The #5 seed’s best wins are over the #7, 10, and 11 seeds, and he also did not do very well at the conference tournament. If there was ever a time for committee intervention, Carter Starocci was it. What were the two RPIs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wrestle87 Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Feldman at the 9 and Davison at the 10 is the ultimate “punished for beating your opponent” in these brackets that I can see. Feldman’s going to have a lot of work to do in the bloodround, and Davison has as much of a chance against Bastida as anybody in the bottom half of that bracket. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crookham wrestles and beats the returning NCAA and World champ twice and Fix ducks Crookham in the dual and is rewarded with the #1 seed.

But nobody is beating Crooham. Crookham is no sloth. His first TD against Vito at EIWA shows his quickness. https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxatAdeORS2Y93acMbV6z4N4ax27dDUWq0?si=uF5YOL4jOFXCAWZS Edited March 14 by lu_alum 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

End of story Mekhi should have the advantage over a one-legged Starocci. Only problem is Mekhi will have to actually take a shot. The counter-offense crap from neutral isn't gonna cut it at NCAAs, if Starocci doesn't shoot w a gimpy wheel. Starocci will likely be content to go scoreless in the first period and take the match to the mat. Edited March 14 by lu_alum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimmyCinnabon Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 12 hours ago, 1032004 said: I feel like a lot of that talk died down after seeing Mesenbrink/Hamiti, because people knew Mesenbrink deserved the 2. And with Carr losing to Ramírez it’s kinda tough to argue putting him at 3. To that point, the overall takeaway to me is that sitting out duals pays off. Fix and Ramírez being the biggest beneficiaries. As a result of the Carr/Ramírez situation I feel like we could see less guys enter CKLV because they don’t want to take an early season loss that they may not be able to avenge until NCAA’s. The reality is that for most guys a good seed at the tournament can be the difference between being an AA or not. Or making the finals or not. For the elite guys it simply doesn't matter where they are seeded. The truly elite guys will win it all no matter who they wrestle and when. Guys like Fix aren't concerned with seeds anyway.

And more teams/guys may not in order to protect their seed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
