LSU took their halftime lead into the second half with much confidence of pulling out a victory.  Runs by Missouri made an LSU victory questionable at times.  The game went back and forth but the LSU tigers would not give up their lead.  Missouri fought hard to stay close and at times it looked as though they would catch the streaky home standing tigers.  The LSU basketball team won a close one and found a way to survive a late comeback.  A huge win in the Pmac.

Anthony Hickey and Andre Stringer were huge tonight.  Anthony Hickey had 20 points, 4 assists, 2 rebounds, and 2 steals in his 38 minutes tonight.  Andre Stringer had 18 points, 5 rebounds, and 2 assists while playing 39 minutes.  Johnny O’Bryant III played 38 minutes including 2 clutch free throws late to go along with his 14 points, 11 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal, and 1 blocked shot.

LSU moves to 11-7, 2-5 SEC and will play at Mississippi State Saturday night.  Missouri falls to 15-5, 4-3 SEC.
