TUSCALOOSA, Ala. - A week after posting the nation's top score, the No. 4 ranked Alabama Gymnastics team returns to action 7:30 p.m. Friday night in Coleman Coliseum against No. 24 Kentucky with eye on taking another step forward in its journey to the NCAA Championships.
"While I'm certainly pleased with how we performed last weekend, I know that for us to be successful, we have to work on building our depth," head coach Sarah Patterson said. "We can't rely on the same people to go 13 weeks in a row and expect to be successful. We have to get some more people out on different events and develop our lineup where we are nine to 10 gymnasts deep on each event."
That doesn't mean that the Crimson Tide is overlooking the Wildcats, a team that has traditionally competed very well in Tuscaloosa. But Patterson believes that she can shuffle the lineup without a drop in scoring potential.
