KIYA JOHNSON FINISHES IT OFF WITH A PERFECT 10 😍 @espnW | @SECNetwork https://t.co/hKoRjAfPPz
Kentucky finishes with a season-high 197.600 but #LSU is already at 198.000. Kiya Johnson performing a victory lap on floor.
It's much better than that. Bryant gets a 9.95 and a 39.825 to win the all-around. She has three titles tonight and is tied for the clubhouse lead on floor with Kiya left to go. https://t.co/HmwMmNXhnP
Bryant just finished on floor. A 9.875 wins the all-around. #LSU
Not a 10 but really, good. A career high-tying 9.95. Meanwhile a 9.50 for UK's Bailey Bunn on beam after she nearly fell three times but stayed up. UK counting a 9.75 in the event because of that. A win is now firmly in #LSU's grasp. https://t.co/VzjEVgGVYP
KJ Johnson is electric on floor. D-D Breaux in the stands wants a 10. #LSU
A 9.875 on floor in the lead off spot for Sierra Ballard. Got a 9.85 from one judge. #LSU coach Jay Clark is not thrilled with that judge at the moment and has a word with the lead official.
Kentucky has a 49.475 on floor to #LSU's 49.425 on beam, cutting into the Tigers' lead slightly and making it quite close. Going to the final rotation: @LSUgym 148.400 Kentucky 148.325 Tigers on floor, Wildcats on beam.
Aleah Finnegan finishes on beam with a 9.85, giving #LSU a 49.425 in the event. By far LSU's best score this season on beam. And, all six Tigers stayed up.
