NCAA Championship Preview

Official Championship Schedule

SEMIFINAL 1 Thursday, 3:30pm CT - LSU, Cal, Arkansas, Stanford

  • LSU - They have been runner-up to Oklahoma 4 times in the past decade.
  • Cal - Cal is the one team that holds up best with the naked eye.
  • Arkansas - If Cal or LSU has to count a fall, Arkansas has the scores to continue their gymnastics on ABC.
  • Stanford - The only unseeded team to advance to Championships.

SEMIFINAL 2 Thursday, 8pm CT - Oklahoma, Florida, Utah, Alabama

  • Oklahoma - This is about legacy. The dynasty has already been established, but Oklahoma has never three-peated.
  • Florida - Last year, the Gators finished just 0.15 behind Oklahoma and the year prior 0.1125. Can they find those extra tenths this Championship?
  • Utah - For the 48th consecutive season the Utes are back at Nationals and so is Maile O’Keefe, the reigning all-around national champion and beam champion.
  • Alabama - Ranked in the top 10 on every event except floor, which ironically they set a program record on this season with a 49.750.
