2018 NCAAs -- Session 1 Thread

Nick Lee can do some damage on the back end, but he is going to need to really bonus guys for the team race, and we are going to need some real luck with some tOSU guys going down early as well.

It's a shame, Lee is much better than that and Keener was much better on his feet. We are so used to our guys coming out and performing great on day one and this year is the opposite.

It's a long tourney, though. It's not over.

Nick's into another frying pan with Alber his 1st round consi opponent. No room for error now.
 
Nick Lee vs 9 seed Alber in consis. Alber didn't look great. If Lee goes 0-2 are we effectively out of the running with OSU?

Nick is fearless, and I would not be surprised to see him beat Alber. If he does he can still do damage. I'm in an optimistic mood, which for me is rare when it comes to sports, so I'm taking Nick.

No, but it lowers our margin of error. It reduces our potential team points by about 7-10.
 
We badly badly need someone from OSU to take an upset this round. So far OSU is dominating and getting bonus points while our guys are giving up bonus points. Not used to seeing this

Retherford was really straining for the fall there, was damn close, settles for the tech just barely
 
Got to give Springer credit, most would have folded. Dominate performance by Zain.
For sure. gotta tip your hat to that kid. Zain beat the crap out of him, but somehow managed not to get pinned.
 
Hayes should get a stall warning for taking 20 seconds to walk back to the restart
 
hayes match is what wins tourneys....hate to say it but that was guts.
 
I honestly won’t be able to watch tom Ryan strut around all weekend if they win it. Will throw a brick through the tv. How does Hayes pull that out
