It’s the final week before most teams square off for conference titles and the penultimate week to improve NQS. With the bubble mostly locked in, these last few opportunities are all about solidifying a solid position in the regionals picture and resting up for intense showdowns throughout the postseason.
Must-Watch Meets
Denver at Michigan
Friday, March 15 at 7 p.m. ET | BTN+
Prediction: 62.84% Denver, 37.16% Michigan
In the final regular-season meet, Jessica Hutchinson and her Denver team face Sierra Brooks and a Michigan team in the midst of a rebuild. Wildly, these teams couldn’t be much closer. The Pioneers finally hit a high score on the road last time out, putting them seven-hundredths of a point ahead of the Wolverines in the rankings. Both teams are ranked in the top 20 on all events, but Michigan has a slight advantage on beam and floor over Denver. Add home floor advantage and senior night for some Wolverine legends, and it could be a perfect recipe for Michigan to hit 198 for the first time this season. Denver won’t let that happen quietly, though; if it can get a lead in the first two rotations and capitalize on any Michigan missteps, this could be the confidence boost the Pioneers need heading into Big 12s.
