What to Know
The LSU Tigers are 8-0 against the Missouri Tigers since March of 2016, and they’ll have a chance to extend that success Wednesday. LSU and Mizzou will face off in an SEC battle at 9 p.m. ET at Mizzou Arena. LSU won both of their matches against Mizzou last season (75-55 and 76-68) and is aiming for the same result this time around.
LSU came up short against the Texas Tech Red Raiders this past Saturday, falling 76-68. A silver lining for LSU was the play of guard Adam Miller, who shot 5-for-10 from beyond the arc and finished with 20 points.
Meanwhile, while not quite a landslide, the game between Mizzou and the Iowa State Cyclones this past Saturday was still a pretty decisive one as Mizzou wrapped it up with a 78-61 win at home. It was another big night for Mizzou’s guard Kobe Brown, who dropped a double-double on 20 points and 12 rebounds.
LSU is the clear underdog, so they’re hoping it’s the size of the fight that determines this one. Those sticking with them against the spread have guts, to put it politely, as the squad has let down bettors in their past seven games.
LSU is now 12-9 while Mizzou sits at 16-5. A couple offensive stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: LSU is stumbling into the contest with the 37th fewest points per game in college basketball, having accrued only 66.6 on average. Mizzou’s offense has more to brag about, as they they rank ninth in college basketball when it comes to points per game, with 83.1 on average. So the cards are definitely stacked in their favor.
