I hate that for him in his Senior year... I knew that would be a tough match and was hoping he'd come back for 3rd, sucks seeing that happen
sucks for him and sucks for the team. We're now missing points from Araujo and Allred.

***Edit, I didn't realize we were already sitting in 2nd... Gonna need full work from the team to maintain it

Minto only -125. Doesn't this seem light?

AJ +250
Lamer +600
Trelly -210
Brock +165

And then what do you guys think of mcenelly vs Angelo? -110 both sides, I was thinking Max would be the favorite there.

I think we go 3-2 at best in the semis. 50/50 on Ferrari. If I had to put money, I’d say 2-3 (Minto and Taylor). I don’t see Brock beating Vega, I don’t see Lamer beating Van Ness. I’m torn on AJ beating Bastida.

The amazing fact: ANYTHING happens at the NCAA tournament.

If I was betting, I’d put money on McEnelly over Ferrari, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see Angelo win that either.
