Meghan Perkins scored 17 points, Daisha Simmons added 13 and Alabama beat Mississippi State 63-36 in the play-in game of the women’s SEC Tournament on Wednesday night. The Crimson Tide (13-17 ) won their first SEC Tournament game since 2005. Alabama, the lowest seed at No. 13, will face fifth-seeded South Carolina today.
