NCAA 2026 Regional Finals

This final has been like a splatfest, but just minor splats to make it tense and not actually ruin anyone's chance.

A 9.9 for Mika on floor? That's insane.

 

[RedBirdie]

Feels like the fix is in for UCLA on floor

 

[Laura722]

Minnesota beats Utah. I think this is the year Utah doesn't make Nationals for the first time.

 

[RedBirdie]

Hell of a time for Minnesota to finally hit the hell out of a road meet.

 

[RedBirdie]

I think Minnesota and UCLA are in, regardless of what else happens.

 

[cftmoonlight79]

Damn I really wanted UCLA out. Oh well

Did Chiles actually deserve the floor 10?

Did Chiles actually deserve the floor 10?

You could quibble and go 9.95. but it was good. And the way to floor scores were going, it was going to be a 10.

I'm fine with both Big 10 teams advancing. That was my preferred outcome.

 

[Laura722]

Minnesota is one hell of a team!

Minnesota is one hell of a team!

I'm so happy for them. They were the only team without a fall today and finally put a full meet together. Ski-U-Mah! Go Gophers!

I really really hate Arkansas. But I don’t know why.

Please someone tell me why I hate them so much

It's because they dont point their feet on most of their skills.

 

[BB12]

The Oregon regional is the best I've ever seen. So close the entire time. Scores were very fake by the end by the right teams advanced.

What a rise from Minnesota!!!! Everyone was talking about an upset at this regional but seemed to forget about them. Bama was good but didnt get the floor 9.9s they needed.

But Utah's streak being over is the biggest thing. Wow. The were mid all season but they looked great day 1 and I was sure they would advanced. But the small mistakes added up.

One National semifinal:
(2) LSU
(3) UF
(6) UGA
(7) STAN

The other National semifinal:
(1) OU
(4) UCLA
(9) ARK
(13) MINN

How is it determined which teams get the afternoon semifinal and which teams get the evening semifinal?

It usually matters quite a bit for the AA and Individual Apparatus titles.

Apparently ESPN gets to chose.

The Jordan Chiles factor might come into play and have them put that one in the better time slot but the other semi final is more interesting on paper with them all being top 7 teams so it will be a close call.

UF, LSU, UGA in one semi is a pretty big viewership draw, those are huge fan bases.

I'm not sure about this but I thought the semi final with the number 1 ranked team (Oklahoma) was placed in the evening at nationals and its why they compete on the final day of regionals as well.
