Great to see nine in the tournament – – but still would have liked to see Anthony White in. Was it a close call with him?

I disagree. I think most of our guys despite being lower seeds have winnable first round matches and are in decent position to advance in consolations.

Shawver, SCW, Catka have very tough first rounds.Cotton, Olivieri, Clark and Pinto are in good positions first round.Smith and Barbosa, are 50/50

There is a potential for Peterson and Ayden to meet in 2nd round. They are both underdogs on paper.

It seems like there has been a Renteria wrestling forever.

Ayden is an underdog to Renteria(9). And Peterson is a pretty big fav over Nebraska kid (25). Yeah, if Ayden won good chance him and Peterson meet round 2… now that would be interesting.

Check out Ryder’s injuries and what he did in the Big 12 Tourney. SCW is on a good position. Like his seed.

 

[Tango Two]

Yes

You realize Barbosa almost majored his kid the first time they wrestled right? Also I believe pinto almost got majored by Schubert when we dialed Oklahoma.

hardest draws:
Smith, Shawver, Clark, Catka
