Tigers Awarded #1 Seed For NCAA's

As predicted, the LSU Tigers gymnastics team has been awarded a #1 seed for next weekend's NCAA regionals. LSU finished the regular season ranked fifth in the national point standings which was good enough to secure one of the six #1 seeds.

LSU has been assigned to the Columbus, Ohio regional and will compete in St. John Arena on the campus of Ohio State University on Saturday, April 4 at 5pm Central Time.

The Tigers will match up against #2 seed Oregon State, #3 seed (and host) Ohio State, #4 seed Kent State, #5 seed Kentucky, and #6 seed Michigan State.

According to NCAA rules, the #1 seed begins the competion with a bye and moves to the floor in rotation 2. Then it's off to vault, bye, bars, and beam to finish the competition. Look familiar? This is the same rotation the Tigers drew at the SEC Championships this past weekend.

Ticket info is already available for the regional. Click here for more.

More on the upcoming regional and a look back at Nashville a bit later in the week.
