Stanford @ Arizona Live Blog

Time for some Sunday afternoon gymnastics live blog with Stanford @ Arizona.

This will be Stanford head coach, Tabitha Yim's first return to Arizona since she left them to take the Stanford  job.

We will also see Elizabeth "Ebee" Price continue her senior year dominance or just what fans have been waiting to see for years, and now that she's healthy, she's a force to be reckoned with.
