MONDAY FEBRUARY 22

10:45 pm. Arizona wins 196.375 to Arizona State’s 193.975. Both teams had 49.25 in their final rotations! Awesome.

10:41 pm. I’ll be back in a few minutes with the final scores!

10:40 pm. Callis, ASU, FX- Her music reminds me of when Meredith Grey drowned on Grey’s Anatomy. Hit opening pass, 1.5 to front layout is nearly stuck. I missed her middle pass I think.

10:38 pm. Sheppard, Arizona, BB- Side aerial, solid bhs loso, switch to split jump, switch to straddle 1/4, full turn, 1.5 with a hop.

10:36 pm. Allex, ASU, FX- Nails double arabian, just a tiny bounce in place. 2.5 to front full is excellent. Her Rudi is SO easy for her it’s not even funny. Brilliant routine. Lots of screams, it’s gonna be a huge score…9.925!

10:33 pm. Sisler, Arizona, BB- Gorgeous bhs bhs loso. Switch to split jump, front toss, full turn, the color guy is getting into calling skills, LOL. Good for him. Most color guys wouldn’t give a $#@% about learning the sport. 1.5 dismount is beautiful, fights for the stick. 9.875

10:31 pm. Salas, ASU, FX- Big front double full, front layout to front full, good double pike to finish. She has roughly 80 billion different songs in her music. 9.875

10:29 pm. Cindric, Arizona, BB- Good switch leap to split jump, bhs loso is solid, nice full turn, side aerial, good jumps, nails gainer pike dismount. 9.9!

10:27 pm. Udowitch, ASU, FX- Double pike is short. 1.5 loses leg form a bit into the punch front pike. Rudi a little short to finish. 9.75

10:25 pm. Mills, Arizona, BB- Nice front aerial to bhs. Full turn is solid, switch to ring jump, side somi, solid gainer full. Great work. 9.85

10:23 pm. Belkoff, ASU, FX- Double pike literally with her heels right in the corner, HOW did she not go out. A+ bonus score for her. Front double full with a step to steady. Great 1.5 to front layout. 9.875

10:21 pm. Howard, Arizona, BB- Loooove her crazy cool mount. Little stumble on her bhs loso and she has about 75,000 checks but keeps fighting and holds it. Good pike jump to back tuck and she’s off-center again, but saves it. She already has about a fall’s worth of balance checks, honestly. Switch to straddle 1/4 with flexed feet but hit. Gainer tuck full off the end of the beam. 9.6

10:19 pm. Lentz, ASU, FX- Good double pike to start. Really long and low 1.5 so she doesn’t land in a good spot for her punch into the layout but she hits it anyway. Very good double tuck. 9.825!

10:18 pm. Edwards, Arizona, BB- Nice front aerial to bhs to sissone. Full turn in attitude, front toss, switch to beat jump to ring jump is beautiful, good landing on the tuck front full dismount. 9.8

“Have some fun! This is gymnastics. This is college. The best time of your life. Enjoy the ride.” Uhhh, color commentary guy, I’m pretty sure that’s not what the ASU assistant coach is saying.

10:13 pm. Arizona goes 49.125 on floor and are at 147.125 going into the final rotation. Hit beam and they’re looking at like 196-196.3 or so.

10:12 pm. 48.6 for Arizona State on beam, so they’re at 144.675 going into the final rotation. I’ll post Arizona’s score when we get the last one in.

10:09 pm. Howard, Arizona, FX- YASSSS she has Rheagan Courville’s / Kara Lovan’s / Laurie Hernandez’s music but a different cut…a little creepier. Big double pike to open. Solid double tuck. Front layout front full with a step. Another awesome set from Arizona. 9.875

10:07 pm. Conrad, ASU, BB- “Hallelujah” and a really pretty version. Awesome bhs loso. HOW is this team so good on bream?! The scores don’t show it but don’t trust it, they’re def all a bit low. Switch to back tuck, little check, side somi, cat leap to switch side, stuck front layout full. Great. 9.825

10:05 pm. Schneider, Arizona, FX- WELL, let’s hope her music works this week. Yep, woot. Great double pike, hit middle pass. Her sassy shoulder shrug before her double tuck stuck cold to two feet is the bomb. 9.875

10:03 pm. Lentz, ASU, BB- “Hey There Delilah” memories. Solid bhs loso. Switch to straddle 1/4, full turn (slight check), switch side, nails double tuck. 9.775

10:01 pm. Sisler, Arizona, FX- Whenever I see her last name I think of the 90s restaurant Sizzler where I never got to go and I think I only know of its existence from like Baby-Sitters Club books. Rudi loso is way off-center. Clean double pike. Double full to punch front, good. 9.875

9:59 pm. Belkoff, ASU, BB- Excellent bhs bhs loso. Switch to straddle 1/4. Lovely front aerial to Korbut. She is owning this after her bars issues. Oh, but a balance check on the full turn. 1.5 with a hop forward. Beautiful job. 9.65

9:57 pm. Mills, Arizona, FX- NAILS double pike. Superb. Switch ring to wolf jump full. 1.5 to front pike, a little step forward but stays inside. Front full to front layout. Great routine. 9.8

9:55 pm. Udowitch, ASU, BB- Front aerial to bhs is lovely, switch to split jump, full turn, good front toss, side aerial to layout full with a good landing. 9.725

9:52 pm. Edwards, Arizona, FX- Double pike, stumbles back two steps, one of which goes out-of-bounds. 1.5 to punch front pike is good, as is front full to front layout, actually  just a little bobble as she puts it down. 9.7

9:50 pm. Callis, ASU, BB- Bhs bhs loso, hits it, but then has a last-second check. Switch with a wobble into the split jump then beat jump. Cat leap to side aerial, landed sideways. Lovely full turn. Totally misses her feet on her side aerial but still gets the punch she needs into the layout full. 9.575

9:48 pm. Sheppard, Arizona, FX- Good double pike to start. 2.5 with a stumble forward. She has a cell phone ring in the middle of her routine but she doesn’t do anything with it, LOL, okay. 1.5 to punch front pike. 9.675

9:07 pm. Zamardi, LSU, UB- Maloney (leg sep) to pak (leg sep), short handstand before blind change to Markelov, double arabian with messy legs and a hop. 9.9

9:06 pm. Atkinson, Auburn, VT- Yurchenko 1.5, big, great positioning, just a tiny step forward. Great work. 9.9

9:05 pm. Finnegan, LSU, UB- Nice Ray to start, toe-on to bail is clean right into the toe shoot, super short on last handstand, double layout stuck in a squat. 9.9

9:04 pm. Rott, Auburn, VT- Huge stuck FTY. Well, stuck on her toes and with a deep squat, and her chest is also like in a full pike position, haha, but stuck. I guess. 9.85

9:03 pm. Wyrick, LSU, UB- Archy on her giant full, low Tkachev with super bent knees, clear hip to bail, double layout with a little bounce forward and her chest down. 9.8

8:57 pm. Savona, LSU, UB- Shaposh to bail, her best so far I think, she’s usually quite messy. Giant full, double layout, great landing. DAMN her best routine of the season. Looks like they took out her single bar release to clean it up and YEP. It worked. 9.85

8:56 pm. Garcia, Auburn, VT- First time competing for Auburn. FTY, a little short, super piked. 9.725

8:49 pm. LSU leads Auburn 49.45 to 49.15 going into the second rotation.

8:48 pm. Atkinson, Auburn, UB- Toe-on to bail, she has Bross knock knee toe point. Ooh, she’s WAY over on her Tkachev, no way she’s gonna catch, and she doesn’t, she’s still so far forward. Way short last handstand after she gets back up, GIANT full-in with a step. 9.275

8:47 pm. Gnat, LSU, VT- Og her little looking at the mat three times ritual. DTY, stuck, same twisty ankle Mustafina helicopter leg form as usual but I don’t think the judges care. Kathy just had a HELL of a time trying to pronounce “effortlessly.” Oh, wow, one judge cared about the ankles. 9.975

8:46 pm. Milliet, Auburn, UB- Beautiful Ray, lovely pak salto, toe shoot, goodness she’s so good, but short on the last handstand, biant full to clean double tuck, stuck in a bit of a squat. 9.875

8:45 pm. Hambrick, LSU, VT- Nice clean FTY, small bounce back. 9.9

8:40 pm. Krippner, Auburn, UB- Maloney (leg sep) to bail, good Tkachev, a little short on the last handstand, full-in with a hop. Meh. But that’s not really her event so not bad. 9.775

8:38 pm. Ewing, LSU, VT- Yurchenko 1.5, nice, just a big step forward. 9.825

8:37 pm. Cerio, Auburn, UB- Piked Jaeger, nice, good bail, great last handstand, giant full to double tuck, step back. I almost don’t imagine she’s a second choice for Auburn’s bars. A few years ago that would’ve been a top routine. 9.825

8:36 pm. Cannamela, LSU, VT- Clean FTY, good body position, hop, a little off-center. 9.775

8:25 pm. Florida wins this one 197.75 to Missouri’s 196.65! Great meet for both. Moving on to LSU and Auburn in a few minutes!

8:23 pm. Harris, Missouri, FX- Huge double pike. Front layout front full with a step. Double tuck with a step back. 9.9

8:20 pm. Sloan, Florida, BB- Just gonna assume this is a 10 no matter what she does. Front aerial to beat jump, bhs loso with a huge wobble, leg up, but saves it. Easily a 0.3 wobble. They’ll prob give her a tenth. Switch to split jump, full turn. Courtney Kupets just backed me up on the 0.3 thing. Aerial and another wobble but this time she falls. Whoops. Double full with a step. 9.15

8:19 pm. Porter, Missouri, FX- Solid double pike. 1.5 to front layout is great. Good double tuck. Killed it. 9.95!

8:17 pm. McMurtry, Florida, BB- Messy bhs loso, her knees are seriously so bent and crooked. Switch to Shushunova to back hip circle, full turn, stuck double full, tiny little shuffle to hold it. Apparently she’s doing her “first floor routine ever” next week because nothing counts until NCAA, she NEVER did floor in JO. 9.95

8:16 pm. Miller, Missouri, FX- Nails double tuck, chest just angled down a little. Front layout front full with a step. Good finish. 9.85

8:14 pm. Boren, Florida, BB- Super weird front toss, like, short and no height? Holds onto it though. Bhs loso, good jump series with a SUPER high straddle jump. Cat leap to gainer loso, full turn, and a gainer full dismount, just brings her feet together. 9.825

8:12 pm. Kern, Missouri, FX- Double pike is short, stumble forward. Good front full front layout. Excellent Rudi. 9.775

8:11 pm. Fassbender, Florida, BB- Front aerial, bhs loso, great side aerial to layout full. 9.775

8:07 pm. Ernst, Florida, UB- Side aerial, good. Solid bhs loso. Split to sheep. Full turn and a good gainer pike to finish. Her best beam in the season! 9.875, how did she and Baker get the same score?!?!?! It’s not even Florida bias, it’s just drunk judging.

8:05 pm. Kelly, Missouri, FX- Double pike into a lunge, a little uncontrolled. Melissa Lee is a big MIA fan apparently, LOL. Hit middle pass. Double pike, skidded and one foot goes out-of-bounds. 9.675

8:04 pm. Baker, Florida, BB- Front aerial, pause, bhs. That shouldn’t be a connection but whatever, it probably will be. Sissone to split half with a wobble. Side aerial to layout full with a big hop back. 9.875 #n #o

8:00 pm. Florida leads Missouri 148.45 to 147.275. Florida’s super close to being able to go 198.

7:56 pm. Caquatto, Florida, FX- 2.5, hit, cut out the punch front “because of the sickness” according to Kupets who makes it sound like she has like the Zika virus or something. Oooh, Rudi to bhs loso, haha, I kind of love it. Double pike is short with her chest down but controlled on the landing. 9.85

7:53 pm. Ward, Missouri, BB- Beautiful bhs bhs loso. Switch to pike jump, Her music is “Breathe (2 am)” by Anna Nalick, GREY’S ANATOMY FEELS. Bomb squad guy blowing up in the hallway. Nails the rest, 1.5 with a slight step. 9.875

7:52 pm. Baker, Florida, FX- Arabian double pike, probably her least-controlled, but still awesome, just a step forward. Great double pike, awesome last pass. 9.925

7:50 pm. Schugel, Missouri, BB- Bhs bhs loso, awesome. Hit the rest. Great routine. 9.85

7:48 pm. Sloan, Florida, FX- 1.5 to 2.5 is awesome, slight shuffle. Nails double pike, nearly stuck on two feet. 1.5 to front layout with a tiny hop. Awesome routine. 9.975 so bless the judge who gave her a 10 with a shuffle and a hop.

7:46 pm. Porter, Missouri, BB- Switch to split jump to back tuck, solid. Full turn, good connection on the front aerial to bhs, loose 1.5 with a hop.

7:44 pm. Boren, Florida, FX- Full-in with a wild landing, slips back onto one foot and lifts her front leg but keeps it inside. 1.5 front layout with a step. Double tuck, nicely controlled. 9.9???????????? U DRUNK

7:42 pm. Miller, Missouri, BB- Messy bhs loso with a big wobble and a fall. A little shaky throughout, and hops on her gainer full. 9.275

7:41 pm. Fassbender, Florida, FX- 2.5 to punch front is definitely a little short. Good double pike but the landing isn’t the greatest. 1.5 to punch front pike with a tiny shuffle. 9.875

7:39 pm. Bower, Missouri, BB- Bhs loso, nice. Good jump series. Cat leap to side somi, gainer full with a hop. 9.825

7:37 pm. McLaughlin, Florida, FX- Solid front layout front full. Good Rudi. Front full front pike with a hop. 9.9

7:36 pm. Allbritten, Missouri, BB- Nice front aerial to bhs. Quick full turn. Solid front toss to split jump, and a stuck gainer full to finish. That was a fabulous routine. 9.85

7:32 pm. Florida leads at the halfway point with a 98.875 to Missouri’s 98.05.

7:31 pm. Allbritten, Missouri, UB- Short first handstand, blind change to straddle Jaeger caught so close it’s practically to her face, bail to toe shoot, short last handstand, giant full to double tuck with a step. First time on bars which makes sense. 9.7

7:30 pm. McMurtry, Florida, VT- HUUUUUUGE FTY, deep landing, though…and she hops back. 9.875

7:29 pm. Porter, Missouri, UB- Straddle Jaeger to overshoot, blind changed to double front with a slight hop back. 9.825

7:28 pm. Baker, Florida, VT- Huge Yurchenko 1.5 but she’s a little rushed and wild on the landing and she has a huge hop forward. 9.9

7:27 pm. Schugel, Missouri, UB- Piked Jaeger, bail, giant full to double tuck, sticks at first but then takes a step out cheating into her salute. 9.775

7:26 pm. Boren, Florida, VT- Yurchenko 1.5 with a slight hop forward. Big vault but could use a tiny bit more attention to detail in her form. 9.85

7:25 pm. Kelly, Missouri, UB- Piked Jaeger, very nice, good handstand before her bail, which is a little short, big stuck gorgeous double layout! 9.875

7:24 pm. Sloan, Florida, VT- Might do the 1.5…we’ll see. Nope, FTY, and for good reason because it’s stuck. Very clean and straight in the air. 9.925

7:23 pm. Miller, Missouri, UB- Piked Jaeger is a little low. Bail, big double layout with a step back. Better than I’ve seen from her so far this year. 9.775

7:21 pm. Huber, Missouri, UB- Blind change to straddle Jaeger to overshoot, double layout, stuck! Excellent work, great for their first up. 9.825

7:20 pm. Caquatto, Florida, VT- Our view of this was from the start of the vault runway LOL. Great. Well, she did an FTY and she hit it. Beyond that we couldn’t see a damn thing. 9.825

7:15 pm. Florida leads 49.5 to Missouri’s 48.975 going into the second rotation.What’s bizarre to me so far is that one of Bridgey’s best routines on bars got only 0.025 higher than one of Bridget’s sloppiest. If they wanna give Sloan a 9.925, fine, but Bridgey’s should’ve been like an 11 in that case haha.

7:14 pm. McMurtry, Florida, UB- Piked first handstand, Tkachev with super flexed feet and bent elbows, bail to toe shoot, piked giants, big stuck full-in 9.875

7:10 pm. Caquatto, Florida, UB- Big Ray, GORGEOUS handstand before her toe-on to bail, big stuck double layout. Okay then, Bridgey. That was probably her best bar routine ever?! 9.95

7:09 pm. Harris, Missouri, VT- Big FTY, leaning forward a tiny bit as she tries to stick but she hops.

7:08 pm. Dancose-Giambattisto, Florida, UB- Toe-on to Maloney to super clean bail, big double layout with a step. Clean enough routine! 9.85

7:07 pm. Lewis, Missouri, VT- Pretty solid FTY with a step back.
