re: Alabama Gymnastics (2023)

I’m no expert but I think it’s tough to beat two 10s. Great performances.

I felt like Luisa should of gotten a ten on the floor exercise.

Tremendous atmosphere in Coleman tonight. Reminiscent of the days of old. Thought it was over after the first rotation but the ladies kept chipping away and pulled it out on the last rotation. Some frustrating spots again tonight but a big score and big win. The team has so much potential if they could just put it all together on the same night.

The No. 11 Alabama gymnastics team defeated the Auburn Tigers 197.850-197.700 in front of a sold-out Coleman Coliseum crowd Friday night. The Crimson Tide earned its highest score of the season on both balance beam and floor exercise, with UA's 49.700 rotation total on floor the highest on the event in the nation this season.

Following a 49.175 on the vault to open the meet, the Tide's rotation scores got higher after each rotation. Alabama followed a 49.325 on the uneven bars with a 49.650 on the balance beam, tying for the second-highest total on the event in program history. The Tide closed out the night with a 49.700 on floor exercise, tying a program record on the event.

Luisa Blanco scored a perfect 10 on the balance beam and anchor Alabama in the third rotation of the night, earning the second 10.0 of her career. Blanco posted a 39.750 in the all-around, tying her career high on the vault (9.950), the balance beam (10.0) and floor exercise (9.975), receiving at least one 10.0 from a judge on all three events.

Sophomore Lilly Hudson also earned a pair of 9.975s on both balance beam and floor exercise, both career-highs for the sophomore. Hudson also tied her career-high in the all-around with a 39.575, matching her total from last Friday's meet at Kentucky.

Alabama Comes from Behind with Season Bests on Beam, Floor to Beat Auburn in Power of Pink (SI)

Perfection from Luisa Blanco and near-perfection Lilly Hudson kept Suni Lee and the Auburn Tigers from snatching their first win at Coleman Coliseum.

I thought I was the only one who was thinking that they were BIASED.

Disappointed it’s not being televised.
