(AP) -- Jabari Brown hit a career-high five straight 3-pointers after an early miss and Phil Pressey responded from a shaky first half with 11 points and 13 assists, leading No. 10 Missouri to an 84-68 victory over Alabama in its SEC debut Tuesday night.
 
Trevor Releford had a career-best 26 points with three 3-pointers and topped 1,000 points for Alabama (8-6, 0-1), which has lost six of eight.

Coach Anthony Grant lost for the first time in seven career conference openers, three at VCU and four at Alabama.
 
Brown scored a career high 22 points on 7-for-11 overall shooting, three days after making only one of nine attempts in a two-point victory over Bucknell.

The Oregon transfer has scored in double figures four of five games since becoming eligible at the semester break.
 
Earnest Ross added a season-best 19 points for Missouri (12-2, 1-0).
