***Big 12 Championships (Sat./Sun.)***
- Thread starter theshadow
- Start date
Knowing Gomez I’m sure he will let it fly and make the most of it, but man he doesn’t look good. Looks like a torn up knee
Going just by CR/RPI in the pre-tournament allocations, he was the 6th man at a weight that was taking 5.
If Eischens beats Valencia, Broderson is likely in.
He had 1 point losses during the season to the following qualifiers - Ruth, Eischens, Picklo, DeVos. Couldn’t win the close ones
On a related note - I just checked the Intermat rankings. Redding up a spot to 15, Swiderski up to 22 from 32, Paniero up to 4 from 10, Kraiser up to #20 from 26, Yonger all the way down to 16, Sam up to 6 from 8. Broderson dropped out of the rankings, and no entry at 125.
Team is now at 6th, but just 2.5 points out of 4th and just 5 points out of third. A healthy YB and everyone wrestling to seed and a podium is not a crazy thought.

Seeds tomorrow and I can’t wait. Yonger at 16 is nuts, but deserved for how he’s wrestled lately.
Paniro can make a run to the finals as long as he’s opposite Yianni.
David wins and gets 22. Paniro and Coleman combine for 20-22. Yonger and Sam combine for 10. Those aren’t crazy expectations and that right there guys us to 52-54 points. Need a couple from the rest of the guys and it’s within reach. Between the other 3 we might get lucky and get 5 or 6 points
Paniro said it himself he is never losing again, so it doesn't really matter what side he is on.
Normally we are on the same page. However, It's impossible for me to think that someone as high level as KOT would be "completely defeated right now" because he lost in over-time. If anything I'd predict he's encouraged because he closed the gap in regulation and in his mind he'd probably tell you he got "caught" in OT going for a TD.
Yeah thats probably the more accurate way to look at it. Just have all the confidence in David right now, and I am having a hard time seeing him lose again.
I would have never predicted him as low as 16 (not saying he doesn't deserve it either). I also would have never predicted the returning champ to be #9 and the returning runner up to be #13. What a meat grinder year at this weight... It's chewing guys up.
I wonder if Yonger MFF's the last 2 matches does his ranking drop that much?
My best estimate for seeding based on rankings and kind of how things were seeded last year.
133 - Redding - 18-22ish
141 - Swiderski - 24-28ish
149 - Johnson - 3 to 6ish
157 - Kraisser - 20 to 25ish
165 - Carr - 1
184 - Coleman - 4 to 6ish
197 - Bastida - 10 to 15ish
285 - Schuyler - 7 to 9ish
133 - Redding - 18-22ish
141 - Swiderski - 24-28ish
149 - Johnson - 3 to 6ish

165 - Carr - 1
184 - Coleman - 4 to 6ish
197 - Bastida - 10 to 15ish
285 - Schuyler - 7 to 9ish
I kind of chuckled watching sv/utb play out. Normally I am a Sloan fan being he's an Iowa kid, but if the number 1 seed in the conference is wrestling that style of a match it is a bad look. I love watching Olympic style wrestling & would love to see an activity clock. Another change I would like, is that any stoppage would result in a neutral restart.

The Bockman loss hurt even though he beat him earlier. Pentz lose wasn't as bad
