OXFORD, Miss. (AP) - Despite a second straight 20-point outing for Terrico White, Ole Miss could not contain an upset-minded Alabama squad in a 90-69 loss Saturday.
White had 20 points for the Rebels (15-13,6-8), while David Huertas and Zach Graham added 11 points apiece. Anthony Brock scored 17 points as the Crimson Tide snapped an 18-game SEC road game losing streak.
Alabama (16-12, 6-8), who last won an SEC road game at LSU in 2007, placed five players in double figures. Mikhail Torrance scored 14, Justin Knox had 11 and Alonzo Gee added 10. The win was the third consecutive for the Crimson Tide.
Alabama led 49-33 at halftime on the strength of a 23-7 run in the final eight minutes. Brock sparked the outburst with four three-point shots before adding a steal and assist on a Torrance dunk.
Ole Miss never got closer than 13 points in the second half, as Alabama led by as many as 30 points.
