Ironside comments

During the consolation semi's:
"Ohio State has wrestled out of their minds, we've had big losses, like Telford losing first round, and we are still in it right now."
They also, mentioned that at that time, OSU had scored 2 more bonus points than us. Bonus points aren't the difference, they won some matches they weren't favored, we lost some where we were favored.
 
Gilman, Clark, Sorensen, Brooks all wrestled at or above seed.

Jeva #5--DNP
Evans #3--6
Telford #--5

That is 14 points in placement alone, if these 3 had wrestled to seed or better.

5th year seniors, Mike Kelly and Nick Moore a collective 0-4. Zero points. If you get 2 point each from them that 4 plus the 14 above and you get plus 18. 18 points below seed for the 5th year senior class.

Add this to the current 84 points and that would put Iowa at 98, with oh state with 94. In this scenario, a Clark win tonight may have been enough.

Yep. Matchups that favored Ohio State as well as under-performances by their opponents and by our own guys.

Blame Missouri for allowing Ohio State to get two more in the finals. Booooooooo.
