Well, that was exciting.
As a general rule, regionals are not quite formalities, but they aren’t edge of your seat viewing, either, particularly for a team like LSU. While there might be a battle over the second spot, the top seed is supposed to glide through with minimal difficulty.
“Supposed to” is doing a lot of work in that sentence.
Instead, LSU found itself in dogfights on consecutive days simply to make it to nationals. The second day of the regional was intense that four of the top eight scores in the nation all occurred in Salt Lake City. Every team performed well enough to advance, and it was a cruel reality that only two could.

The crown remains: No. 1 Florida gymnastics edges No. 2 LSU in thrilling showdown

In some corners, last Friday’s meeting of No. 1 Florida and No. 2 LSU on the floor in the Paul Maravich Activities Center was billed as the “meet of the century” in women’s college gymnastics. And there’s no doubt that it was
the marquee meet of this weird year.
But it’s rare that such a meet lives up to its billing and yet, between high scoring, a perfect 10, two 198+ team score, and a nail-biting finish, the much-hyped affair almost certainly produced the most exciting meet in the NCAA season this year.
