The first four national championship competitors will be determined today from two meets that, in the beautiful wisdom of NCAA, will overlap for some reason. It’s fine, I didn’t want to see it anyway.
The elimination of Michigan in the regional semifinals has allowed some breathing room for Oklahoma and Alabama to enter as favorites, while Arkansas outscoring Kentucky in the semifinal has tightened that one considerably.

Oklahoma another 49.800 on beam, a beautiful rotation with only minimal things, but when you’re giving 10s out to Smith for an obvious balance check, it makes all the scores seem like BS.

FINAL
LSU198.250
Arkansas 197.825
Kentucky 197.475
Minnesota 197.400
That Kentucky beam rotation will stick in my mind from this one. Scores were jumping on beam, so the total is going to look solid in retrospect, but they had three big wobbles out of six routines and it stunted what they could do, competed to two big wobbles for Minnesota, and one big dropped wobble for Arkansas.
Please note: the judges have changed to different events from 1st round
I’m Team Ultimate Chaos and will be rooting for all the unseeded teams to advance
Although Oklahoma getting the 199 in a regional final would also be quite the wild turn of events
As an Ohio State fan, I’m just so proud of how this team has competed all year. Harris/Vetter have been rocks this year and the youth of this team makes me hopeful for the future.
I think OU and Bama will advance, but if OSU can pull the upset, I’m buying a ticket to Fort Worth tonight!
Ohio State hit every routine in both regional competitions (I think they did the same last year). Absolutely incredible meet and to do it all in enemy territory where the “home” fans are hoping you lose. Way to go Buckeyes! I honestly think this team can breakthrough to Nationals in one of the next couple of years. As an Oklahoma fan, I hope they get a regional without OU next year.
They have beautiful gymnastics and great floor choreo!
I’m cheering for anyone but OK. I don’t dislike them; I’d just prefer to see someone else win the Final Four.
Ok-so OU is going. They’re through beam-the nervy event, and the rest is insane for them. But I’m rooting for chaos. I want Luisa Blanco through for the AA if Alabama doesn’t make it. I kinda want Ohio State to upset Alabama.
If Bama doesn’t go, I think Gabby Wilson of Michigan gets the AA spot. Blanco didn’t compete AA in the regional semis.
AA qualifiers are based on yesterday. Gabby Wilson will go as long as Oklahoma advances, if not it’ll be Jordan Bowers. Luisa will go on bars if Alabama doesn’t make it
Well, Ragan had a balance check on beam and still gets 10s, then at least two on floor and gets 9.95. I guess all is normal in NCAA judging.
I kinda wish all 6 scores would count in the post-season. I hate that only half of the regular season matters for NQS and that each team gets one “free” mistake per rotation. I’m fine with 5/6 in the regular season, but everything should matter in post-season.
Compare Faith’s 9.8 to the vaults at the CAL regional…
To be fair, just compare it to some of the Ohio State and Penn State vaults . . . Not the same scoring.
Does the female commentator at Fayetteville wear dentures?
What’s the point of your comment? Why be rude?!?! I hope you don’t always live your life this way.
She sounds like someone w/ dentures that are coming loose. It’s annoying. You don’t have to like it, but it’s not rude. It’s just a fact.
As a speech therapist, your comment is rude and completely uncalled for. I have clients who have been on the receiving end of comments like yours. Trust me when I say your words can have a lasting negative impact. I had a client who was mid-50s and remembered a comment made to them when they were 16, and just thinking about it brought them to tears.
Your words matter and there was no need for your comment.
Why even have the competition if you’re just gonna hand OU the win with this stupid high scores?
Well, we know Arkansas is advancing after that Leah Smith vault score
HooTEN..amazing
MN vaulting, meh. Eli’s shiny gold shirt…Wow!
Ella Hodges closing out with a 9.975 on floor. The two judges that went 9.95 should live with shame and regrets! Hodges deserved that 10 (or at least one in her career — would have happened in a different leo).
Jones with a 9.85 for Ark on beam with a break?!?!
They switched it to a 9.8. Still seems a little high!
No Mya floor at Finals 😭😭
Is it Mya H or Raena W at national floor finals for individual wahhh
