I think everyone's tank gets emptied after fighting off their back for 30ish seconds. He then followed it up with a 30 second sprint to get back in it, and that put a fork in him.
I have the Big 12 at 17 AA going in. Things like Poulin upsets don't help, but even without that I assume half or less of those that AA do it via making the semis.
From Flo. I feel vindicated and validated:
PINFALL ALERT: Kai Orine of NC State and the viral video of him celebrating an ACC title pins Gable Strickland of Lock Haven, sending precious bonus points to the Wolfpack. NC State now in first place with a whopping four team points.
Yes, he lost his bronze. Soner Demirtas of Turkey now gets the bronze.

By the way, I do think/hope it will be Spencer Lee (by a lot). He has a chance to get to 101 NCAA tournament points with his average performance and 106 with a pinfest.
101 would place him fourth all-time behind Cael Sanderson (107.5), Logan Stieber (103.5), and Ed Banach (102.5). And 106 puts him number two all-time. Heady stuff.
I have horrifically mis-managed today. I hired a consultant to set up meetings for a new product push into a new market. I have 8, 10, 1, 2, 2:30, and 3 meetings. All my fault.
