[Cylife]

My upset pick for the round is gaitan over singleton and everything else to seed. Let’s roll

 

[CloneFanInKC]

My upset pick for the round is gaitan over singleton and everything else to seed. Let’s roll

I hope the Grice match doesn't go as seeded.

 

[ISU22CY]

My upset pick for the round is gaitan over singleton and everything else to seed. Let’s roll

I like Grice

 

[Diehardisu6988]

Not the match I want for Zerban. Hope he proves me wrong

[NWICY]

So are we doing about as good as we thought?

 

[BCClone]

So are we doing about as good as we thought?

No, if things would’ve went as seed, we would’ve had nine on the front one on the back. We did not do well at the big 12s and our seeds are rough due to that.

 

[crablegs]

So are we doing about as good as we thought?

9 advancing would have been a perfect round. I think 8 would have still been very good. 7 is not bad, but keeping pace with 7 bonus points is nice. So, overall solid round. Tons of matches left.

 

[BirdOfWar]

9 advancing would have been a perfect round. I think 8 would have still been very good. 7 is not bad, but keeping pace with 7 bonus points is nice. So, overall solid round. Tons of matches left.

I think from a score perspective we are about where we had hoped, but as some have mentioned we would like another 1-2 alive on the championship side of the bracket.

 

[theshadow]

Consolations will be on the outer mats (1-2, 7-8). Pigtails first, followed by R32.

Championship R16 will be the inner mats (3-6).

Poulin and Seymour will be up first on Mat 6.

 

[JM4CY]

Someone tell Ryan his mic is a little hot.

 

[theshadow]

Poulin 0-0 after 1.

Seymour has been warned for stalling.

 

[CycloneCarl5]

Id rather see Stevo cut his guys than give up a reversal all the time..

 

[theshadow]

2-2 early 3rd, RT not currently a factor.

 

[theshadow]

Seymour wins 5-4.

 

[CycloneCarl5]

That reversal screwed him..

 

[JM4CY]

Damn it

 

[CycloneVet]

Damn wanted that one

 

[JohnPrineforCy]

Hard to win when you don’t try shooting until the last 30 sec.
