DCand3 Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Saw he had to forfeit some matches due to injury at the EIWA Championships. Anyone know any injury details? It would be a shame to see him miss the NCAA's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newbomb Turk Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Looks like he wrestled in the 5th place match losing 3-2 placing 6th. They qualify 6 at that weight so he is in . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HCCOACH Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Paul won both of his matches on Saturday, to get into the semifinals. That placed him at no less then 6th and qualified him or ncaa. He did not wrestle any matches on Sunday. Resting a nagging injury. Being healthy for the next step is whats important. He will be ready to go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will be ready to go How does a 6th place finish potentially affect his seeding in the NCAA's? Does the fact that he injury defaulted give him any reprieve and hurt him less than if he had lost outright? I was wondering these kinds of things while watching the Big Ten meet this weekend. For example, how will seeding work for Adam Coon of Michigan who came in seeded #1 and finished 9th in the BTT? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lpd096 Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 The Power Index will save wrestlers like Adam Coon. He'll get a Wildcard spot and justifiably so...but I, like you, do not know about how/where he will be seeded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maligned Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Actually, the B10 had 9 auto bids at 285, so Coon qualified automatically despite being 9th. But you're right, we'll see about his seed. I would surmise he'll still be a top 5 seed since the big 10 has 7 of the top 8 ranked guys in the country and he has so many quality wins.
