The Missouri Tigers faced a tough SEC opener on the road against #2 Auburn, ultimately losing by 16 points but covering the spread as underdogs. Despite this, they still hold one of the most surprising upsets of the season by defeating #1 Kansas earlier in their non-conference schedule. The team is led by Mark Mitchell, a 6'9 forward who transferred from Duke and averages 13.3 PPG. Caleb Grill, the top shooter on the team, is shooting 47.9% from three-point range. Tamar Bates, a senior guard, is averaging 12.6 PPG. Missouri is ranked 53rd overall by KenPom, with a strong offensive efficiency ranking of 35th in the country. The team plays at a similar pace as LSU, ranking 143rd in pace of play. With a power ranking of 83, the Tigers excel on offense, hitting an average of 50.88% of their field goals and 36.49% of their three-pointers. On defense, they allow an average of 40.63% of field goals and 33.45% of three-pointers. In their last 3 matchups against LSU, Missouri went 2-1 with a 6-8 ATS record.

Missouri Poised to Dominate LSU After Impressive Road Win Against #2 Auburn

Missouri demonstrated their ability to perform under pressure by covering on the road against #2 Auburn in their SEC opener. They are poised to continue their success against LSU, who recently suffered a home loss to Vanderbilt and are experiencing challenges following the absence of Jalen Reed due to an ACL injury. Missouri, with their experienced roster, has already proven their capability by defeating #1 Kansas in Columbia. They are well-equipped to exploit LSU's vulnerabilities, particularly in the inside game, with Mark Mitchell leading the charge as a dominant power forward. With shooters like Grill and strong finishers like Mitchell and Bates, Missouri is well-positioned to outmaneuver LSU's defense and dominate the paint. After a challenging matchup with Auburn, Missouri is prepared to bounce back and secure a win against LSU. It is advisable to consider Missouri to cover in this game.
