I'm not sure why, because every time that I worry about Kasak he ends up doing something remarkable, but I admit that I am a bit nervous about Cannon. Just a little bit nervous though and mostly excited for Kasak.
 
And now Shayne kicks Parco's backside. Very nice. Horrible news with a possible injury for Barr and the Davis loss was frustrating, but damn, hard not to be pretty happy with how this tournament has gone. It is remarkable how Van Ness absolutely owns Parco, who isn't chopped liver. Should help Shayne's seed at NCAA's as well.
Assuming Henson wins ACCs, he and Lovett will be the 1 and 2 seeds, in that order.

Henson might get the 1 anyway. He'd beat Lovett in H2H, Win %, and RPI.

"Helps" or "hurts" seed is just a matter of which we'd rather see Shayne face in the semis.
 
Does Lovett owe Cael royalty fees for using “grateful” more than once in an interview?
 
That match right there between Webster and Lovett is what is wrong with Folk wrestling. Lovett escaped in like 15 seconds and Webster choose Neutral...., so they spent like 6 minutes and 45 seconds dancing around in Neutral... The final score was 1-0 on an "escape" - IOW zero offensive points scored or even close to being scored (the two wrestlers spent 90% of the time doing the Tango on the perimeter of the mat. Sorry, but that is not wrestling.
