NCAA 2025 NCAA Regionals Discussion

So, WTF happened to Clemson in the second half?! (But lol, I hate Clemson)

 

[Laura722]

OU didn't make it out of the 9.800's on vaulting.

 

[cftmoonlight79]

Was it bad landings again?

Gravity prevailed and they just did their mid-tier execution which would be hammered scoring-wise in comparison to Florida and Oregon State.

Is it just me or does Oklahoma look tired?
Was it a good strategy to use 5 AAers to start the year and gradually go to 4?
Is it a lack of depth that they needed to go so AA heavy?

When Oklahoma was starting to become top tier favorites, they prided themselves on not having any AAers.

Fletcher and Scheible's injuries certainly reduced their depth. I thought we'd see more of Slade but she hasn't been looking great and, when they've put Siegfeldt in, she's been inconsistent. My best guess is that they're sticking with the top 6 on each event and, for this year, that's meant a lot of AAers. But I can't imagine that was their strategy to focus on AAers. That coaching staff is too smart to take that risk unnecessarily.

The other thing I wonder is if the move into the SEC and the debacle at Semis last year has put them under a lot of new/unfamiliar pressure and contributed to them being tired along with the AAers that have been putting up the bulk of the routines every week.

Bar scoring way off at Penn State final

Bar scoring way off at Penn State final

What's going on? Overscoring?

 

[RedBirdie]

Yes, generous scoring on bars. The only thing that matters in the dismount, apparently.

 

[RedBirdie]

Frankie Price has a scooter. Likely an Achilles and not a repeat ACL.

 

[irichluck21]

With one rotation left it looks good for LSU and MSU.
LSU 148.675, MSU 148.650! (chasing LSU), Kentucky 148.225, Arkansas 148.125.
MSU going to beam (deep breath). LSU on vault should pull away. Kentucky to floor and Arkansas to bars. As long as MSU does its usual on beam they should qualify.

 

[RedBirdie]

Michigan State could have beaten LSU, but then Gabby Stephens fell on beam. 198.05-198.00

 

[irichluck21]

Going to make for an exciting NCAA semi final.
Congrats to MSU, 1st time to Nationals sine 1988!

 

[Laura722]

Great seeing Konnor back on floor. Congrats to Michigan State!

That's exactly what it was. KJ has already said she never expects to use as many AAers as she did this year again but thats just how it worked out due to the injuries they've had and having so many freshman who weren't ready to compete yet.

 

[dweiss324]

Not reseeding for nationals really bothers me. I find it unnecessarily repetitive.

Congrats to MSU and LSU. Nationals ya the potential to be reeeeeally really close between all 8

 

[RedBirdie]

Brooklyn Moors floor scores were 9.85, 9.95, 9.95, 10. What was that one judge smoking?

 

[RedBirdie]

I don't know why UCLA puts Chiles after Moors. Really should be the other way around.

McCallum goes 10 on bars.

 

[irichluck21]

Michigan State will have its BEST ever finish of all time at Nationals!
In 1988 (the only time the team made Nationals, they finished 12th) so 2025 will be a new team record. Could they make the Final Four on the Floor?

 

[irichluck21]

Denver!! Leading after 1 rotation.
