After managing to take down Ole Miss for the third time this season, Missouri got another shot at LSU in the second round. The 12-seeded Tigers played a complete game against the Rebels yesterday, and they were looking to keep that momentum going against an LSU team looking to bolster its NCAA Tournament seeding with a strong showing in the conference tournament.
In their February meeting (the only matchup of the year), LSU shot 51% from the field and Mizzou turned the ball over 19 times in a 20-point defeat. Now, at a neutral site, both sides aimed to advance to the quarterfinals.
