Mizzou Arena will host a watch party on Saturday for fans to view the Missouri Tigers women's gymnastics team compete in the 2025 NCAA Gymnastics Championship Final. The event is free and open to the public.
Doors at Mizzou Arena are scheduled to open at 2 p.m., with the NCAA Championship Preview show beginning at 2:30 p.m. and the main event starting at 3 p.m. on ABC. Fans are advised to use the north doors for entry, and parking around the arena will be available without restrictions.
This marks the first time in program history that Mizzou, currently ranked No. 7 nationally, has advanced to the NCAA Championship Final. The Tigers will face Oklahoma, Utah, and UCLA at Dickies Arena in Fort Worth, Texas.
The team secured its place in the final by finishing second to Oklahoma during Thursday's semifinal round. In a close finish, they surpassed Florida with a score of 197.3000-197.2000 for the session's second Finals berth.
All-American Helen Hu from Chicago played a key role by scoring 9.9875 on balance beam during the final event of the semifinal round. This performance not only clinched Mizzou's spot in the Finals but also earned Hu an individual NCAA Championship title on beam.
"Mizzou fans are invited to show their spirt and create a championship atmosphere at Mizzou Arena on Saturday for a live watch party to watch the Tigers compete in the 2025 NCAA Gymnastics Championship Final. The event is free and open to the public," according to organizers.
