As promised, I am back for more NCAA Gymnastics live blogging. This afternoon is all about # 5 LSU visiting # 11 Georgia.
Last weekend, Georgia narrowly defeated Florida by only.050. Can Georgia pull off another win or will the LSU Tigers devour the Gym-Dogs. Refresh the page every few minutes or so to find out!
Before I officially begin, I just want to muse on the hilarity and eye-roll inducing SEC scoring. Last night the Alabama at Auburn meet had me eyeing certain scores suspiciously. My husband was watching with me and he also gave a few scores the proverbial side eye. I usually try to remain neutral, but I'm anticipating some scoring shenanigans as is expected in the SEC.
Rotation one, Georgia, the home team will start on vault, LSU will begin their night on bars.
Leading off vault for Georgia, Ashlyn Broussard - FTY, hop on landing. 9.825
Jessica Savona leads off bars for LSU -shaposh + bail, giant 1/1 + taktchev, DLO, stuck, or as far as I could tell. I couldn't see through Jay Clark's ass. 9.85
Natalie Vaculik VT GA - FTY - chest down, step FWD 9.7
Myia Hambrick LSU UB - jimp KCHS + tkatchev, giant 1.1 + bail, toe shoot Full in, step FWD 9.825
GiGI Marino GA VT - Yurchenko 1 & 1/2, stuck. Nice form in the air. 9.9
Julianna Cannamela LSU UB - jump KCHS, toe on + tkatchev, bail, nice hS positions, full in, step back. Good routine. 9.825
Sydney Snead VT GA - FTY very high, far, nice form, bounces in place. 9.9
Randii Wyrick LSU UB (replacing Lexie Priessman I guess since she's injured AGAIN) - Jump KCHS giant 1/1 + tkatchev, falls, bail, DLO, stuck. 9.175
Brittany Rogers VT - DTY huge, hop back. 9.875
Sarah Finnegan UB LSU - jump KCHS, ray, toe on + bail, toe shoot to HB, DLO, small step back. good routine for her. 9.875
Brandie Jay VT GA - yurchenko 1 & 1/2, small hop forward. 9.925
Shae Zamardi LSU UB- maloney+pak 1/2, giant 1/2 + khorkina, double arabian, small hop. 9.825
It's Georgia in the lead after the first rotation. Here are the scores:
Georgia vault total: 49.425
LSU bars total: 49.2
Second rotation, Georgia goes to bars and LSU will go to vault.
Props to ESPN for doing a splat-fest montage on beam.

(that may have been a little side eye inducing, there were definitely short handstands)
Scores after 2 rotations:
Georgia 98.675, bars total 49.25
LSU 98.475, vault total 49.275
Third rotation, LSU will go to floor, Georgia will go to beam. LSU could overtake Georgia if they have a splat fest on beam.
