2024 NCAA's - Day 1 - Match/discussion thread

Iowa has really stormed back after some tough losses in session 1
 
Session II 2024 - 28.5 points with 3 matches to go

Last two years after Session II

Two years ago
1: PENN STATE 27.5
2: Arizona State 22.0
3: North Carolina State 21.5

Last year
1: PENN STATE – 26.0
2: Iowa – 21.5
3: Three-way tie for third
 
And Lewis just won a close one to the 16 seed…
Ok maybe I should have kept my opinion to myself. Lol. Kid was sick much of year, gassing at times throughout the year then the knee injury. We don't know what that's doing to him and his conditioning. I saw Spencer Lee losing at nationals for those very same reasons. These kids are all good and most have to be at their absolute best to win it all. Yes, Carter is special but so was Lee. Shit happens at Nationals.

For sure, but Carter was never someone who went nuts over game opponents. He definitely isn't himself and I CAN see him losing, but he's Carter for a reason. He's going to go down swinging.
