NCAA Tournament Preview/Predictions/Results
- Thread starter Judoka
- Start date
To be honest I stepped into the living room for a moment for the basketball game and didn't see what it was. He didn't appear to be limping too badly but lots of grimacing and tenderfooting.
To recap:
Finch is 1-1, will have Morrison from Oklahoma State tomorrow morning in the wrestlebacks. Finch is 1-1 against Morrison this year.
Goettl is 1-1. He has Mitchell Port of Edinburo (28-9) tomorrow in the wrestlebacks. They have two common opponents. Both close losses for Port, a close win and a pin for Goettl. Goettl certainly has a great chance but I wouldn't call it a sure thing.
Sorenson is 2-0 and into the Quarterfinals. He has #11 seed Hatchett from Lehigh. Hatchett has 3 losses this year. 1 was an injury forfeit, second was a 4-6 Overtime loss to #4 seed Bekzod Abdurakhmanov of Clarion. The last was a 5-8 loss to top seeded David Taylor of Penn State. He also has a win over #9 seed Conrad Polz of Illinois as well as an upset over #6 Peter Hates of Virginia Tech in the last round. Hatchett is no slouch. Sorenson has beaten a lot of guys better than Hatchett this year, but he'll have to bring his "A" game tomorrow to keep on rolling.
Beard went 0-2 and is done.
Gibson is 1-1. He will have Peter Sturgeon of Central Michigan tomorrow morning. They met at Midlands with Gibson winning 7-2.
Of our four matches in Round 3, I feel the best about Gibson's. I'd consider 2-2 to be acceptable (as long as Sorenson is one of them), 3-1 to be good, and 4-0 to be great and very attainable.

I am reading the article on Cyclones.com this morning and it says that Sorenson 'recieved treatment immediately after the win' and Jackson had a quote about him not being 100%. Anybody know what is hurting? That doesn't bode well for his match this morning.
The article in the des Moines register said Sorensen left the arena with ice taped to his ankle.

I was just reading that as well. Hopefully it isn't a bad sprain and a night's rest, some tape, and painkillers can keep him close to 100%.
I respect that Hamilton does a decent job covering ISU and UNI. He is far better than most Rag reporters in that. However, it is really annoying that they send a Hawkeye beat reporter and put the wrestling articles in 'Hawk Central'.
