Chris Warren scored 25 points and Zach Graham added 17 points and 10 rebounds as Mississippi came from behind to take down visiting Alabama 68-63 on Saturday.

Terrence Henry hit two key free throws with 29 seconds left and finished with eight points for the Rebels (18-11, 6-8 SEC), who snapped a two-game slide.

JaMychal Green scored 17 points for the Crimson Tide (19-9, 11-3), who have already locked up first place in the SEC West and a top-2 seed in the conference tournament but still need a strong finish to improve an at-large resume for the NCAA Tournament that includes some ugly non-conference losses.

Alabama trailed 35-30 at the break as the Rebels shot 50 percent in the first half. The Crimson Tide quickly made up the difference out of the locker room, ripping off a 21-5 spurt led by six points apiece from Chris Hines and Trevor Releford.

Mississippi trailed 56-50 with seven minutes left when it began to make its move, getting seven points from Warren and five from Graham during an 18-7 burst to close the game.
