If you're about to give up a reverse and back points but manage to hold on long enough to get a swipe or two in the process, it isn't exactly a testament to your abilities or dig on the other guys.

Kennedy vs Hamiti could be fun

Only because Hamiti seems to have regressed a bit.  I think it's stylistically very difficult for Kennedy, but would love to be wrong.

Hamiti placed 6th last season and is currently ranked 6th.  Regression?

Craig Henning got screwed in the 2007 NCAA Finals.

Yes. Stagnated might be a better term, if it makes you feel better. Just my opinion.

I’d like to know how Hamiti didn’t get back points when he had Kennedy in a spladle, a la Nickal vs Brooks, with ~30s left in the 3rd.

Lee is a total and complete first period wrestler. 

If you get him to the 2nd or 3rd period and can ride, you have an outside chance.

He spends all his money in the first period

This is true, but next Friday night against Steen it won't make much of a difference. I don't see it going to the 3rd period, and Spencer Lee will have enough gas in the tank (money in his wallet) to get the tech or pin in the 1st or 2nd period.

I feel like Woods shut it down instead of going for the bonus point. Hard to complain about a win, but I want to see first period Woods in the third period too.

Woods comes out really strong in the 1st period, and he DOES burn up too much energy quickly. Now that doesn't matter when you can rack up 7 or 8 points early and put things out of reach, but that's not always going to be the case. Next Friday against Bartlett, this could be the weakness that Cael will capitalize on. Bartlett is a smart wrestler, and he seems to wrestle all three periods. He has a gas tank. I'm interested in seeing how the third period plays out between Bartlett and Woods. I won't be surprised at all to see a gassed Woods give up points and even the match in the third.

Lee's mistake here was that he forgot to announce his intention to go for a reversal, thus invoking the "top danger rule."
