PK and the bull have so much in common
The more I think about it I think they told him exactly what you're saying. Just get a lead and cruise because his toughest matches will be the quarters and semis.
He’s going to kick himself for losing that. Bracket was tailor made for an easy run to the quarters
Last year at NCAAs
4-0 to Washington (you know he wanted to do more lol)
5-2 to O'Reilly
I was legitimately worried about the Foca match then he had another gear saved.
Don't get me wrong, he's not 100% but he didn't seem to be favoring the knee.
PK is still a 165 wrestling 174 end of the day. Weight class is easier so there is a chance he can make noise at NCAAs. Strong as he is, his reach definitely hurts also. We saw it with Bartlett for 2 years.
Moore beat Matthews, which wasn’t an upset but something I’m not sad about, as I didn’t really like a Beau vs Matthews matchup in the 2nd round
He really wasn't favoring it, every time he got up that was the knee he pressed off on.
Hello NCAA Bernie. Takedown and 3NF turn off the whistle basically.
Berge got hammered 9-1. Didn’t see that one coming
Another beautiful single by Truax! It’s so pretty when he times it just right
I am so impressed with TJ Stewart. I liked him a lot in high school but I was concerned his lack of length might be an issue. It sure hasn’t been. He is super dynamic on his feet and is fun to watch. His first win against Fishback in the dual was awesome
This may well be part of the story, but Starocci also didn't look near his normal self.
TF for Truax. He looked great!

Foca goes down. Maybe? Reviewing the last td. Td confirmed and Foca loses
VA Tech gets a pin in .0000001, while Carter is laying on top for hours! Lol
Nagao draws 26 seed Moore and then most likely 24 seed Chelebove. Then it’s probably 16 seed Bouzakis, who beat Nagao in the dual meet, holding off Aaron’s 3rd period comeback. If he can win that, he’ll have to beat the loser of 3 seed Orine and 6 seed Arujau to reach the podium.
matcast on ESPN+ is great. At any time I can toggle to a close up on another screen. Nirvana.
I wish they had more in common. Then we could at least get him to quarters smh
AB being AB and I am relaxing a little. Nagao was a hard way to start the day.
Kasak draws 23 seed Roberts and then the loser of 8 seed Swiderski and 9 seed Fernandez. A win there will probably draw the winner of 15 Munson and 17 Rooks. And then it’ll take a dub over the loser of 6 Gomez and 3 Arrington to reach the podium.
There was a dark age when ESPN3 took away the quad box and they didn't have a matcast. Lots of shuffling tv and tabs back in those days.
