   TAMPA, FL - The LSU fighting Tigers advanced to the quarterfinals of the SEC Tournament as they defeated Missouri 76-68 on Thursday afternoon in Tampa.
   LSU dominated Mizzou all game long, leading by as much as 25 points, before late lazy play allowed Missouri to go on a huge run over the final six minutes to make the contest look closer than it actually was. 


   Five Tigers finished the game with double digits in scoring with Tari Eason leading the team with 19 points. Darius Days finished with 16 points. Efton Reid had a big second half finishing with 12 points. Xavier Pinson and Eric Gaines both finished with 11 points each while Brandon Murray added 7 points on the day. 
   LSU finished 28-50 from the floor for 56%, while hitting 5-19 from three point land for 26%. The Tigers shot well from the charity stripe sinking 15-18 for 83%.
   LSU's suffocating defense forced Missouri into 24 total turnovers that lead to 29 LSU points. The Tigers will need to do a better job on the boards if they plan on advancing further into the tournament as Mizzou outrebounded LSU, 32-24. 


   LSU started the contest taking a 12-2 lead over the first five minutes as the suffocating Bayou Bengals defense forced Missouri into several turnovers and shot clock violations.
   The Tigers would then go on a 20-7 run to increase their lead to 32-9 with 6:34 left in the first half as Mizzou had
more turnovers at this point in the game then points (Nine turnovers/seven points).
   LSU would hold a 16 point lead at halftime, 39-23.

   Missouri would outscore LSU 10-4 over the first four minutes of the second half to cut what was once a 25 point lead by LSU down to ten, 43-33.
   But the Mizzou run woke the Bayou Bengals up as they would answer going on a 22-12 run over the next ten minutes as Efton Reid began to punish the black and gold Tigers under the basket, scoring 10 points during his 11 minutes on the floor in the second half, extending the LSU lead to 65-45 at the 6:16 mark.
   LSU however became complacent, struggled to put Missouri away late as lazy and sloppy play allowed Mizzou to outscore the Bayou Bengals, 23-11 over the final six minutes of the contest.
