scribers Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 Congrats to Lehigh. You’ve always managed to put up a foil to most of Cornell’s finest. Taking out a world champ this time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mspart Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 I would consider that. I would consider that Crook beat Vito twice this year. I would like to see either Fix or Vito in the opposite bracket from Crook. Two hammers that will be tough to get through but what I saw on that video was a man that seems up to it. And Lehigh has had its share of AAs and champions.

That is on the list of subjective considerations which are new for this year: Bad losses (Under .500% win percentage). Outside the top 30 Coaches Rank and/or top 30 RPI. Conference champion. Performance in last five matches (including conference tournament). Number of injury default or medical forfeit wins/losses. Best quality win. Wrestler availability (Injured or medically unable to compete). Drowning in data, but thirsting for knowledge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two guys who were finalists or at least ranked #2 and at that level from Lehigh Valley include Trenge and Mike Brown - not sure if Brown made the finals but know he was very close to NCAA title.

BAC Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 Can't think of another weight where seeding is so consequential. I think Fix is a bad stylistic matchup for Crookham, so I'd consider Crookham the favorite if he is top seed (Vito takes Fix out in bottom bracket), but Fix the favorite if he's top seed (Crookham takes out Vito in bottom bracket). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Crookham has at least equal skill to Fix and their main difference is maybe just Fix man strength, but Crookham is very strong himself.

I don't really disagree. As I see it, and I'm wildly oversimplifying here, Crookham can deal with Vito's lightning-fast attacks but Fix can't. Crookham does well against Vito because of his insanely quick reaction time to Vito's insanely quick attacks. I don't think that will come into play so much when Crookham wrestles Fix, who frankly doesn't attack much against top competition and is more of a counter-wrestler himself. And although Crookham is fast, he hasn't developed that into the sort of offensive arsenal that Vito has, so I expect him to struggle to score. In a Crookham-Fix match, I'd expect a low scoring, OT-type affair, where Crookham is a bit faster but Fix has the edge in experience and, perhaps, strength and gas tank. And if it happens right after Crookham has to deal with Vito, I'd give the edge to Fix. Edited March 13 by BAC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
