Illinois at Minnesota

Recap

The Big Storyline: Minnesota came out on top of Illinois by almost a full point. The Illini had a shaky bar rotation followed by a lot more small mistakes throughout the meet that really added up. Minnesota also had its fair share of shakiness on the beam, but the Gophers were able to fight through and come out with the win. 

Implications: Minnesota will remain in fifth place in the Big Ten, extending its lead over Illinois, so the Illini have some ground to make up if they want to sneak into the top five in the conference.
