow Steve Megargee at www.twitter.com/stevemegargee Chris Young Jersey .com) - The women will also have a new champion at the Australian Open.

His Bathurst 1000 co-driver Jamie Whincup may have found new ways to find trouble at Mount Panorama.But Paul Dumbrell reckons he may have him beat.The Holden driver warmed up for Sundays Great Race by claiming the second tier Dunlop Series 250km race despite being distracted by someone who hacked into his cars radio frequency.Dumbrells team were unable to contact him during Saturdays Bathurst support category race after the person tapped into his radio.There was a guy jumping on the radio while I was at different places at the circuit, Dumbrell told Speedcafe.com.I have never experienced anything like it.It was not the most ideal situation.Dumbrell believed it was a spectator on the mountain.It was really sketchy but he was just chatting to his mate in the campground, he said.It was really hard to deal with the problem as you are focusing and then the radio cuts in.You dont know if it is the team warning you about a crash ahead (or the spectator).Through the race I had to take the punt there wasnt a crash and it was just old mate wanting to chat to his mate to get him a cold lager.Dumbrell will now concentrate on helping pole sitter Whincup reverse his own Bathurst fortunes and claim his fifth Great Race - but first since 2012.Whincup is looking for a reversal of fortunes after his last two disastrous Bathurst campaigns.Last year he seensationally ignored team orders to pit before passing a safety car, relegating him from second to the back of the field and finish 18th.ddddddddddddAnd in 2014 the Holden gun also defied a team directive and ran out of fuel on the 161st and final lap while leading.But Whincup is now feeling lucky after top 10 qualifying on Saturday.He somehow avoided slamming into The Dipper wall and had a brush against the concrete on the exit of Forrests Elbow during his flying lap to emerge as the man to beat.He clocked two minutes, 05.426 seconds to pip Volvos Scott McLaughlin in the last run of the top 10 shootout.Not that Whincup was getting ahead of himself.I dont want to kill the mood or anything, but in reality its a lot of hype, Whincup said of claiming pole.Its all good stuff, but it doesnt mean anything, tomorrows the big day.Theres no points for qualifying on pole.Whincup clocked the best time (2:06.77) of Sundays 20 minute warm-up, 0.1 of a second ahead of Holdens Garth Tander.It means Whincups Holden team have been fastest in seven of the nine sessions ahead of the Great Race.A good omen indeed.The Great Race starts at 1110 AEST and will honour the 10th anniversary of King of the Mountain Peter Brocks death.
