The Scarlet Knights head to East Lansing tonight to take on the Spartans. Michigan State narrowly edged out Nebraska in week 7 with a 196.725, surviving a shaky beam rotation to secure the win by just 0.025. Back at home, the Spartans should have a more comfortable path to victory, especially if they capitalize on their strength on vault and floor.
Rutgers, meanwhile, is showing signs of momentum after a slow start, notching a season-high 195.350 last week. Floor has been the team’s most consistent event, but cracking the 49 mark on other apparatuses will be crucial for climbing the rankings.
