Minnesota forced the favorites to hit and made the NCAA team final, Oklahoma looked like the clear title favorite, Faith Torres won the all-around, and Jordan Chiles finished her NCAA career with another floor title. We break down both semifinals, the event champions, the teams moving on, and the biggest judging and podium storylines from Fort Worth. Then in the members-only Behind The Scenes portion, we get into the arena shennanigans, Oklahoma podium-training injury news, DJ choices, puppies, and all the weird little details you didn't see on the broadcast.
