NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Some of the back and forth between Mississippi and Alabama had to be seen to be believed as Rebels senior guard Stefan Moody coolly sank 3-pointers to answer Alabama's proficiency from long range.

Moody was impressive enough to earn a standing ovation from fans of both schools along with a handshake from Alabama coach Avery Johnson, who lavishly praised the Crimson Tide for teaming up for an 81-73 victory that countered his 39-point performance.

Johnson called Moody a joy to watch and fierce competitor but noted, ''What I wanted to say was I'm glad that I don't have to coach against you anymore in this SEC tournament.''

Johnson can thank Alabama's all-in effort for that.

Retin Obasohan scored all 17 points in the second half, Riley Norris added 16 and 10th-seeded Alabama made 12 3-pointers to upset No. 7 seed Mississippi in the Southeastern Conference tournament.

Subsequently, Alabama lost in the next round.

Roll Tide!
