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

Based on comments Cael has made over the season I’ll be surprised if Kasak redshirts. I get the impression Tyler doesn’t want to sit, ever.
If it’s ever ever ever ever, he might have to leave. Hammers at every weight around him, could be top 3 in the country but not the best in his own room next year.

If Guns actually blocked the people he claims he did, he'd be a literal echo chamber.

OK, even more of one than he currently is.

Bernie Truax takes 5th Place! What a match! Great job Bernie! Great way to end your college career & more team points!
 
It's crazy that they robbed Crookham the way they did, Fix ducking him cost him a spot in the finals.
The "they" is Santoro for not getting Crookham a better schedule, so that he would've won Quality Wins over Fix regardless.

I think there are several ways to change the seeding criteria to make it fairer, which would likely have bumped Crookham to the 1 seed -- but these were the rules everyone agreed to when Lehigh set its schedule.
 
My shoulder hurt watching Watters getting that escape in 2nd period

On top of that, I’m pretty sure that Fix was dealing with an injury for a while this season. Neither Santoro nor Smith had any control with that situation.
