Missouri responded to a dominant first half from LSU with a furious second half push of its own, allowing the Tigers to claim an 81-76 win in Baton Rouge on Wednesday.
This was Mizzou’s first ever win on the road against LSU, and the victory made this the best season the Missouri program has had since 2013-14.
“We were down for 36 minutes of that game, and we were able to edge out a victory,” Dennis Gates said. “It’s magical, it’s March, it’s madness, all in the same breath. Happy first of the month.”
The Bayou Bengals entered this game shooting at a 33% clip on average from 3-point land.
