What a difference a month makes.
A month ago, the season seemed lost. OK, maybe not lost, as that is a bit harsh, but it didn’t seem like this LSU gymnastics squad was going to compete for titles. Hey, not every team is a championship team.
On February 8, LSU lost to Kentucky. They didn’t just lose, the Tigers got absolutely destroyed, 197.150-196.025. The loss dropped LSU to 3-3 overall and 1-3 in the hyper competitive SEC. And LSU simply doesn’t score under 197, much less flirt with dropping a score below 196.
LSU steadied the ship with a pair of meets the next weekend, getting back on the positive side of the ledger and a season-high 197.
