TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- Levi Randolph scored 20 points and made three 3-pointers to lead Alabama to a 62-49 victory over Missouri on Wednesday night.

The Crimson Tide (14-8, 4-5 Southeastern Conference) bounced back from two straight losses to hand the Tigers (7-15, 1-8) their eighth consecutive defeat.

Retin Obasohan scored 12 points and Shannon Hale had 10 for Alabama. Randolph, whose career-high of 33 points came in the last meeting with Missouri, made 3 of 6 3-pointers.

Keanau Post was the Tigers' only double-digit scorer, finishing with 11 points. Leading scorer Johnathan Williams III had only one of his seven points in the second half.

Tarrant missed his second straight game with a lower right leg injury.

Missouri took the lead briefly on Wright's 3-pointer to open the second half but shortly after that Alabama scored six straight points to take control back. The Tigers couldn't put together any kind of run after that and failed to reach 50 points for the second time this season.

Alabama built a 39-30 on Randolph's 3-pointer with 13:25 left. Wes Clark responded with a 3 for the Tigers and Post added a basket and foul shot.

Randolph pushed the lead to double digits on a 3-pointer and subsequent dunk with 8:00 left. That was the Tide's last field goal of the game but the final margin was still the biggest.
