Thanks. I thought I quickly counted 10 in last year's NCAA thread, but I did miss that 165 was missing from the list and didn't remember off the top of my head. I just remembered being excited about sending so many guys to the tourney.

I know on paper, our team doesn't look as strong this season, but I feel better about this year's team for some reason. I think it's because all of our guys have been very consistently fighting for 7 min. every match.
I know some of the guys dropped off a bit towards the end of the dual season (Johnson, Bastida a bit, Swiderski post-injury, etc.,) but I'm hoping the recoup time will do them all well, and they all come out guns-blazing, much like the start of the season.

I am guessing that John Smith should be just about done with his 2 hour lunch/planning session for how to get the most bonus points out of the pigtail matches. The "random" drawing can now begin.

I only hate broderson’s draw. The rest are what they are, but he’s not sitting good
Broderson just needs to knock Mocco to the back side right away!
He did get the last takedown in Columbia. Our team largely has superior endurance. If Broderson and Kraisser can get through the first periods scoreless, I think they stand a much better chance in most matches.
Broderson was into something when he went to that standing front head lock later in the match. Mocco wasn’t comfortable there. He really needs to game plan this match out. If he can get him to deep waters without a terrible first period he’s got a good chance for the upset.
I don't mind swiderski draw or cabanban draw
Broderson is (obviously) tough

Things I love: Cabanban and Swiderski draws, Redding getting a bye
Things I hate: all the other byes and Redding's draw. I guess at least Yonger has a match?
