No. 8 Missouri also turned in a season high of 197.725 in Friday’s meet held in front of a sellout Exactech Arena at the Stephen C. O’Connell Center crowd of 9,015.
The Gators led by a slender 0.175 spread heading into the final rotation. A season-best floor exercise set of 49.625 kept the Tigers at bay, as MU closed with a season-best balance beam rotation of 49.
