2023 NCAA Nationals (April 13 &15)

[Sasha]

Yeah, it wouldn’t be unreasonable by this season’s standards. I love her Jaegar.

 

[Laura722]

Well this has been so anticlimactic.

 

[rlayt]

It feels like the same old.

 

[Sasha]

I dunno, Florida’s more in it than I expected, which is fun.

 

[Laura722]

We can hope. But they just gave away a 9.95 routine with Leanne botching the landing on that unnecessary arabian double pike.

 

[irichluck21]

Oklahoma did have the regional issues on beam and last year they had issues on floor…so let’s see.
I would argue that VT and UB are their best two pieces.

Florida put up 6 10.0 sv on VT Thursday and bars is their best piece.

 

[Sasha]

Yeah, that pass is trouble. She never seems quite on with it.

But 9.9 for DiCello, OU is 0.25 ahead. Which is a lot, if they keep hitting like this.

 

[rlayt]

I’m still hoping Florida will beat OU but they do tend to have those mistakes at the worst times.

 

[Sasha]

Yep, their mental game is not at OU’s level for sure.

 

[Sasha]

Sounds like KJ Johnson is out again. Not surprising, but I also wouldn’t have been willing to gut it out for the final.

ETA: I meant to say that I wouldn’t be shocked if she toughed it out.

 

[irichluck21]

Halfway point

 

[Beamer]

Utah already more than a fall behind.

 

[Beamer]

OU going to beam… Universe, please do your thing.

 

[irichluck21]

Florida only .250 down without Thomas on those two event is actually encouraging. They aren’t out yet. The need to drill some vaults though with OU on beam.

 

[RedBirdie]

So…i’m not missing much, eh?

 

[irichluck21]

So…i’m not missing much, eh?

IDK…I personally think it is exciting and I am on the edge of my seat.

 

[rlayt]

So…i’m not missing much, eh?

Not much

 

[Sasha]

Nah. Regionals were more exciting.

 

[irichluck21]

If Thomas can 10 here on vault and again on bars…just saying!

 

[Laura722]

I think Florida has been showing year after year they are great in the regular season, but lack the mental toughness in postseason.

Okay, now that I said that, prove me wrong in the next two rotations.
