NCAA 2024 NCAA Nationals: Semi Finals (4/18/24) and Final Four on the Floor (4/20/24)

I stand by my earlier statement: fuck Jay Clark.

 

[Sasha]

Not sure what Jay Clark is unsure about. Is Wong going to get an 11?

 

[arabiandoublefront]

We're just going to ignore Leanne Wong on floor. WTF?!?

ETA: Finally.

 

[Caledi]

Great for Cal to come in second in their first ever finals appearance. The broadcast really didn't care about them lol.

 

[arabiandoublefront]

Can someone explain Cal's bar scores to me?

I feel like they were too low compared to the other teams.

 

[CameliasFingerpaint]

At least it wasn’t Utah. The scoring the final rotation was crazy. How were all of those Utah vaults breaking 9.9 with steps and hops? Why was Cal so lowballed on bars?

 

[MaryClare]

I like Jay Clark

 

[Beamer]

If you compare the BB scores in the Semis, LSU's are too high relative to Cal. And again in Finals. Cal also got the short end of the stick on UB compared to LSU.

 

[Sasha]

Well, not thrilled but I did get my wish of anyone but Utah.

 

[MaryClare]

Cal seemed a little underscored on bars, but they were overscored on beam

 

[Beamer]

Congrats to LSU!! Finally a title.

Was rooting for Cal, but rooting for LSU second.

Aleah and Haleigh with their teammates makeup on their leos

Why white is a bad idea.

I agree they were overscored on beam in a vacuum but not relative to the rest of the meet. Look at the Florida beam routines that were scoring similarly.

Again, I still think LSU deserved the win. I just don't think they needed to be propped up like that. It reminds me of 2018 NCAA nationals.

Still great to see a program first and a new team take the title. They are a great team as well and had a great night

 

[Angelika]

I like Jay Clark

Like him... or like like him?

 

[arabiandoublefront]

I definitely think it was LSU's day, as well, and I am happy. I wanted a first time champion, and I like how they have real difficulty on floor. Kinda curious what this means for Dunne's stock even if she didn't compete at this meet at all.

 

[CameliasFingerpaint]

Not to mention Memorial Day is still 5 weeks away!

 

[MaryClare]

It felt like it was being set up for Utah rather than LSU

I haven’t gone through the whole roster, but I think LSU have more gymnasts who didn’t compete tonight than did
