LSU basketball snaps losing streak, gets first SEC win vs Missouri
LSU basketball snapped its losing streak and got its first SEC win of the season on Saturday as the Tigers beat Missouri 78-70.
Once again, LSU (13-5, 1-4 SEC) started strong and took a double-digit lead into the half. But once again, it let its opponent hang around in the final period of regulation.
LSU extended its lead to 14 points early in the second half. While Missouri (13-5, 3-2) never led, it gradually whittled the lead down from that high-water mark, at one point closing the deficit to just one possession.
Unlike Wednesday’s game against Kentucky, though, LSU managed to hold the lead down the stretch. This time, the offense calmly made its free throws in the final minutes, slowly putting Missouri’s hopes of a comeback out of reach.
LSU basketball has hot start once again
For the second straight game, LSU got off to a dominant start. On Saturday, it took a 10-0 lead while the defense swamped Missouri.
It took nearly six minutes of game time for Missouri to even get on the board. By halftime, LSU led by 10 — the team’s second consecutive double-digit lead at the break.
Sutton erupts offensively
A big part of that offensive explosion was Marquel Sutton. After a strong performance against Kentucky, Sutton had arguably his best game, and certainly his best half, since joining LSU this season.
The fifth-year forward scored 19 first-half points, already his most in any game in nearly a month, and more than the rest of his teammates combined in the opening period.
He didn’t get as many opportunities in the second, but still finished with 26 points, a new season-high.
Rediscovered 3-point stroke
Against Kentucky, LSU shot 47.4% from beyond the arc, showing the offense’s potential from deep. The team kept it up on Saturday.
Against Missouri, LSU made 10 of its 26 3-point attempts. This marked the first time in 11 games the team made at least 10 of its 3s. Leading the way was Max Mackinnon, who made a team-high four shots from deep.
What’s next?
LSU will take on Florida at 6 p.m. Tuesday in Gainesville, Florida.

Judge denies Missouri attorney general’s bid to halt 7-OH kratom sales by American Shaman
A Jackson County judge on Friday denied Missouri Attorney General Catherine Hanaway’s attempt to immediately stop Kansas City-based CBD American Shaman and several affiliated companies from selling kratom products.
The motion for a temporary restraining order, which was filed alongside the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services, took particular aim at the more potent 7-OH products, which Hanaway argues are “hazardous opioids” banned by state and federal law.
Jackson County Circuit Judge Charles McKenzie’s ruling Friday stated there are “competing affidavits” from experts on both sides of the argument, following a hearing on the motion earlier this week.
“The court cannot find, based on the oral argument of the parties, the respective competing affidavits presented and the pleadings, whether the plaintiff is likely to succeed on the merits at this juncture in the proceedings in order for the court to grant relief in the form of a temporary restraining order,” McKenzie’s order states.
Hanaway’s argument was backed by sworn statements from an undercover narcotics officer with the highway patrol who said 7-OH is being used to cut fentanyl and a woman whose brother died from a kratom overdose. Her office also submitted a FDA report that points to 7-OH as “a potent opioid that poses an emerging public health threat” and state health data showing synthetic 7-OH was involved in at least 197 Missouri deaths.
American Shaman submitted statements of its own from five toxicology and addiction experts, who largely said there wasn’t enough evidence to show that 7-OH and kratom posed a public health risk. One who researched narcotics said she had never heard of 7-OH being used to cut fentanyl.
Company owner Vince Sanders’ statement detailed how he came up with the idea to create 7-OH products, which now has an “enormous” demand particularly among people who need pain management.
Sanders could not be reached for comment about the ruling Friday.
McKenzie denied a temporary restraining order “without prejudice,” meaning that he would like to see more evidence.
“It is because of this finding that the court determines it necessary to hold an additional hearing,” he wrote, “where it can consider the parties respective positions with the potential of testimonial evidence and other properly introduced evidence, all as more fully developed by the parties, in order to further analyze these issues.”
The judge will consider “other injunctive relief sought in the pleadings at a future hearing to consider the issues,” the order states.
Hanaway filed a similar lawsuit Thursday against Relax Relief Rejuvenate Trading LLC, and its owners Dustin Robinson and Ajaykumar Patel.
The group received a warning letter from the FDA for producing 7-OH products last year similar to one received by Shaman Botanicals.
“This is another step in our ongoing crackdown on kratom manufacturers who flout the law and try to justify endangering Missourians in the name of profit,” Hanaway said in a press release Thursday. “Our mission is to safeguard Missourians from unregulated and addictive substances, and we will continue to pursue every legal tool available to protect public health and safety.”
