Davis v Hardy might be good.
Braeden looked composed today.

I think Hardy takes Vega in Gumby-fest III

133 and 157 will get interesting tomorrow.

The Hardy/Davis match worries me. Davis was absolutely handling him in the dual until Hardy pinned him in a scramble. Davis won't get caught again. He's one guy I didn't want to see in Hardy's path. With Manning's teams propensity to underperform on the big stage, and PSU being the exact opposite, that could be the upset of the tournament.

Not sure on the team trophy. Other than last year NU has badly underperformed at Nationals. Hopefully we end up top 4. I can see VanDee, Araujo, Lamar, McDanel, and Allred not placing. Lauridsen may win 1. Rest of them will need to outwrestle their seeds to stay in the top 4.

I was high on Araujo. He's annoying to watch warm up ie....let's pace in front of the entire arena starting at 125. But I thought he was scrappy. That was a schitty loss. I'd bet he scraps a bit on the backside.

Minto w TF? Looks good. But I bet Levi figures out anti crotch lock methods this week. Think he was in on 3 solid shots on Minto at B10s.

Pinto went down 1st round.

Davis implodes and Hardy major's at minimum. Davis was 2-0 over a scrub!

Nice win by Lamer

.....and Braeden begs Carl for a brick that never shows and launches his headgear into the crowd....

Nebraska doing Nebraska things on the big stage. #6 LJ Araugo wining 6-3, and riding time secured with 10 seconds left in the match. Gives up a locked hands, escape and TD to lose 8-7. To the #26 seed. We won't be getting a trophy this year.

LJ is from our town. We were pulling for him but it didn't work out. Some shocked parents at the gym tonight for my kids' youth wrestling practice.
