NCAA Tournament Brackets and Draws

What did Buchanan do? Toss him? I was watching Coleman’s match and looked over and he was on his back.
Replay I saw was YB taking kind of a wild shot with short time left and getting whipped over.
YB is right with him then. Just needs to break through on his attacks.
Don’t be surprised to see 197 choosing bottom instead of neutral in more instances going forward
Has to, right? Losing 1-0 is a killer, especially for an athletic guy like that. Some Metz type guy? Maybe. Not Bastida.
I’m also surprised he hasn’t been able to take Woodley down in 2 matches and now couldn’t take Buchanan down. He’s so elite on his feet
I think when he starts 3rd period down 1-0, opponents go on defense mode and tougher to score on
Agree. I’m not ready to be concerned about it yet, but it’s not out of the realm of possibility that these guys have figured out the angle on Bastida. He’s athletic as hell, but he’s still learning and a bit limited on his attacks.
I’d like to see him develop a counter. Put these guys on their heels with fainted shots, get them worried about stalling (cause that’s what is happening to him
with guys like Woodley), and use his speed to counter.

Agreed a lot of lot level guys have a great re attack go behind. He needs guys to mix it up with him like Elam does and a lot of guys are just playing defense instead
Initial thoughts:
125: Honestly about the best draw he could've asked for. Realistic path to the quarters, then all you need is to win the blood round to get on the podium. Not expecting that to happen though, just hope he gets at least 1 win on Thursday and is wrestling Friday morning.
133: I would have the same goal as Kysen. Win one match Thursday and be wrestling on Friday. I think best case scenario for Ramazan is probably 2-2.
141: Not really sure what to expect from Ian. 13 seed is better than I expected, but if the same guy from Big 12s shows up, a 1-2 performance wouldn't surprise me. I am hoping he can get to the blood round and let it loose Friday night in Detroit. Best case scenario to me is probably 7th or 8th and hoping he can get it done!
149: I expect Jarrett to beat McDougald round 1, then lose to Yianni Thursday night. From there it really just depends on how his path lines up as far as making the blood round. Best case to me is 7th/8th, worst case 1-2.
157: Not a huge fan of Berge being the 16 seed and then either Lewan or Young in the quarters. I don't think he loses either match, but was hoping he would have guys he could bonus to the semis for the team race. Guessing it will be 2-4 point matches after his first round en route to the finals.
174: Goal for Joel is to win 1 match. Ceiling is probably 2-2, but would be happy with 1 win and have him wrestling Friday.
184: I expect Marcus to make the quarters, but lose to Amine. From there, it really just depends on who he wrestles in the blood round. I would say his ceiling is 5/6 match.
197: Wild card. Could go 1-2, could get hot and win the damn thing. A good tournament will have him being an AA, I would be disappointed if he doesn't at least make the blood round.
Hwt: Similar to 133 and 174, I am guessing Sammy will go 1-2 or 2-2, but probably won't be close to AA.
Can't wait for next week!

NCAA Team Scores Based On Tournament Seeds - FloWrestling
How would the 2022 NCAA Championship play out if every weight class went according to the seeds? We crunch the numbers to find out!
It goes without saying that we need all the other guys to step up next weekend. Carr should be good for 20+ with bonus points factored in. Can the other guys combine for 20+ points? If all goes great they might get 25 points combined.
I agree with this.
Braxton Amos is a tough first rd match. He's been somewhat dissappointing in folkstyle after winning a Jr world title in freestyle this past summer. The list of americans to win Jr World's is not very long (David Carr is one)!
I'd also rather Yonger had guys he hasn't wrestled 3x (Elam) and 2x (Buchanan) in his path. He has such a unique feel and skillset, I personally think it would be better to see guys he hasn't hit before.

I think if Yonger gets a 1st period takedown, then choosing neutral is an option. If he goes the 1st 3 minutes and most the 2nd period (since Yonger doesn't ride hard) and no takedown is scored, he has to take the chance and go down.
Kysen - 1 pt
Ramazan - 1 pt
Parker - 7th, 7 pts
Degen - 8th, 7 pts
Carr - Champ, 22 pts
Coleman - 7th, 7 pts
Bastida - 7th, 7 pts
Sam - 1 pt
Being very optimistic at 53 points. I think the floor is somewhere around 28 points.
53 points would've put us 9th last year. I am hoping we can get top 10, but will take a great tournament to get there.
The range is really all over the place. It’s about 30-55 points max. Hope they show up to put on a show!
