NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Wayne Chism had 16 points and 15 rebounds as No. 15 Tennessee beat Mississippi 76-65 in the Southeastern Conference tournament quarterfinals on Friday.

J.P. Prince added 17 points for Tennessee (25-7), which is 7-0 this season when Chism gets a double-double.

The Vols' win sets up a Saturday rematch with their most bitter rival, No. 2 Kentucky, which overcame an 11-point deficit to beat Alabama 73-67 earlier Friday.

With the teams tied at 44, Tennessee went on a 9-0 run punctuated by a jump shot by Cameron Tatum to take a 53-44 lead with 13:21 left.

Mississippi (21-10) answered with back-to-back 3s by Chris Warren from opposite sides of the baseline and a free throw by Trevor Gaskins -- to trim the Vols' lead to 2.

Tennessee used free throws and paint points to pull away as the Rebels went 5 minutes without hitting a field goal.

Chris Warren led Mississippi with 16 points.

Tennessee will face Kentucky Saturday at 1 pm EST on ABC.
