Michigan fought to the end at home last week, but ended up losing to Michigan State by a decent margin. The Wolverines avoided counting falls on bars and beam, but some big checks on the latter event ultimately held them back. A bright spot, as it has been all season, was its program record-tying floor rotation and Gabby Wilson’s 10.0 that anchored it; she’ll rival Gopher star Mya Hooten for yet another title on that event today. Speaking of the Gophers, last week they had a program record-tying performance of their own from freshman Jordyn Lyden with a huge 9.975 on bars. The Gophers also earned a top-five program beam score en route to breaking 197 for the first time this season, scoring just a tenth lower than Michigan and doing it on the road at Penn State. That bodes well for the Gophers back home in Maturi Pavilion tonight.
