Summary

For the last several years, regional scores didn't matter that much, as long as a team finished in the advancing top two in its region.

Baskett added, "I think it will give us another opportunity to come out trying to be strong on bars."

She said the Utes have now experienced starting a meet on a bye and know they must be better focused in the first event than they were Saturday. "I think we will be more prepared after a bye and know that we need to get into the zone.

"It's good that we've done it once before so the freshmen know how it works, and we know how it works, how long and when we'll do each event."

Marsden said he also likes the rotation, and he added that the bars on the podium at Georgia will be anchored to the floor more tightly, like at home, than the ones at Minnesota, which are held down by bottles.

Looks like they blew their chance for a chance at the title. Too much pressure maybe?? Better luck next year.

re: choke

Let me guess you must be a tds fan. Utah is not out of contention for the national title. Go get 'em red rocks at the National finals this week while the kitties get to watch from Provo on their couches.
