The Big Storyline: Ohio State came back from a relatively mediocre meet versus BYU earlier in the weekend to storm to a huge total on senior night to close out its home slate. The Buckeyes especially shone on floor for a 49.600. Illinois fell short despite a solid and season best day, with big performances on beam and floor. The Flashes also put up a season best and their first 196 of the year.
Implications: Ohio State made a case for a challenge to the top two Big Ten teams with conference championships approaching. While Michigan and Michigan State are in the 198s, this number from the Buckeyes is still competitive. It also keeps Ohio State securely in the seeded regionals spots at No. 15. Illinois’ number is a season best and boosts its NQS about a tenth and a half, lifting it two places nationally.
Records: Ohio State’s 197.600 is its second best program number. The Buckeyes finish their home season undefeated.
