Our No. 11 Mizzou Gymnastics Team is currently in Raleigh, NC for the 2022 NCAA Raleigh Regional Second Round, and y’all… they killed it. And because of this, they will advance to Saturday’s regional final [the Sweet 16], which starts at 4pm on ESPN+. If they finish in the top two there, they’ll move onto to the national championships. This is the first time Missouri has taken the no. 1 spot in a regional since 2010, and this was their second highest regional score in program history.

To get into the regional final, Mizzou had to knock out no. 6 LSU, Iowa, and NC State. Along with Iowa, other teams Missouri will be competing against on Saturday are no. 14 UCLA and no. 3 Michigan.

OVERALL RESULTS:

1. Missouri: 197.150
2. Iowa: 196.800
3. LSU: 195.575
4. NC State: 195.700

As for theatrics, there were plenty. LSU was leading going into the final rotation with a score of 147.795, with Mizzou in second (147.775) and Iowa in third (147.765), but the purple & gold Tigers had an unfortunate fall on beam, thus ending the purple & gold Tigers season for their five super-seniors and making it mathematically impossible to catch the Hawkeyes.

As a team, Missouri scored above 49.000 in each of its four routines. The Tigers’ performance on the beam set them apart from the rest of the pack, which included Schreiber’s score as well as Helen Hu’s score of 9.950.

Hoops

• Matter wrote about Gates’ pivotal “To-Do” list, including this nugget:

No matter who returns from this past season’s team, the Tigers have obvious needs on the perimeter. Mizzou shot just 28.1% from 3-point range, the worst in team history and 354th out of 358 Division I teams.

Otherwise, Gates will knock on all doors from one coast to another and beyond to collect talent. He’s already landed two transfers in Garden City Community College forward Mohamed Diarra and Milwaukee transfer guard DeAndre Gholston. At Cleveland State, Gates relied heavily on junior college recruiting. This past year’s CSU team featured eight players who arrived via junior colleges, from Florida, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas and one by way of South Sudan.
