Anybody know what happened to Nick Clark, I believe he is in UNC Greensboro last time i checked. I figured he would have at least qualified for it.

I dont think Gregor will lose if he gets to the finals. If he loses it will be in the Semis. Gregor doesent lose to the same kid twice. And if u saw that match He should of won but he got passive at the end. and when he got taken down in the first he had a lazy shot.

The thing about him that I notice is that he turns it up a notch in important matches. Yes, all matches are. But if he makes it to the finals he will not lose. That being said, repeating in this tournament is not easy.
