NCAA Competition Day Has Arrived!

The LSU Tigers have arrived inside the Devaney Center in Lincoln, Nebraska this crisp Thursday morning to take part in the NCAA National Gymnastics Championships. Competition begins at 1:00 pm Central Time and you can catch all the action inside The Geaux Zone FREE of charge.

Here are a few tidbits for you in advance of today's competition.

Head Coach D-D Breaux participated in yesterday's coaches' and athlete's press conference and had some interesting quotes. You can watch the action here. D-D's portion of the conference is a few minutes into the video.

Live stats from today's first session can be found here.

Video of today's action from Lincoln will be streamed LIVE and FREE at this link.

A nice round-up article on each team is in the Lincoln Journal Star. Check it out here.
