Much like UCLA’s recent showdown with Michigan State, today’s conference dual has the makings of a marquee matchup for the 2025 season. It’s a battle of No. 1 vs. No. 2, with UCLA holding onto its status as the Big Ten’s only undefeated team, while Michigan sits tied for second alongside the Spartans.
The revamped Bruins have exceeded expectations this season and will be aiming for another big road score today. With two-time Olympian Jordan Chiles consistently delivering 9.95+ routines and standout freshman Mika Webster-Longin building on last week’s stellar performance, that goal seems well within reach. Michigan, also sporting a fresh lineup, took time to hit its stride but has shown clear progress, posting a season-high 197.100 against Nebraska two weeks ago and narrowly missing the 197 mark last week. The Wolverines will look to capitalize on their home advantage to keep this one tight.
