Fresh off of their strongest performance of the season last week in Tuscaloosa, No.5 Auburn returns to Neville Arena to compete with No. 9 LSU in front of a sold-out crowd.
Auburn scored a season-best 197.700 last week against No. 11 Alabama led by Suni Lee’s 10.0 scores on both vault and beam. However, the Crimson Tide also had several record-breaking scores, which led to them scoring 197.850.
Now attention turns toward LSU, who enters the contest with an average score of 197.150. Head coach Jeff Graba says that his squad needs to be ready for everything that LSU throws at them.
“LSU returned quite a few people from last year’s squad and are always a great team,” Graba said. “They are going to come in ready to go. They’re powerful and strong, which means they are going to throw big gymnastics. We have to be ready to counter.”
