Powerful tumbling. She will shine at LSU!
Great meet for the Tigers. If LSU can work on sticking their routines, I believe they can give OK a run for the win next week. Sticking routines is standard at OK. They stick with deep squats and the judges award them.
Konnor has a "metal glitch" on that leap series. That has given her fits on most of her beam routines this year. I hate this for her.
Konnor's bar routine should have been a 10 period!
I am hoping the team is on with great focus and sticks this coming Friday at the PMAC. They need a strong score with just two home meets left after Friday before the SEC Championship and post season. There are 4/5 teams in the SEC that are competing to be in the top four. It has been fruit basket turnover so far. The team needs to live up to the talent and potential they have as competitors to set some distance in scores from other teams. We all know this team is capable.
Not our finest showing tonight. Konnor is struggling period. Heaven help this talented gymnast.

Florida lost to Missouri 196.50 to Missouri's 197.20.
Oklahoma 198.2 It is hard to overcome OK on their turf. They always get the scores even without sticks.
Florida goes to Missouri this weekend. Missouri is always a challenge for any visiting team. We'll see how the Gators fare with the judging and commentators.

Oklahoma is home and will host Alabama. We can use another 198/198+ to bolster our average until NQS kicks in and we can drop that 196.85 from Georgia. That score is hurting LSU's average for now.
I agree, Konnor is catching her "church release" on bars way too close with bent arms and beam was a mess. She is awesome when she hits so it has to be nerves. It is hard to watch this happening with her.
Konnor, Kaliya and Amari all had good double Yuro vaults. These three have a lot of power so I have to wonder if they would control their power better competing their former elite vaults.
Oklahoma scores were wild this early in the season....just saying!
I'll be glad to see Haley Mustari on bars. She has a beautiful routine.
I have always believed that Jay could improve the "practice schedule" and methods of perfecting sticks and leaps for the Tigers. I can see some improvement in a few of our gymnasts.
KJ is demanding and her athletes do not appear to resent the standard that she sets for the team. Her formula works and she will continue to be a successful until she decides to bow out. I know their routines can look robotic but the judges do not seem to ever hold that against them. The Tigers will have plenty of competition within the SEC. Alabama, Florida, Georgia and Oklahoma are looking good this year. It will be a challenge for all teams to make the night session at SEC Championships with all 9 teams in the mix. Nothing is a "given" in this conference.
I agree with you on several points. My concern is the judges did not like the floor music and choreography. The scores with the exception of Konnor and Amari's falls were low in my view. Also, vault is giving me great concern. We need more controlled vaults. Lexi ,Kailin and Amari were the three that showed promise. Where was Molly and Courtney? I have heard Jay say they only do full routines a couple of days each week. That is a concern if you want to perfect movements and sticks. Konnor's confidence on beam has taken a hit. I hope they will move her back in the line up if that will help her. Some gymnasts feel too much pressure being the anchor. She was awesome on bars and I hope that will help her going forward.
Well, We have some coming from behind to do. Looks like we will probably drop to 4th in the standings. There were a lot of 197+(s) this weekend from SEC Teams.
Madison did not get the scores from these judges tonight. Anyway, Jay said the girls only had two practices this week. The SEC will be a challenge this year within the conference itself. Georgia is much improved.
Where is Haley Mustari and will we ever see Zoe Miller this year?
There is so much hate for Jay on Reddit just because he questioned the value given to Lexie's beam score. Reddit has some of the most vile posters of any social media platform that I have come across. Most posters are for pacific west teams and despise the SEC. The moderators allow foul language and the demeaning of individual gymnasts. It is sad the hate that is dumped on this forum. :rolleyes:
Konnor 's bar routine is so nice but she struggles to stick the dismount most every time. Wish she could try something else.
