NCAA Women's NCAA Championships Weekend

[Coach Kate]

My husband only very casually follows gymnastics so when I gave him the 8 teams still running he said "I think it's Alabama's year"

Any other predictions or things you're excited to watch?

I'd love for MSU to make four on the floor, so I'll make Oklahoma, LSU, Florida, and MSU my prediction there and I'd be interested to see those teams scored together in one meet.

Tough one right? I feel like LSU and Oklahoma's strength and consistency this year is hard to ignore so I think they will be in the final four.

I'm also cheering for MSU to make it through, but my prediction is going to be LSU, UCLA, Florida and Oklahoma in the final match up.

 

[Coach Kate]

Halfway through the first semifinal and it's pretty lackluster in my opinion. The top seeds are doing good but not great and the other two are making too many mistakes to have much hope for an upset.

Only half done, plenty of opportunity for chaos. Although both UF and OU are through beam. But vault can make a difference, obviously ask OU.

 

[Coach Kate]

Wow! Missouri did it! Oklahoma and Missouri moving on.

 

[gym_dad32608]

And that is why vault is the most recruitable event

 

[littlegirlsdream]

I am so excited for MU!!! 5 years ago head coach recruited saying he had a vision and it would be an up and coming team! I would say that vision worked! I love when the unexpected happens!!

I would say Helen Hu pulled it out for Mizzou...just stuning

 

[gym_dad32608]

Ya, but if Florida didnt have a such a bad vault rotation, it wouldn't of mattered what Hu did.

Don't you be dissing our Queen!

And for reference, it was still at 49+ vault rotation...just too many steppy landings

 

[Coach Kate]

Wow that was so exciting in the second semi final! I think there was a different leader almost every rotation! Utah and UCLA moving on and defending champs have been knocked out.

 

[gymfan1]

I was really expecting LSU to make it but I’m really happy for UCLA!

 

[bookworm]

And Beam Queen Helen prevailed! Looks like taking a year off worked out well for her!

 

[gym_dad32608]

Really shocked with LSU. Their season has to be considered a disappointment.

Now I am afraid we are going to get a dud of a final.

“A dud” ? It’s not like Utah, Oklahoma, Missouri and UCLA are unranked teams that squeaked in… but maybe it won’t be as close as Thursday’s meets were. I definitely think LSU and MSU peaked a little too early but i think the right 4 made it through.

That's my fear as well

Dont get me wrong, all those teams deserved to advance and they are all good teams. It just seems that whenever you have these competition weekends the law of averages catches up to some teams. Meaning a good meet is followed bad meet that trends toward their mean. So it wouldn't be unusual if some of those sticks that the teams had suddenly weren't there and then we end up with a dud meet.

 

[gymfan1]

Does anyone know if there will be a youtube replay of nationals finals like there was last year?

 

[NYGymfamily]

Oklahoma reclaims the title! Pretty exciting final.

 

[gym_dad32608]

OU brought today.
