Auburn upsets rival No. 12 Alabama

Korvotney Barber scored 18 points and Frank Tolbert added 17 to lead Auburn to an 81-57 upset of No. 12 Alabama on Tuesday night, ending a seven-game losing streak to the Crimson Tide.

The Tigers (13-8, 3-3 Southeastern Conference) scored the first eight points of the second half to overcome a 36-35 deficit and shot 58 percent.

They hadn't beaten Alabama (15-4, 2-3) since 2003 and have now won two games against ranked teams in a six-day stretch after ending an 0-for-15 stretch against then-No. 22 Tennessee.

Josh Dollard added 16 points for Auburn, which held Alabama to just 21 points after halftime. Tolbert made 6-of-7 shot, the only miss an errant 3-pointer in the final two minutes.
