Generally speaking a good outing for Bucky, but hoping that more of the middle-of-the-pack guys are able to turn the corner and pick up a couple of wins for themselves; the season is long if you can't pick up a couple of those close ones.
Great weekend for the Badgers.
With 125 so wacky right now, why not Barnett? His style is a problem for a lot of guys at the weight. I wish I could be at NCAAs this year.
Joe Zargo is one of my favorite guys to watch. His pace makes me gas out watching on my couch.
The Oklahoma coach was trying to get their 165 to slow the pace and stay in control vs Hamiti. It's like asking a person to control a tornado. When Hamiti's hands and feet are in motion, it's impossible to tell where an attack is coming from.
Seth Liegel has surpassed all expectations, at least for me. I had no idea he'd transition this well. I know hard times are coming, but no matter what, he's been impressive.
I wish Stephen Buchanan would've come home. Seeing him in an Oklahoma singlet was not it.
Rivera had a great weekend and a key factor in both UW wins. Hopefully he keeps it up the Badgers are going to need him just to get a few B1G wins. Badgers enter league action 6-1 overall.
I wonder how aggressively Bono and Reader recruited Stephen Buchanan.

Probably not much but to be fair everyone missed on Stephen. If anyone could have known how good he was going to be he could have gone anywhere. If I remember correctly when he committed to Wyoming he said they offered him the most scholarship.
