This years tourney has been chalked full off upsets.  Yianni from Cornell has been my favorite to watch so far.  He is a future 4x champ.  I will say the same for Lee.  They are a blast to watch.

Blood Round

141--Red (NU) with a HUGE pin in the 1st period to knock off 2x National Champ Heil (Okie State).  Chad Red is an AA!  Not too shabby for an unseeded guy.

 
184--Venz just put a beating on Renda (NCST) and wins 11-3 to lock up AA and avenge a loss from earlier in the year!  Venz had an unbelievable 6:40 of riding time.  To give you an idea of how dominant that is...matches are 7:00 in length.

Nebraska goes 3 for 4 in the blood round to lock up 3 AAs.  They'll pick up action tomorrow morning.

Yeah Lee was really impressive in how he just worked NATO.  Yanni is going to have a slugfest against Meredith tomorrow.  I can't help but root for Meredith.  Should be some really good finals matches.

 
Whoops, I misspoke.  Red and Berger both wrestled one more match.

Red lost 2-1 in SV-1 against Jack (NCST) and will wrestle for 7th/8th

Berger wins 6-0 over Zilverberg (SDSU) and will wrestle in the consi-semis tomorrow.

 
Medal Rounds

157--Berger gets a super weird TD in OT to win 4-2 in SV over Jordan (tOSU)!  Berger will wrestle Kemerer (Iowa) for 3th/4th.  First meeting between these two this year although I remember Kemerer winning a very tight match over Berger last year so a bit of a shot at redemption today.

184--Venz continues to wrestle like a grown a$$ man and wins 7-3 over Zavatasky (VT)!  Venz will wrestle Parker (Illinois) for 3th/4th.  This will be the rubber match between these two and should be pretty entertaining.

141--Red will wrestle Perry (EMU) for 7th/8th.  Hat tip to both guys for getting on the podium as unseeded wrestlers in an absolutely stacked weight class.
