What a frenetic match...much like all of his matchesWitcraft loses and will wrestle for 7th
Witcraft loses and will wrestle for 7th
Good thing for him is that the Big 12 got 8 allocations at 133. That was a crazy match.
Scoring after the first day:My understanding of how the allocation system works is that every wrestler who received an automatic bid (an "allocation") is going to NCAAs regardless of whether or not he wrestles to seed.
Allocations are earned by individual wrestlers for the conference. For instance, the Big 12 gets 8 allocations at 133. The top 8 wrestlers at 133 get the automatic bids to the NCAA tournament. A wrestler who "earned" one of those 8 allocations, but did not place in the top 8 does not get an automatic bid, but must depend on getting a wild card bid. This happens quite often and the NCAA saves a few wild card bids at each weight to cover this situation. In Witcraft's case, he gets one of the allocated bids because he will finish no lower than 8th. Had he finished in 9th, he would have to depend on getting a wild card bid, which may or may not have happened.My understanding of how the allocation system works is that every wrestler who received an automatic bid (an "allocation") is going to NCAAs regardless of whether or not he wrestles to seed.
If Witcraft wins tomorrow does he get advancement points?

Thanks for that info. That whole 133 pound bracket is too much for me to get my head around. I’m glad I didn’t have to try to seed it.Ehhh, maybe. A "true 8th" match is on the docket. If he loses the 7th-place match, Witcraft would get 8th by rule only if LaMont beats Small. Otherwise, Witcraft would wrestle Small for true 8th.
Maybe. Gotta wrestler better than that. Create more action and finish shots.
I’m not us up on the newer allocation stuff. Do Witcraft and Joe have any shot at NCAAs if they finish outside of the allocation or is this doe or die for them? I assume everyone else (besides Harris is in).

I think both would be strong cadadites for a wild care. I think Joe is safe via allocation. Reece could potentially fall just outside (not likely).
Could be wrong but I thought 174 had 5 spots. Joe could still finish outside of 5.
What I remember with consolations Witcraft took 7th with a tech fall, Hone won a close decision and so wrestles for 3rd, Joe won a decision and so wrestles for 3rd, Montalvo won and wrestles for 3rd, Geer won and so wrestles for 3rd.Not time to celebrate yet but barring a disaster day by us or a perfect day from ISU we are in good shape.
Also Joe was ahead 9 to 0 when they stopped the match. Montalvo won a close decision for 3rd and Geer won by tech. for 3rd.Hone wins by 6-4 dec to get 3rd. Joe wins by injury default and also gets 3rd.
Great consolation round for us! Do we get points for the placement matches?Also Joe was ahead 9 to 0 when they stopped the match. Montalvo won a close decision for 3rd and Geer won by tech. for 3rd.
1, OK State 135.5Looks like the finals are on fox sports midwest. Which is fairly national now unlike fox sports ok. They must have heard our outrage.
Mine shows FoxS MIDWEST @3am Monday morning, nothing live. Really stupid to have whole tournament on something we can get live & mobile and then put the finals on tape delay 3am.Looks like the finals are on fox sports midwest.

I've got nothing, not on Fox Sports1, FS2, Fox, or Fox Midwest. Only shows on at 3am F Mdw, even FoxSportsGo only shows the 3am option. Guess I'll get off the internet & watch DVR in morning.I’m watching the Finals on Fox Sports right now. It is on several regional Fox Sports channels
That would be huge. But I’ll bet him and glory just switch places. But I hope I’m wrong.Mueller from UVA gets beat in ACC finals, so hopefully that gets Picc to the bottom of the bracket.
