Nice lead but nobody in the lower brackets is troubling. Puts a ton of pressure on the 5 that are left. I said from the get-go we needed to have guys fight back in the consolations and that really did not happen. However, I in no way expected this many bonus points and for Courts to get to semi's. To be point blank, we will not win all 5 of our matches in semi's. I think winning 3 of 5 and Logan getting bonus would be a huge win...need to at least split with Mizzou on Toms/Snyder matches. But whoever drops into consolations needs to win at least one more match imo. To preview tonight's matches (8 pm EST on ESPNU):

197: #1 J'Den Cox (Mizzou) vs. #4 Kyle Snyder: The match I think most fans have been waiting for since Snyder inked with OSU but of course we wish it would have been tomorrow night. The two split matches in freestyle during their high school days and it is anyone's guess what will happen here. I have watched all of Kyle's matches and he just has an explosiveness I have not seen all year...not necessarily getting in on shots, but finishing quickly and explosively to the mat so there is no scramble. I think he could have smoked Schiller but he wanted to wrestle smart and advance. I have no idea what happens here but a win would be clutch...we need one out of Tomasello and Snyder with Mizzou being close in the team race.

Kyle needs to get his offense going. I like what I have seen thus far in his NCAA approach. Cox often chooses to lay back most of the 1st and 2nd but he can score whenever he wants because he is a great athlete. I don't see Kyle riding Cox out - no one has all year. Nor do I think Cox will ride Kyle out. Kyle getting that first takedown will be key. If he can get that give up the escape and then get another point from bottom and just make Cox work in the 3rd he will win.
