Fun fact: At Crisler earlier this season, Michigan's Vlad Goldin proposed to his girlfriend after Michigan lost on Senior Night to Maryland, so sometimes, you just have to run with it.
*At the first NCAA women's gymnastics semi, Missouri and Florida were tight right at the end for who would advance to the final. The last gymnast up for Mizzou was Helen Hu, a beam specialist who had retired in 2023 but then was convinced to come back this season to use her 5th year of eligibility. She got the highest score of championships, 9.9875 (4 of 6 judges gave her a perfect 10), and Mizzou advanced to Four On the Floor for the first time ever.
*The first sport climbing boulder world cup of the season was this weekend. In semis, the 1st boulder had a crux just past the zone, and only Annie Sanders (USA, who would go on to win) got a top on that boulder... and she flashed it.
