HEAR FROM THE BENCH
Coach Welker on tonight's performance...
"It was a great atmosphere it was a special night to pick up two SEC conference wins. We have been getting the big scores, but we haven't been able to pick up the wins with it. Putting the pieces to get both tonight was great. On bars was great tonight we were able to stick three landing in a row which is going to be what we need moving further in the season. We talked about this as a team, but we knew it was going to be close with LSU going into floor. which it was so there was not a lot of room for error. I really thought it was a great performance by everyone on floor."
