Iowa State-Oklahoma - Final Rotation

Floor (Fourth Rotation) - 48.000 - ISU's lowest floor score of the year.
1. Megan Barnes - 9.750 - Fantastic start on floor and the score should be higher. The Sooner's first beam performer fell, possibly giving the Cyclones an opening. One more OU fall and it's a whole new ballgame.
2. Nikki Dilbert - 9.250 - Her final passed look rough, but she stayed with it admirably, even if it ended in a slow back handspring. Everything leading up to the final pass looked great.
3. Melanie Tham - 9.175 - She fell on her butt when landing her final pass. Much like Dilbert's routine, everything looked great leading up to the final pass, but her fall probably helped seal a win for Oklahoma.
4. Jasmine Thompson - 9.825 - Excellent routine, probably her best of the year.
5. Katie Sweetin - 9.250 - Read the Dilbert/Tham descriptions above. The exact same thing happened, which is unfortunate because this was shaping up to be Sweetin's best floor of the year.
6. Janet Anson - 9.925 - This was incredible. She's truly one of the best in the country, even if she gives me the occasional PR answer when I interview her.

Oklahoma earned a 49.250 on beam to finish the meet. Kiara Redmond posting a 9.050 to begin beam didn't help things for the Sooners, but the rest of the team responded. Iowa State responded in kind with their own chants when OU was on beam, so it all evened out.

Final score: Oklahoma - 196.250
Iowa State - 194.425
