Brace yourselves—this one’s going to be a showdown.
Oklahoma returns to the Lloyd Noble Center with something to prove after last week’s loss at LSU. Head coach KJ Kindler has been rolling out a five all-arounder strategy—calling it a “one-year anomaly” in media availability this week—with Jordan Bowers and Faith Torrez leading the charge. Though it’s a double meet weekend for the Sooners, expect Kindler to stack this lineup with her best six routines, eyeing a crucial SEC win. Oklahoma will also be pushing to become the third team to hit 198 this season—a mark they reached in just three meets last year.
Florida, however, has consistently outscored the Sooners this season and racked up more perfect 10s. Leanne Wong remains a steady force, while transfer Selena Harris-Miranda has quickly become a lineup mainstay. To pull off the upset on Oklahoma’s home floor, the Gators need to bring their absolute best—something they lacked in their last regular-season faceoff with the Sooners. The key event? Beam. Florida typically lands in the mid-49s, but a stumble in Fayetteville a few weeks ago proved costly. Another misstep here could close the door on their upset hopes.
