Tonight’s liveblog takes us to Athens, where the Auburn Tigers take on the Georgia Bulldogs. The road team enters as the favorites, and look for the Tigers to be lead by all arounders Cassie Stevens and Olivia Hollingsworth. If the Tigers want to win on the road, look for them to hit a solid number on bars, an event that has kept its team total down at times this year. As for Georgia, vault has been a low point at time this season, making the first rotation a critical one for both teams. On the individual front Lily Smith and Jafree Scott have been excellent all season.
Zooming out to the bigger picture, with NQS kicking in last week, Auburn and Georgia have more than likely cemented themselves in the afternoon session of SEC Championships, but still have incentive to improve their NQS to optimize their regional seedings. Auburn has a couple mid 196s still hanging around in its NQS, so tonight provides a good opportunity to score a mid 197, and depending on how other teams perform, could jump up a few spots. As for Georgia, it can only go maintain or decrease its ranking, but will still want to put up a good performance to build momentum.
