#5 Lockett (Okla. St.) in some trouble in Cons. R3. He's down 5-0 to #13 seed Sparks (Minny), and the ref is holding 4 NF (now awarded, so it's 9-0). Plus Sparks has over 2 minutes of RT and we're in the 2nd period.

And just like that, Lockett gets a REV late in the period, so it's 9-2, heading into the 3rd period

Lockett getting hammered. Down 9-0 in the second. Who would’ve thought that out of all of the OKST stud freshman he would have the worst season?

I recognize coming out of redshirt midseason is never ideal. Not sure if there's a weight cut issue or more here, but Davis looks nothing like the promising freshman and All American he was last year. No confidence, no ability to defend shots in the 3rd period, half-hearted shots with no finishes.

I think it's premature to throw in the towel on him. I'm not sure where he fits in the lineup (maybe 149 after SVN leaves), but he has the potential to be a top-5 guy if he can fix the gas tank issues, and more importantly - what's going on between the ears.
Regardless of weight, his problem is between his ears. He really needs to get his head on straight. Sadly, the team isn't getting though to him, staff included.

Braeden is one hell of a great teammate. One of the first in line to congratulate others. But something is going on with him. I dont know, or need to know, what that is.

Honestly, if I was his father, I would thank the staff, but pull him close to home.

Good for Sparks, this is his 5th National Tournament and finally a shot to get on the podium. I remember him wrestling Joe Lee in the first round back at the 21 Tournament.

LOL so Forrest is the talk yet Duke has better wins so far

and if Duke Techs or pins his way to champion-- Forrest wins top wreslter of tourney becuase you know he was just in high school
Who do you think is better between antrell Taylor and drake Ayala? They seem pretty even to me tbh

If Forrest wins out (and that's a big if given his real competition starts tonight) then I personally don't think there is a comparison between the depth of 133 and 157. Marcus Blaze at the 3 seed (and seidel at 4) are both far superior to the 2 seed at 157

I have mentioned Davis’s mental state and temper but I also have to mention 3 years in a row he was supposed to redshirt and got thrown into the fire. Never had a year to get ready for specific weight. It’s really not fair what the team has asked of him for his development as a wrestler.
he had 3 yrs to develop not much improvment~
