Mizzou WBB hangs around with No. 6 LSU, ultimately falls short 71-60

Now tell me if you’ve heard THIS story:

Mizzou builds a lead against a top-20 team, holding tough at the half. But things fall apart after a poor third quarter, as Mizzou (12-13, 1-9 SEC) can’t push back enough in the fourth.

This should sound familiar, as their 71-60 loss to No. 6 LSU (24-1, 9-1 SEC) marked the THIRD STRAIGHT TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED.

“We keep talking about being able to put 40 minutes together, and I thought that maybe two and a half of the third, we had some tough possessions defensively, but we regrouped,” head coach Robin Pingeton said.
