The LSU men’s basketball team (22-10, 10-9), cruised against Missouri in its SEC Tournament second round matchup 76-68 and earned a spot in the quarterfinal round.
If LSU wants to extend its stay in Tampa into the weekend they will have to do something they’ve come awfully close to pulling off but came up short both times: beat Arkansas, the No. 4 seed in the tournament.
LSU had Arkansas dead to rights in Baton Rouge back on January 15 but the offense inexplicably went cold, scoring two points over the game’s final nine minutes and the Hogs rallied back to pull off the win.
