It's always nice to get a win against a top-team like Illinois. There were some good performances tonight. However, I did see areas we need to improve on.
We battled back. To see them come back from the hole they were in is promising. I hope this is a testament to the character of the team and carries through to the end of the season. I am proud of their response and I think it comes from the captains' leadership.
We expect that they are going to improve. Listening to them they weren't at full strength and by then they hope to be. But I'm sure we'll train well and we don't want to lose at St. John.
I am pleased with our overall performance. Our guys did a good job tonight.
It certainly wasn't a stellar competition or performance on our part. But the team rallied, never gave up, and we won by a point, which doesn't sound like much, but in gymnastics winning by a point is like 10 points in basketball.
The invitational was very competitive, as it usually is. This tournament had some of the best teams in the country, and we figured that Illinois and Michigan would be the two teams that challenged us the most. And as expected, they did.
Jimmy was amazing. After not performing well on floor on the first day of competition, he did what he needed to do on the second day in order to make the U.S. National Team.
This is the time in our season when we shut down and continue to practice through meets. We anticipate a drop in the national rankings, but we are focusing on the Big Ten and NCAA tournaments.
