Well then tell our opponents to stop stalling their fat asses off and let us score......

They can do it for Penn State wrestlers, so they might as well be of more use by doing it for us as well.

That's not too much to ask.

I’ll take 18-2 for a first day. I feel better about both DeSanto and AM, both looked fresh and aggressive today.

Ky and Berge was likely always going to be a close match, I hate to lose that one but I like his path back to the stand.

Brands got outsized and couldn’t take down a bigger very good defensive wrestler. I expect a soiled effort on the back side from him as well. Big day tomorrow.

Soiled effort? How about solid?

very happy with 18-2 also.

 

[meatloaf55]

I like Young's backside matchups tomorrow. He will likely go (22) Barton, then (13) Willits, then (23) Wright, then probably (6) Lee of Minnesota. Obviously upsets happen (see Young) but this is a manageable slate back to the podium. I think he would still AA even if he loses to Lee. It's not over

 

[Lsanders20]

And for the record, Brands does not wrestle into Braunagel on the backside....he actually has a nice path to place.

yes he does, would meet him after the next match assuming they both win.

What’s the best link to see the matchups for tomorrow?

 

[meatloaf55]

Yep, if Brands beats (22) Kane, he would face the winner of (19) Braunagle and (20) Key of Navy. If Brands wins both of those, he would likely face (7) Brit Wilson of NIU

You should be able to look at all the weights through this link to track wrestling. They have the championship side and the consolation side


EDIT well it doesn't look like my link worked. but just go to Trackwrestling website and select "events" - then NCAA Championship - Then you can look at the brackets

Braunagel is out. He lost to the 30 seed according to Flo

There are 2 Braunagel’s. You are looking at 165. The other Braunagel is 184 like Nelson so if they both win they will meet.

There have been a few inconsistencies between Flo and Track. I think Flo has been wrong on a few, including this one. Wrestlestat also is showing Braunagle won that match

[Hawkeye1991]

Looks like some pretty tough match ups in the quarters tomorrow.

 

[CurtisLoew40]

To make the semis, beard now only has to go through the 31 and 26 seeds. Talk about the red sea parting.

Woodley had a horrible ranking. He’s a top 12 type of guy at that weight.

Good call. Brands has a pretty good path either way.

Brackets | Team Standings

ST. LOUIS – Eight University of Iowa wrestlers advanced to the quarterfinals of the 2021 NCAA Wrestling Championships following second-round wins Thursday night at the Enterprise Center.

The Hawkeyes scored bonus points in 12 of 18 wins, putting together an 18-2 record on the opening day. Iowa recorded six major decisions, five technical falls and one pin. The Hawkeyes’ four top-seeds – Spencer Lee, Jaydin Eierman, Alex Marinelli and Michael Kemerer – outscored their opponents by nearly 100 points, 127-30.

“Bonus points are crucial. They’re an indication of your team and philosophy and you can see the communication getting through to our guys,” said Iowa head coach Tom Brands. “Our guys have horsepower and it is starting to come out.”

Iowa scored bonus points in five bouts in Session II and leads the team race with 33.5 points.

Austin DeSanto registered a first-period fall in one minute, 33 seconds, to finish his day with an opening round technical fall and a second round pin at 133.

Lee scored a takedown and pair of four-point tilts on his way to a 15-5 major decision at 125. He outscored his opponents, 32-6, Thursday and has outscored his opponents, 149-19, in 12 career matches at the NCAA Championships.

Marinelli used a six-point move in the first to build an 8-1 lead, added a reversal in the third and more than two minutes of riding time to move on to the quarterfinals with a 13-2 major decision at 165.

Kemerer added a second technical fall victory to his day, terminating his 174-pound bout in 5:06 with a 17-1 lead. Cassioppi closed Thursday’s second session with the Hawkeyes’ 12th bonus-point win, this one an 11-0 major decision at 285. He outscored two opponents Thursday, 20-1.

Iowa also got second-round decisions from Jaydin Eierman, Max Murin and Jacob Warner. Eierman advanced to the quarters with 5-3 decision at 141. He scored a takedown in the first and added a pair of escapes and 2:11 of riding time. Murin advanced to the quarterfinals for the second time in as many NCAA tournament appearances, avenging a Big Ten tournament loss to Nebraska’s Ridge Lovett with a 5-3 decision. He scored the decisive takedown with 24 seconds left in the third period. Warner advanced to the quarterfinals with a 3-0 win at 197.

Kaleb Young and Nelson Brands dropped decisions at 157 and 184 pounds, respectively. Both wrestlers return to the mat Friday morning in the wrestlebacks.

“We have to get ready for Day 2,” said Tom Brands. “We have eight on the front and two on the backside and we have to be ready to go. There is a lot of wrestling left. Let’s score points early and often.”

The NCAA Championships resume Thursday with quarterfinal and consolation rounds. Session 3 begins at 10 a.m. (CT) with weight classes 125-157. Session 4 begins at 2 p.m. with weight classes 165-285. ESPNU and ESPN3 are providing television and online coverage of Sessions 3 and 4.

I know it sucks but KY and Nelson have to be taking the big one for the team. One cutting weight like crazy the other bulking up and easily wrestling up a weight (some say 2). It sucks but no one is more disappointed then those two. KY will always be a fav of mine as he was the first PA guy to commit. Maybe not the most exciting but hell of a sacrifice he is making.

Young "sacrifices" like many have or he doesn't wrestle. Seems like an easy decision. Kaleb has more ability than getting 2 escapes against a guy like Berge. As soon as he got taken down early I said this is tailor made for Kaleb to make one shot late in the match and hope it works. This was a bad loss in every possible way.

Bolen is a lot better than Nelson, and that was easily proven, it is what it is.

My friend, the Penn State Wrestling Club does as good if not better job than other sites in updating brackets (wins and losses, not points scored), team scores and individual scores. Whoever runs their site is on it!

BTW, great historical scores/outcomes as well!

Looks like some pretty tough match ups in the quarters tomorrow.

QF matchups are usually pretty tough.

 

[wasdt21]

Why don’t we just pull out.

You forgot to log out of your alt handle Nittany Lion fan

i'm here everyday all year long of course you wouldn't know that.see you next year part timers

 

[chuck285]

Good call. Brands has a pretty good path either way.

What he really needs is for a coach to teach him how to ride!!! Three take downs and a total of 15 seconds riding time. BS

 

[js8793]

Yep, if Brands beats (22) Kane, he would face the winner of (19) Braunagle and (20) Key of Navy. If Brands wins both of those, he would likely face (7) Brit Wilson of NIU

Forget Braunagel for now. Kane is no joke. Lost 5-4 to Hidlay at ACC's.

 

[Lsanders20]

Eierman winning 5-3 was disappointing. He needs to recognize that bonus is needed to win this thing and against a guy like that he should be dominating. In his defense the kid clammed up and did nothing but defend the whole match.

He was looking for turns and his cradle, just couldn’t quite get it locked up. He definitely had bonus points on his mind. But I agree, should have spent more time on his feet getting takedowns too

 

[retiredhawk46]

Hes struggling but officials should have called him for stalling 3rd period and he ate his whistle.

His shoulder conveniently hurts worse every time he is close to a stall call.

 

[fufighters]

His shoulder conveniently hurts worse every time he is close to a stall call.

He seamed to be in alot of pain and was taking his time to get back. At end of match he was holding his shoulder in alot of pain..dont expect him to advance to championships if his opponents see it and go after it. Sucks but he probably shouldn't have been in tourney. Needs to heal to fight another day..I an sympathetic same Injury cost my college career.
