BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) Darius Days scored a career-high 20 points and grabbed 10 rebounds as LSU defeated Missouri State 73-58 on Friday.
It was the third double-double of the season for Days, who has scored in double figures in each game.
''I just was in the right place at the right time and my team was finding me,'' Days said. ''Javonte (Smart) saw me in the corner. Skylar (Mays) saw me in the corner. Emmitt (Williams) got me a couple passes under the bucket. We're jelling better. Everybody is starting to play their role.''
The Tigers (5-2), who led for most of the game, had their lead trimmed to 47-45 seven minutes into the second half before pulling away on 14-2 run over the next four minutes.
