Looking to rebound from its first loss of the season, the No. 2 OU men’s gymnastics team hits the road Saturday to take on No. 5 Ohio State in Columbus, Ohio.
The Sooners (9-1, 4-1 MPSF) head into St. John Arena after taking their first loss Sunday against No. 1 Stanford in Lincoln, Neb. While the Sooners were able to salvage a win against No. 8 Nebraska, OU dropped its second-consecutive contest against the Cardinal in a rematch of last year’s NCAA Championships.
OU will be led by junior Steven Legendre and freshman Jacob Dalton, who have combined to win five all-around titles so far this season.
Freshman Alex Naddour posted his best all-around score of the year with an 88.350 to finish second behind Legendre in Lincoln, but won the individual event title on pommel horse with a 14.900.
The Buckeyes (7-5, 3-3 Big Ten) are coming off a win against No. 9 California last weekend, and look to send the Sooners to their second-straight loss on Senior Day at Ohio State.
While the Sooners look to claim their seventh top-10 victory, the Buckeyes are aiming to earn their third-consecutive victory and first against a top-five opponent after going 0-3 to begin the season.
The top-five matchup begins at 4 p.m.
