2024 NCAA's - Match/discussion threads (merged)

Bastida goes down to Davidson!! Wow,
Davidson with a beautiful leg-trip TD with only seconds remaining in the match.
 
Closer than need be but A) Feldman has been trending up all year and B) it’s the third time they’ve met.

Would I like him to open up more? Sure. But it was definitely a match that had me a little spooked going in.

#1 G.Kerkvliet DEC #9 N.Feldman 1-0

Another win! Feldman looked like his strategy was to keep it close & try for a takedown at the end. He was extremely cautious throughout the match, but just couldn't get the takedown at the end. Kerk is just too powerful for him & seemed in control the entire time. Great job Greg! On to the next round!

Feldman is my winner of it all next year.

Yeah, Feldman is no joke and can really scramble for a big guy. He's continued to close the gap on Kerk. Would have loved for Kerk to work harder for a TD before the 3rd period, but he got the job done (survive and advance).
