Eric returns to discuss  Missouri vs. Arkansas (No. 7 vs. No. 8) in a tight SEC dual, including Arkansas all-around freshman Alison Cucci and Olympian alternate Jocelyn Roberson. We praise Missouri's bars “stick train,” individual standouts Hannah Horton, Maiya Terry, Lauren Williams and Priscilla Park, and discuss broadcasts, home-arena hype, and camera-angle issues. We also discuss the NCAA's first Mustafina vault, the pervasive “answering the phone” choreography trend, and the transfer portal.
