Coming off an epic home victory over Georgia that came down to the final competitor, the Missouri Tigers are trending in the right direction. They just hit a season high in total points, a 197.425, which is higher than their highest home score last year, and three of the four rotations hit their second highest scores of the season. Even the fourth (on the Apparatus That Shall Not Be Named) was better than they have been doing. Now, our fair Missouri Tigers venture southeast to The Swamp of Gainesville to take on the Florida Gators.
The Gators faced some adversity of their own - more on Mizzou’s later - last week when not one, but two All-American gymnasts went down with injuries (one will be back this week) early in the meet.
