Tough to see Degen go out like that. Gave it his all for the program for 5 years. Sucks his body couldn't hold up for the end of it. Thanks for the memories Degen.

It’d be nice to have ONE person outperform their seed...let alone live up to it
Not sure how much is mental and how much is health, but sure wasn't expecting this
Hate to see Degen go out like that. 4x qualifier 2x AA thanks for your contribution to the program.
Yeah. I leave room for the possibility ( God forbid for these guys) there was a non-COVID illness lurking. But it may just be a culmination of injuries.
terukina lives up to his
You could clearly see he wasn't going to do anything in the tourney. He's an injured one-trick pony. I'm not down on him, I'm down on the decision to go w/ him instead of Cam.
& I got blasted for my "fool's gold" comment. I'm a Cyclone wrestling fan, but also a realist. I believe he can be good,but proof is in the pudding.

We said this frequently during the KJ years. We don't need excuses, only results.
Coleman needs to avoid the big move wrestle sound and keep pressure all the way through.
Ian is going to have to wrestle 100x better than he did today to get the upset. He just looks slow with his knee which does not match well with Red’s quickness
At this point him beating Deakin for the title is all that can encourage me about this weekend.
Unfortunately, Hidlay is looking awfully dominant also. If David gets through Lee and Hidlay, I'll lay money on him beating Deakin.
The real gut punch in all of this is that there was not a single one in which we were overmatched. A lot of them were tossups, a lot of them we were solid favorites (Parker). And we just....rolled....over.
Kysen's opponents were boarderline NQ's, but so is he.
Gave Redding the benefit of the doubt in R1 vs. a decent opponent, he made a couple freshman mistakes. Then he came out and layed an egg vs. a bad opponent.
Neither of Ian's opponents were anywhere close to his level. I have never seen this lack of offense from him. Someone said above his knee is hurt and that's the only thing that makes sense.
A healthy Deagan beats Parroit 7-10 times. But his second opponent was just bad....losing career record. I was never a huge Jarred guy, but it's obvious he's a shell of his old self.
David has a tough road ahead, but looks to be on a mission. The next two days are just watching him.
Colbray, Coleman & Gremmel all have tough matches tonight. I won't be surprised if the trend continues, but will be rooting hard for the guys.
