Nick Lee can do some damage on the back end, but he is going to need to really bonus guys for the team race, and we are going to need some real luck with some tOSU guys going down early as well.
It's a shame, Lee is much better than that and Keener was much better on his feet. We are so used to our guys coming out and performing great on day one and this year is the opposite.
It's a long tourney, though. It's not over.

Nick's into another frying pan with Alber his 1st round consi opponent. No room for error now.
Nick Lee vs 9 seed Alber in consis. Alber didn't look great. If Lee goes 0-2 are we effectively out of the running with OSU?
#9 seed goes down in 141 as well making it harder for Lee to battle back
So about that Lee-Alber rematch, it is happening in the consi first round tonight. Alber upset by Perry of EMU
