Note- Laux got eliminated 8-6 by Delvecchio

 

[LaxHawk174]

That is Terao's little brother, I believe, not the 2016 AA.

 

[WWDMHawkeye]

Yep. That was David. Had a great run in his last Nationals.

Some great tests this round.

125 - Gilman shouldn't get pushed, but I'm interested to see if he can get the tech or pin against a step up in competition.

149 - anything other than a 4-2/4-3 win from Sorensen would be surprising.

157 - great test for Kemmerer. Did these 2 meet up last year? I think Kem can get the win.

174 - Spoom is a tough competitor. I expect Meyer to win a close one.

Hvy - great test for Stoll. No worries win or lose, but good to see where he's at against a guy like this. I think Stoll could be in the 3-4 Match at NCAA.

 

[AFHawk86]

All winnable matches in this next round. Kemerer - Tsirtsis is the most intriguing to me.

All winnable matches in this next round. Kemerer - Tsirtsis is the most intriguing to me.

This should be a great match up. Tshirt looks to have shaken off the rust and has looked solid thus far. My concern is Kem getting out from bottom. BS had this problem with Tshirt, he's a hell of a rider. Kem was very aggressive with his shots last few rounds, would think he needs to lead early so Tshirt has to cut him to score.

If the match hinges on a Kem escape, it could be a potentially frustrating and long match. Not the match Kem wants to be in.

Win or lose this is the kind of guy we want Kemerer on the mat with right now. Put him under and make him fight to get out. It's good for him.

Against Tsirtsis, I doubt he'll be able to suck in shots like he's done with lesser opponents. He needs to set up and execute better.

 

[Sandor45]

Anyone know what time the semis are scheduled to start? Thanks

 

[Squarehat]

Noon

 

[24 so far]

Against Tsirtsis, I doubt he'll be able to suck in shots like he's done with lesser opponents. He needs to set up and execute better.

If Kem is going to win this match, it's going to be 3-2 type of thing, the same way 99% of Tsirtsis matches go against people with a pulse. Frankly I'd be mildly stunned to see Kem win this. Hell of a test.

 

[neversurrender]

Does tshirt have to sit this whole year or is he able to wrestle second half? I am sure it's been talked about but I can't remember how the rules work for sure.

Sitting the whole year. They petitioned for a 6th year given his whole situation and got it

Thanks, I thought that was the case but I couldn't remember for sure.

Medberry is forfeiting out.

Medberry is forfeiting out.

Wow, wonder why...

 

[WWDMHawkeye]

Sorry to hear that, but it sure helps Sam's chances at a title if he can get past the semis.
