Gymnastics News: After Sold-Out Stadium, LSU Tigers Ready to Compete Against Auburn’s Roster

The LSU Gymnastics team has always dazzled spectators with their splendid performances, maintaining an unbreakable streak throughout the ongoing NCAA gymnastics season. Following their remarkable victory against the No. 9 ranked Alabama, the LSU Tigers yet again showcased their prowess, adding another win to solidify their dominant position in the world of collegiate gymnastics.

Not only this, but LSU also accomplished an impressive feat of 198.325 scores in their last Friday meetup to solidify their reputation further. Now, the team is igniting for a face-off against Auburn in the upcoming matchup. Even though LSU ranks above Auburn, the upcoming match is not as easy as it may seem. 

LSU’s gymnastics roster on the edge

To share the anticipation among spectators, LSU Gymnastics took to their official X account and posted a couple of pictures of the gymnastics roster. Alongside the pictures, the team penned, “Headed down the road to the River Center this week. Get your tickets to watch the Tigers compete on the podium against No. 14 Auburn, George Washington, and Texas Women on Friday, March 8!“

At the last matchup, LSU witnessed a major setback that came prior to massive spectator support. Interestingly, most of the crowd came up to the arena late due to early match time and ticket sales suspension. However, this turned out to be a memorable match for LSU’s team, as 12,580 fans showed up to record a second consecutive sellout at PMAC. 

After the conclusion of the recent matchup, head coach Clark said, “I was concerned. I don’t understand why we had to have a 5 o’clock start…I know they wanted to put the best. What they felt was the best matchup was on ESPN2 versus the SEC Network, and that’s great, except that if you do it at 5 o’clock, people can’t get here.”

Now, LSU Tigers are gearing up for their matchup against No. 14 Auburn scheduled this Friday. However, with the bar already set at height, LSU has a heavy weight of expectations on its shoulders.

Last month, LSU not only dominated Auburn but also secured an impressive deal with 198.300-197.100.
