Crimson Tide takes home a win of 197.450, against the Bulldogs’ 196.050 https://www.tuscaloosanews.com/photogallery/DA/20200307/PHOTOGALLERY/307009994/PH/1

Alabama ends the night with 49.600 on floor, its highest score since 2017

Georgia ends with a total of 49.300 on beam

Here, I wanted to show the outcome of the meet, rather than a play-by-play of what was happening, so I mentioned the scores at the end of the night. I also included a link to where users can find a compilation of photos from the meet.

Here, I included a play-by-play of the meet because unlike Facebook, you can post more often. Even without pictures or videos, I think these posts would tell users enough information about the gymnasts’ performance. I also checked the gymnastics teams’ Twitter pages and saw they had quick, simple posts that did not feature photos and instead, just had text.

Here, I put the gymnasts’ specific moves because they are visually appealing. The text dictates what is going on in the video clips that would be shown so even if a user does not read them or understand them, they can see it in the clip.

Here, I included pictures and videos because Instagram is visual. Unlike Snapchat, I think here, people would be more likely to read the caption, as on Snapchat, they may quickly go through each story.

Saturday, Feb. 29 Southern hosted a gymnastics meet among five colleges. The event, which began at 2 p.m., was held in Moore Fieldhouse.

This is an image that was posted on Twitter by Bleacher Report. I chose this picture because of how happy the girl looks. I love how even if you do not know what happened, you know the girl is really excited about something, probably having to do with basketball as she is out on the court. I also like the depth of field: the way she is super clear but the background if blurry puts way more focus on her.

I chose this picture because I think it is a good action shot. It shows that the players are doing their thing and just how focused they are on the game, as the one in white doesn’t even look like he is acknowledging the other guy. I also like how the ball looks like it is connected to his hand rather than being in the air. I feel like the ball only touches a person’s hand for such a small amount of time, because of gravity, so I think it is cool the photographer got a shot where it is in his hand.

I like this picture because I think it is cool the photographer got a shot on Stefon in the air. As with the basketball in the previous photo, he is only airborne for a few seconds so I like how the photographer was able to capture it before he returned the ground. I also like the way you can see the other player falling towards the ground, though it does look dangerous. I do not know the story behind this photo, but I am assuming it was one of those football moves everyone talks about later so I think it is good the photographer caught it in motion.

“Le Moyne quickly took the lead away from Southern.”
“Just before a Le Moyne player could take a shot, a Southern player stole the ball.”
“Le Moyne wins the game with a score of 73 to 60.”

Southern played Le Moyne in Moore Field House

Southern lost with 60 points to Le Moyne’s 73

The score was 40-29 at the end of the first half

The Owls are now in fourth place, tied with Pace University in the NE10

Saturday, Feb. 15 Southern played against Le Moyne College from Syracuse, N.Y. Southern started off in the lead, but only briefly. The opposing team was beating them by twice the amount of points they had. At the end of the first half, Southern caught up. The first half ended with a score of 29-40 with Le Moyne in the lead. A Southern player touched a Le Moyne player and the referee blew his whistle at him. Southern scored the first two points of the second half, bringing them to 31. With 13 minutes left in the game, Southern was still down by over 20 points. They scored multiple three pointers, which gained applause from the crowd. In the end, Le Moyne took home a win of 73 with Southern at 60.

It has been a season marked by upsets, a rotation of No. 1 teams and seemingly no clear-cut favorites moving forward. But over the past few weeks, we’ve started to get some separation at the top, especially when it comes to sorting teams by résumé.

The 1-seeds, as it stands, are fairly clear-cut: Baylor, Gonzaga, San Diego State and Kansas, with the latter three coming in whichever order you choose. Combined, those four teams have lost one game since the calendar turned to 2020, Kansas’ defeat to Baylor. They’re a combined 36-1 in that span. They’re the top four teams in the NET rankings, four of the top five at KenPom, the top four in ESPN’s Strength of Record metrics — and the top four of the AP poll.

Gonzaga has also lost just once, at the Battle 4 Atlantis the day after Thanksgiving. The Bulldogs have run roughshod over the West Coast Conference, with only two games decided by single digits. One factor moving forward for them is the availability of Killian Tillie.

Then there’s Kansas, which has three losses — but is atop most metric-based rankings. There has been constant discussion about how there’s no dominant team in college basketball this season, but this Jayhawks’ adjusted efficiency margin would rank in the top three in all but two seasons in the KenPom era (since 2001-02). They would be considered the No. 1 team in a couple of those seasons, too. Kansas leads the nation in Quadrant 1 wins, too.

For the Baylor Bears (No. 1), Freddie Gillespie is one of the best stories in college basketball. He’s averaging 10.1 points, 9.3 rebounds and 2.4 blocks and has been terrific over his past seven games. During that stretch, Gillespie is averaging 12.7 points, 8.9 rebounds and 2.6 blocks — while shooting 64.3% from the field.

Gonzaga’s (No. 2) past two games — at Santa Clara and at San Francisco — were two of the Bulldogs’ worst offensive outings in several weeks. Not surprisingly, one of them came when Tillie played only nine minutes and the other came with Tillie sidelined. There’s no definitive timetable for Tillie’s return, but the Zags need him healthy for the NCAA tournament. With him out for the San Francisco game, Mark Few went with essentially a six-man rotation and Drew Timme getting most of Tillie’s vacated minutes. In just his second start of the season, Timme answered the call against the Dons, finishing with 19 points, four rebounds and three blocks.

Meanwhile, last week the trip to Albuquerque was a cakewalk, with San Diego State rolling by 28. But Utah State did test the Aztecs. The Aggies went on a 19-3 run late in the first half and stayed in the game until a scoring drought in the final 10 minutes. San Diego State didn’t have trouble scoring against Utah State, but the Aztecs allowed 1.08 points per possession — their most all season. Most of that stemmed from the Aggies shooting 42.9% from 3; no other opponent has reached 40% all season.

Devon Dotson has certainly struggled in Kansas’ three losses, averaging 13.7 points, 3.3 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 3.7 turnovers and shooting 38.9% from the field. But Dotson has also come up big in some of the Jayhawks’ biggest wins, including 21 points Saturday against Texas Tech and 31 points against Dayton back in November. Dotson is No. 3 in KenPom’s Player of the Year rankings, top-10 in offensive box plus/minus and the only player in the country at least 5.0 adjusted points above replacement on both offense and defense at BartTorvik.com — one of just nine players in the past 12 seasons to hit that mark.
