With Missouri having a first round bye for the SEC Tournament we spent most of the day today watching other teams play. Fortunately for the Tigers, they got their answer on who they would face quickly, as the Kentucky versus LSU game was the first one up.
The Wildcats won, pulling away in the second half for a mostly easy win, although LSU made them work all the way to the final buzzer.
So it’s Tigers-Wildcats for the right to advance on and take on the Conference champions, the Florida Gators on Friday.

Mizzou and Kentucky have only played once this year, in the second game of the SEC season. The Tigers took down Kentucky with a dramatic come from behind win in the final four minutes of the game. It was the Tigers first win at Rupp Arena.
I’ll update the below chart some the rest of the day.
