Flo's take on seeding oddities at 165


Here's a rant by Flo about how odd some of the seedings were, to the point that, when you look at the #1 seed's matchups at 165, it looks like Marinelli (maybe a surprise #1) actually got a really tough draw from beginning to end ... with a Mekhi mention. Some truth to it: imagine getting the #1 seed and you have to face a two-tine AA in the first round.

"Beyond that, the pure absurdity of Marinelli's draw, it's lunacy. Two-time AA Joe Smith got drawn into the pigtail that sees him facing Marinelli in the Round of 32, then he gets Jon Viruet in the Round of 16, who took Marinelli to overtime at Midlands. Then, he gets Mekhi Lewis in the quarters, who beat Marinelli (controversially) at Junior World Team Trials. He follows that with Wick in the semis, and we've talked plenty about how those two match up. It's not necessarily wrong, but man, it sure seems like the most unlucky draw I've ever seen for a one seed."
