Settle in. Or, be like me and expend all your energy during the first session of Big Tens and then spend the next 7 hours in a score-resenting stupor. Either one.

Major events timeline

• Is Iowa still alive? – At the conclusion of the first session of Big Tens (2:30 ET/11:30 PT), we’ll know if Iowa is still in the three-way race for the final regionals spot or not. If Iowa scores under 196.250, then Iowa is out.
• Did Georgia get a seeding? – At the conclusion of SECs part 1 (5:30 ET/2:30 PT), we’ll know if Georgia got a regionals seeding (scoring 197.450+) or is at least still in it with a shot (scoring 196.700+)
• Is George Washington still alive? – At the conclusion of EAGLs (6:00 ET/3:00 PT), we’ll know if George Washington is still in the race for the final regionals spot. If GW scores under 196.475, GW is out.
• Did Minnesota clinch a seeding? Is Ohio State in it? – At the conclusion of the second session of Big Tens (7:30 ET/4:30 PT), we’ll know if Minnesota clinched one of the two remaining seeded spots (scoring 197.200+) or not, and whether Ohio State still has a chance to hang onto 16th place based on their score compared to Georgia’s/Minnesota’s.
• Does Iowa State need to do anything? – By the start of Big 12s (7:30 ET/4:30 PT), we’ll already have final scores from Iowa and George Washington and will know exactly what score, if any score at all, Iowa State needs in order to make regionals.
• Does Oregon State still have a shot? – By the start of Pac-12s (8:00 ET/5:00 PT), we’ll know whether Oregon State can still be seeded or if Minnesota and Georgia closed the door. And, if it’s still possible, we’ll know the exact score required.
• What are the regionals? – At the conclusion of the second sessions of SECs and Pac-12s (10:00 ET/7:00 PT), we’ll know the final rankings of the top 16 teams and where they’ll all be headed for regionals. Allegedly.

Rooting for chaos: If you’re just here for the mess, today you want LSU to pass Cal with some huge 198 while UCLA also passes Michigan for 10th (but no one else), and all the other rankings to stay the same. That would give us the most complicated regionals host conflict to try to resolve in the most dramatic ways.

In addition to Iowa’s result, another thing I’ll be looking out for from the first session of Big Tens is Maryland’s score. Right now, some reasonable regionals projections have Maryland getting smeeshed into the play-in meets despite being ranked 28th, because of TeH gEoGrApHy. If I’m Maryland, even though I’m safe for regionals, I really want to move up in the rankings today, like say ahead of Towson, to try to avoid that play-in.

Illinois goes 49.275 on floor, which is the top rotation score thus far. Everyone else in the 48.9s for this rotation, Penn State having to count a 9.675 on bars, Iowa counting a couple 9.7s on vault. We don’t have a good angle for vault, but from our angle, I’m a little annoyed that the vaults with the best dynamics got the weakest scores.

Takekawa – BB – Illinois – needs 9.950 to tie – side aerial to bhs, nice – switch, wobble before loso will do it – bhs gainer, solid landing, 9.875, so they still have credit though.

Or two of them did. We had one SV of 9.7, one of 9.9, and two of 10 there, with a range of 9.50 to 9.90.

LeBlanc – UB – Maryland – blinds to jaeger, hit – bail, legs together – DLO, little rebound. 9.900

Added the event streams to the Pac-12 links at the top.

Pac-12 Rotation 1

Reeves – UB – ASU – short first hs – blind to jaeger, great height, connects to overshoot – rushes final cast hs – DLo, legs apart, stuck. 9.850

Strom – FX – Arizona – rudi to loso, good height, little foot adjustment on loso – switch to switch ring 1/2 – back 1.5 to front full, controls step. solid. 9.850

Widner – VT – Stanford – following a couple 9.825s – yfull, nice dynamics, bounce back. 9.800

Samiley – UB – ASU – blind to jaeger to overshoot – looks like she hit her feet on the mat – toe circle up to high bar and almost overrotates it but is able to grab the high bar – DLO – stuck

Hitting mat with foot is .3 on bars. Brush can be as low as .05

9.650 seems like they didn’t take the .3 though.

Deets – FX – Arizona – split ring jump full, step back – front lay to front full, under control – split leap full to popa, around – double tuck, nice control, chest up

So does beam exist as an event?

Scharf – UB – Arizona St- maloney with leg break into high pak, solid – close enough on 1/2 turn on low – short hs on high – giant full, late, has to add an extra giant before her double tuck dismount – so a UTL deduction. 9.600

Navarro – BB – Washington – already needing to drop a fall and counting a couple 9.7s – bhs bhs loso, hit with little lean – switch side, hit – full turn, hit – 1.5 dismount, hop forward. 9.800

Roberts – VT – Stanford – Y1.5, solid one, medium hop forward, bit of knees. 9.875

Killough-Wilhelm – BB – Washington – aerial, keeps arms going to bhs loso, step back, turn to the side, arm wave, so I’d say .15 or .20 on that wobble – full turn – switch to split jump, good – side aerial to 1.5, hop forward

Nguyen – VT – Stanford – we couldn’t see it with a teammate in the way (fun!), y1.5 landing takes her off the mat though. 9.725

Clark – UB – Arizona St – hits first hs – blind to jaeger, good feet – hits cast hs on high – pak, small break – 1/2 turn, good finish position – DLO, good position, stuck. Excellent. 9.900

After 1
Arizona 49.200
Stanford 49.125
Arizona St 49.100
Washington 48.875

Arizona State and Washington with troubles in the first rotation. ASU able to get two 9.9s to balance out a counting 9.6, Washington drops the fall but nothing higher than 9.800 on beam.

At Pac-12s, McWilliams with an OOB for Washington

Williams finishes vault for Arkansas with a hit y1.5, little hop forward.

Very much into the score tower on SECN. You don’t need an extra window open to follow the meet.

ASU got a 9.875 from Emily White to go 49.175 on beam.

McLaughlin – BB – Auburn – bhs loso, nice – beat to side aerial, secure – split jump, check, nice straddle position on straddle 1/4 with a check after – should be a broken combo – switch to straddle 1/4, nice combo now – gainer pike, stuck. 9.750

After 2
Stanford 98.350
Arizona 98.325

Missouri kind of a big lead after one thanks to Titarsolej and being the only team not to count a 9.7 or lower in the first rotation.

Smith – VT – Georgia – stuck landing, clean work, just a slight pike and not the most distance/dynamics. 9.850

Linton – UB – Arkansas – hits first hs – toe on to maloney to pak, got it, a little low but OK – hits hs on high – DLO, small step back. 9.850

The relatively non-crazy scores we’ve seen so far in these first sessions (stay tuned, we haven’t hit happy hour yet) is almost just as annoying because it’s like…you’ve been capable of this the whole time?

Huff – FX – Auburn – FTDT, bounce back – switch ring to split leap full, around – front lay to rudi, good rise in rudi, bit of knees –

Drotar – UB – Arkansas – maloney to bail, nice vertical on bail position – DLO, stuck. Good. 9.875

Celestine – BB – Missouri – wolf turn, hit – bhs, pause, no combination – bhs slowly moves through to side aerial but will get credit – front tuck, holds it, little adjusmtent – split jump to split jump 3/4, small arm correction – cat leap to gainer full, holds it. Still goes 9.875

Pac 12 after 3

SEC after 2
Missouri 98.325
Arkansas 98.300
Auburn 98.300

Big development for Oregon State and Ohio State here as Georgia is not going to be able to knock them out of contention for a seeding at this point.

Final rotation at Pac-12s session 1, White up 2nd on vault for ASU following a 9.750, yfull, hit, small bounce back. 9.800

Lin – UB – Washington – after 9.775 for Moody – good first hs – toe on to gienger, high, leg break – connects to overshoot with some pike – FTDT, chest down, step to the side. 9.625

Schumaker for Auburn on vault, pretty large lunge forward on y tucked 1.5. Following a 9.700 yfull for Groth. Schumaker 9.675

Stanford extending the lead with 9.875 and 9.900 on the first two floors. On track to be a competitive counter for them. 

Neault – FX – Stanford – double pike, chest down, presents quickly – switch to split ring leap full – rudi, feet slip out from under her but she retains her footing somehow like a hop – back 1.5 to front lay, hit

Hollingsworth hits a y1.5 with a small step forward to right things for Auburn.

Tubbs 5th on bars for Washington – maloney to bail, good legs together – shorter final cast hs – DLO, legs apart, step back

Scharf – VT – Arizona State – good height on yfull, small slide back. 9.875

Arizona State done on 196.550, which will not be a counting score.

Music issue for Roberts on floor for Stanford, she was just dead on the floor for 8 hours waiting. Finally starts with a very clean front lay to rudi – switch and popa work is nice – double tuck, chest up, under control – fake out wolf turn, stands up to do it regular type. And she gets 9.950.

Pac-12 Session 1 Final
Stanford 197.175
Arizona State 196.550
Arizona 196.475
Washington 196.325

Stanford is the only team that will use that as a counting score, which will almost surely see them move ahead of Georgia in the rankings, currently in 18th.

In qualifying news, George Washington started with a 49.100 on vault, so on track to stay alive so far.

SEC After 3
Missouri 148.025
Arkansas 147.750
Auburn 147.375
Georgia 146.725

Missouri pulling away but Arkansas should have the scoring edge in the last rotation, especially how vault scoring has been going thus far.

Looks like Western Michigan takes the MAC Championship with 196.525 but half a tenth over Ball State.

Groth falls on her Ray for Auburn

Smith – BB – Georgia – aerial to bhs bhs, smooth, good extension – switch, small pause but probably keeps going, to split jump – kickover pike, holds with small lean forward – gainer full, stuck. Another 9.950 for her.

Missouri 197.275
Arkansas 197.050
Auburn 196.775
Georgia 196.075

Not a counting score for any of these teams, so no rankings changes there.

That means no seeding for Georgia, and Minnesota has already clinched a seeding and no longer needs a score today. They’ll finish either 15th or 16th.

The last seeded spot is down to Ohio State, Oregon State, or NC State, and we won’t know who gets it until Oregon State goes.

Trouble for George Washington as they’re already counting a 9.5 and a 9.7 on bars with two people to go.

George Washington ends up going 48.125 on bars, which means they would need preposterous beam and floor scores to get to that 196.475 mark. Iowa State can start to breathe pretty easily now.

Cal 147.800

So Utah’s vault versus UCLA’s bars, huh?

NC State ended up going 197.550, which passes Ohio State. Oregon State needs 196.975 now, which would be a 48.750 on beam.

Just FYI a 49.825 for Oklahoma on floor would give them a 199. And the way things are going…

Rotation 4

Procasky – VT – Kentucky – hits yfull under control landing, comes in a little angled – 9.800

Oregon State counting a fall on beam now.

And Torrez has a 10 for Oklahoma on floor. They’re at 198.850 before Bowers. Can’t get to 199 but can set an NCAA record with 9.950 for Bowers, tie with 9.925.

Kiya Johnson – FX – LSU – good control on FTDT front foot – 1.5 to front lay, nice lay position and landing – double pike, high, little movement of front foot

Bowers opens floor with lovely front 2/1 to front tuck – double pike, under control, good.

9.975 for Kiya Johnson gives LSU the win on 198.075.

Bowers also gets a 10. Oklahoma scores 198.950, the highest score ever. Really thought we were getting a 199 in there for a while.

Harris – UB – UCLA – Ray, nice – small arch in hs on high – bail, good vertical – giant full into DLO, nice landing

Frazier – FX – Cal – DLO, chest a little forward, covers with a quick present – switch ring to switch 1/2 to sissone, lovely – split ring jump, excellent – front tuck through to double tuck, bounce back

FINAL RANKINGS
1 Oklahoma
2 LSU

7 Kentucky
8 Alabama
9 UCLA
10 MIchigan State

16 NC State

We get our chaos with Florida and Arkansas, and Cal and Michigan paired by ranking. So lots of adjustment will have to happen. We could even see Michigan bumped up to 9, Arkansas to 10, UCLA down to 11 and MSU to 12? Going to be verrrrry interesting.
