You can see why guys don’t shoot on Luke, anyone that opens up against him is going to get picked apart.

100%. To beat Luke you don’t shoot and make him initiate offense. If you attack he will kill you with his reattacks

Keys for MB... Don't stop doing what you were doing just because you lost the last one. Keep doing the things YOU do. MAKE HIM make the mistakes. Trust your scramble, you are as good as Jax at it, but you don't use it. Don't let him get a leg then hold it as a time eater. Keep the match FLUID

McGowan called his dual meet with Princeton where he got stalled out probably the most embarassing match of his career. Said he's excited to face Lilledahl and get a shot at redemption.
