Jimmy Cinnabon

Much like Lee, his game is heavily dependent on brute strength and physicality. This style leads to a lot of injuries, hence...what you are saying now.

Apparently he isn't even in the city anymore, much less the arena to support his teammates. What gives? Is he having emergency surgery? As the undisputed leader of the Hawkeye team I think his teammates would have appreciated his moral support and presence as they fight out the medal rounds. And what about his best friend and mentee, Real Woods, who has a tough final tonight? Just find it odd that a leader of men would vanish unless there is a legit medical reason he had to leave Tulsa.

As a vocal SVN critic, I have to give him his due. 12 seed finishes 3rd in his first NCAA tournament. Well done, young man, well done!

Excuses are for…GOATs???

Terrry Brands

He’s what, 28 now?

4x plays a huge role in Hodge voting I know it's not supposed to, but it does.

Yes only other option is to start at 174 and end at 165 for a battle of 2 champs

Yianni

I said this many times before, but part of me is sad that Lee sacrificed his body for the Hawkeyes in a quest to win 4 NCAA championships. I can't see him winning Olympic gold now with his knees wrecked already.

No. He definitely is. I challenge you to list 10 you'd put in front of him.

What's your list? 1. Cael 2. Dake 3. Lee 4. Uetake 5. Stieber ???

He should give credit to someone other than himself too.

Does this put Spencer behind Logan Stieber in the pantheon of college greats? I think it has to since 4 > 3 even if Lee won is 3 in more dominant fashion.

Unfortunately, this award is more a career achievement award, so Yianni gets it if he wins. Spencer losing made this possible.

Ed Ruth's dad always held his camcorder perfectly still...barely showed any emotion for his son's 3 titles

Reminds me of Andrew Alton, although Andonian has had more success

how insane is that given that #1 seed was GOAT Spencer Lee?! Blows my mind. All other 9 weights had the 1 seed make the finals.

Yes, that's why I picked him over RBY, even though I'm a Penn Stater.

So Iowa still has a chance?

He has been the most dominant however I think Yianni gets it for his 4th title.

Awesome night of wrestling, friends. Here are my final picks for tomorrow: 125 Glory DEC Ramos 133 Vito DEC RBY (RBY barely won while Vito smashed Fix) 141 Woods DEC Alirez (only final with 2 unbeatens. Woods is just too slick) 149 Sasso DEC Yianni 157 AOC DEC Haines (amazing first NCAA for Haines but AOC too good) 165 Carr DEC KOT 174 Starocci DEC Labs 184 Brooks DEC Keck 197 Nino DEC Sloan HWT Parris MAJ Kerk (Parris is just a beast and I think he takes OW. Parris has a huge tank and Kerk doesn't) Penn State takes 1st by 30 points over 2nd place Iowa.

Why interview these guys .2 seconds after they come off the mat? Kerk can hardly speak.

Kerk is super winded. Parris is gonna whip him tomorrow.
