That was 2 evenly matched teams. I had LSU slightly ahead but didn’t expect LSU to beat OU in their home gym. Even the head coach was telling the team to compete and not look at the scores, he knew that we would come up a little short due to the bias of the OU judges. The score should have been much closer. LSU outperformed OU in 2 of the events yet the judges had them behind in all 4 events.

Jay has always said that if you don’t win by more than .3 as the home team, you really haven’t won the meet at all because neutral site judges neutralize that gap with scoring. We were within .2 of them, WITHOUT our typical bar and floor anchors that typically score 9.925+ and without Konnor in the 5 spot on beam. Yes she has had some struggles so far this season but we know what she’s capable of when she’s ON. Not to mention, regardless of our ranking going into post season (which should have us as a number one seed for regionals regardless), we don’t have to travel for regionals so that puts us at a significant advantage over oklahoma before nationals in terms of training, rest and scoring

At least in the grand scheme of things when it comes to post season scoring and rankings, this score will end up getting dropped for them and we’ll get to count this road score

more like the judges are hosing us

We could potentially chip away at their lead a little bit if we hit floor normally, even with no Kaliya anchoring

Lexi is low key so good. Leadoff in three events and basically taking one for the team signing up to be underscored on three events.

No offense but that mindset is bullshite and has the potential to lose us a national title every year we keep dwelling on it. The year we won, Sierra led us off with a 9.95 on beam (which one could argue for a ten on that routine). OU, Florida, UCLA, and Utah have found ways to win titles with their leadoff routines scoring 9.9+ on each event every week (sometimes going even as high as a 9.975 or a 10 in one case). If anyone is “signing up to be underscored in the leadoff spot” on any event, it’s because they showed a little bit of doubt and nerves and gave the judges a reason to put pen to paper and take a deduction, even if we know and believe it shouldn’t be taken

Just noticed the Leo’s don’t have LSU or Tigers on them only an SEC logo

No specific reason for that other than these were the leos the team debuted for SEC Championships in 2025. Those don’t always have LSU, Tigers, or a Tiger on them (for example the wonder woman leo we wore in 2019 and the remake of it from 2024). Just depends on what our GK reps decide to do when designing it

Even with just a 197.525, we should still move ahead of Florida in the rankings after this week, or closer to them at least

Wish he’d do his research before commenting a meet. 90% of the shite he says is not accurate (like saying Amari’s floor career high is now 9.95 when she scored 9.975 TWICE last year). You would think he would’ve learned a thing or two after commenting our non conference meets all these years

1.050 point lead not a 1.5 point lead. HUGEEEEEEE difference there between the scores

Unfortunately. Pulling Mustari for Jeffrey was the wrong move IMO which lead to our heavy hitters at 5 and 6 to struggle. But at least we didn’t completely shite the bed like Florida did at Missouri

You must’ve missed Jeff back on bars in place of Mustari AND the exhibition routines that will be shown today (Vic and Nina on vault, Nina on bars, Madi and Emily on beam and Lexi on floor). That counts for something in my book
