The Friday-night gymnastics extravaganza continues with Kentucky @ LSU.
Kentucky's continuing a season that is going to be turned into an Oscar nominated movie because I literally just decided that it should. The hope is that Kentucky will hold their own against LSU, who are starting their nationals campaign like yesterday.
