2024 NCAA Regionals (NOW! 4/3/24)

OU need to fix up their vault.

Didn't matter today but they cant rely on going lights out on the other 3 if they want to win.

Idk, did you see last season's final? If OU is putting up 49.8s in the other 3 rotations, they will be just fine. I don't see this nationals being very exciting at all unless it is self created drama (counting a fall). Maybe the battle for 3rd could be tight. Its going to be OU then LSU maybe .200 - .300 behind, then Cal and company another .100 - .200 behind them.

UCLA will rebound. These things happen. Michigan is out too. LSU went out a few years back.
Just speaks to the level of NCAA gymnastics.

2nd year in a row Auburn went out in the semi-finals, so if anyone needs to worry it would be Graba. Was it his coaching that got Auburn to the Finals in 2022 or was it Suni and Goburne? They lose a lot of talent next year.

Agreed. UCLA had an impressive year last year with a brand new coaching staff and coming off of the trauma of 2022. They had an inconsistent year this year. The performance in round 2 of regionals was sub par but it was not a meltdown (like Auburn had last year). It came down to one tenth of a point and the 4 scores they counted in the 9.7s.

It takes time to rebuild a program and for a new coaching staff to find their groove. If they tried to shakeup the staff now, it would be knee jerk and would cause even more chaos for the program.

Arkansas got several gifts last night. While ultimately Kentucky gave it away with their three beam errors, I thought it was a lot closer than the .4 that separated them.
LSU and Arkansas are the correct two teams to advance, but gutted for Kentucky, especially because Arkansas was not originally supposed to be against them.

Floor hasn't been OU's worst event for a few years.

I suppose you could argue it's been vault this year. I was going by the fact that floor is the only event in which they're not first in the league. Though that is partly contingent on other teams' performances, to be fair.

Utah counted a fall on bars in the first rotation.

What happened with Schulte's UB? I missed them and the score says 9.725.

Little messy on pak and large step on landing. It will be interesting to see if the bars scores stay tight...

 

[GoldyGopher]

Yikes. Grace off on beam for utah...Utah looks rattled.

 

[Sasha]

MSU having a bit of a time on bars. Are the routines as struggly as the scores suggest?

No but steps on landing and rushed handstands.

 

[Laura722]

Not a good sign for Michigan State that Utah passed them counting a missed routine.

I reckon they could still easily pull ahead of Utah, but getting into second seems like a stretch.

 

[GoldyGopher]

On Bars, the only thing that seems to matter is the dismount landing.

 

[GoldyGopher]

good to see vault scoring is staying consistent....oh wait.

 

[Laura722]

A 9.9 for Nyugen's 1.5, which was short.

 

[CameliasFingerpaint]

Utah should be fine qualifying to nationals. I’m putting that in the same bucket as Skinner, Roberson, and Aly UB scores.

 

[GoldyGopher]

A 9.9 for Nyugen's 1.5, which was short.

and Florida should absolutely be leading at this point; they don't need the help.

 

[GoldyGopher]

How was Wong's vault a 9.925????
