BATON ROUGE, La. – The No. 2 LSU Gymnastics team (6-2, 3-1 SEC) is set to host No. 1 Oklahoma (10-1, 4-0 SEC) for one of the most highly anticipated regular season matchups of the year. The Tigers and the Sooners will face off inside the Pete Maravich Assembly Center on Friday, February 14 at 8 p.m. CT on ESPN2.
“This is an exciting meet. These are the kind of meets you dream about competing in, but it’s also not a destination for us. We have to stay 100% focused on us and our process,” said head coach Jay Clark, “Our mindset stays the same this week as it would any other week. We know who’s coming here and it’s rare you get this opportunity in any sport, but that doesn’t change our process.”
“I have the utmost respect for Oklahoma and all those coaches. They do a really good job. I think that there’s a mutual respect between both programs and this meet will be fantastic exposure not only for college gymnastics, but for our fans here and the Baton Rouge community.”
John Roethelisberger, Aly Raisman and Taylor Davis will be on site to cover the meet. Friday’s meet marks the first meeting between LSU and Oklahoma as conference foes and only their sixth meeting inside the PMAC.
The Tigers are on a 13-0 win streak inside the PMAC and haven’t lost a home meet since their last time facing Oklahoma on January 16, 2023. LSU is also 8-0 when competing in front of crowds larger than 13,000+ inside the PMAC.
