Offical Big12 Championship thread

Cyler just laid his guy out ... timeout on the mat for injury time.

Reader is in control of his match and goes into the 3rd up 5 to 0 plus riding time advantage.
 
Cyler wins 12 to 9 with a late takedown and a 2 point near fall ... thing of beauty.

Burk was down 2 to 1 to start the 2nd period.

Burk lost ... looked like Burk had a good shot and McSpadden just countered it for 2 points ... I didn't have a good view of it though.
 
So I believe that means we're getting 9 to the NCAA's, and Burke would have to hope for a wildcard (doesn't seem likely?).

7 guaranteed 2nd at worst are all in. Reader & Sanderson guaranteed 4, with 5 & 4 making it in their weights. Burke gets 5th, with only 3 guranteed from his weight.

But you never know.
 
Remaining ISU consolations:
Sanderson v. Neil Erisman
Reader v. Brandon Mason
Burk is done.... It's a shame it ended how it did: McSpadden got into some sort of side mount while Burk still had a hold of his leg. Nothing really changed, but they gave McSpadden the takedown.
The thing about Burk is that he has a high coaches ranking and a low RPI. He has a 17-7 record, but nine of those wins came in the Grand View Open and the Duhawk Open.

Reader wins 3 to 2 with the riding time. Nice job out of him.

Cyler gets rolled 15 to 6. It did appear Cyler forced the action but as you can tell that idea didn't really work for him that match.
