Good early rounds for NU. Thomas so close to upsetting #1, losing in Sudden Victory. Now showing his full potential.
B1G Wrestling tourney— Day 1
- Thread starter NorthNJCatsfan
- Start date
Deakin and Rivera win their semi matches. Oster, Davison and DeAugustino lose their semi matches.
the riviera - gross semi was incredible.
Deakin is a machine right now.
Great job by cats. Hope placing matches go well!
Except yahya couldn't finish in the Top 10 of his weight class.
We started strong, but honestly only getting 5 to the NCAA is really disappointing.
On the other hand - two national title contenders and maybe even a 3rd AA next week if the bracket works out would be awesome!
From a scoring perspective it was great.
From a qualifying perspective for NCAAs, it was disappointing as I thought 141 and 149 had great chances to get spots and failed to do so.
I think Thomas will get a wildcard! He lost to the number one ranked kid in double overtime. I'm quite sure he is in as he won three matches and beat the tough PSU kid too! Yayha can AA this year,along with Davison!
NU had no chance at 141. At 149, Thomas should get an invite on the basis of his semi with Sasso.
At 141 there were 8 AQs and McKenna was seeded 10th and faced a guy he had beaten already once this year to qualify. I certainly wouldn't say "no shot" but I agree he would have been the 7th most likely in our lineup. I'd have called it a mild upset, not a major one.
