Cal made waves in all of the individual events tonight, along with a win in the 200 free relay. But Texas’s divers did their job, their top divers Jordan Windle and Noah Duperre going 1-2 and keeping the Longhorns close in the title chase. The Longhorns also claimed the 400 medley relay title, giving them momentum heading into day three.
Cal out-performed their day two psych sheet projections by 44 points, and they hold a 27-point lead over Texas going into the third day of this meet. Freshman Destin Lasco going from a 50+ seed to finishing third in the 200 IM was a huge gain for Cal.
Florida, meanwhile, is behind Texas in third at 161 points. NC State gained 24 points on psych projections, and they’re in sixth, just a single point behind Texas A&M. Virginia and Florida State also out-performed what they had on paper.
Ohio State was way off of their psych projected day two total, behind by over 50 points, while Louisville was also off (by 21.5).
Looking down to the full data at the bottom, Cal is holding onto the lead by a projected 31.5 points. The Bears have a weak day on paper tomorrow, but they have a big day four set-up.

They outscored their seed with 44.
They already had the highest seeded score and they outscored their seed with 44!!!!!
Cal has 3 guys who could/should A final on the last day and are currently seeded outside of scoring range. Grishop, Hugo and Bjorn. So the TX divers top 2 guys looked pretty steady while other divers choked today so maybe its a wash. My hot take is that it comes down to the backstroke races as its looks like Cal and Tx swimmers are fighting for the same spots in the A final and whoever wins this battle will have an edge. There seems to be a ton of guys right at 45.0 in the 100 and in the 200 its survival of the fittest with Cal a big edge on paper going in.
That 100 back is looking wild for tomorrow. So many 44 high’s/45 lows and even Casas is off his best.
I believe your caption is inaccurate. Cal leads by 27 after tonight, not 65.
There are these things called calculators…
Ummm…isn’t the score 230 to 203?
We’re all going to look back at this thread and laugh someday.
