2023 Big 10 Tournament Session 1

[Hawkeye4lifee]

Kennedys made some improvement since the last time these two met

 

[Rose bowl or bust]

Update on Kennedy? BTN has been stuck on the Fish vs. Amine match the whole time

 

[hawx]

PK let's goooo

 

[Inthecircle]

Logan Steibler worst 4 timer?

No such thing

 

[Muscles1989]

Kennedy pushes and gets bonus. Love that mentality

 

[bdcolt45er]

Dang Kennedy picked up major

 

[jmadden1998]

Update on Kennedy? BTN has been stuck on the Fish vs. Amine match the whole time

Wins 11-3. Takedown with less than 10 seconds and then got riding time point.

Update on Kennedy? BTN has been stuck on the Fish vs. Amine match the whole time

major at the buzzer

coaches are making him waste so much time on top. finished with over 3 min riding time.

let the big dog HUNT

 

[The-Dude-Abides]

We get to see PK and Amine next. Amine with a huge TD in SV over Fish. Great match.

 

[jmadden1998]

Brands up on mat 4 against Labriola. Labriola with a TD and a quick escape. 2-1

 

[SPOONER]

but what does "finish higher" mean. NQ? he doesn't look like he'll be competing for titles or AA anytime soon.

Definitely can’t AA from the slammer.

 

[Scruddy]

Logan Steibler worst 4 timer?

He never got pinned though?

 

[jmadden1998]

Assad and Warner back to back on mat 2

 

[Muscles1989]

Every time I turn around it seems Mn is getting a hand raised

 

[Jcchawk]

Is Brands going to make a legitimate shot?

 

[Muscles1989]

Is Brands going to make a legitimate shot?

Does he really ever?

 

[Rose bowl or bust]

Is Brands going to make a legitimate shot?

He's got 1:15 to do something...he's got himself in position to pull one out. Let's Go Nelson

 

[Rose bowl or bust]

Brands just quit...weak effort

 

[Muscles1989]

Nelson is not an offensive threat

 

[Jcchawk]

Give him credit. he did make one. 5-2 is no different than 3-2

 

[Chuck C]

Assad pinned

 

[cookercha]

sweet match Assad.

 

[Rose bowl or bust]

And Abe gets stuck...great

 

[STEEL125]

Don’t want to comment too much without knowing the injury, but Assad has not improved at all.

 

[denmar81]

GD Abe

 

[js8793]

Definitely can’t AA from the slammer.

you're missing the point. Aj's 1 ncaa tournament > Braxton's career

 

[cheaptilt42]

Brands just quit...weak effort

Assad and Brands just don't have "it". Both are always in matches but never take that next step.

 

[Rose bowl or bust]

Give him credit. he did make one. 5-2 is no different than 3-2

This is true...my problem is he laid on the mat hoping the ref would bail him out while Labriola kept wrestling for the final takedown

 

[Muscles1989]

Weak links of 74 and 84, no surprise they gotta wrestle on the backside.

 

[Jcchawk]

Tough matchup for Warner

 

[Hawkeye4lifee]

So tired of assad, need to start recruiting a 184

 

[A Fist Full of Hawkeyes]

you're missing the point. Aj's 1 ncaa tournament > Braxton's career

And you're clearly missing the point that Braxton is still helping his team win, whereas AJ can't and won't.
At this point every coach in the country would gladly have one on their team and not a single one is willing to roll the dice on the other.

Stupid debate.

 

[Muscles1989]

So tired of assad new to start recruiting a 184

He wins a match or two and ppls expectations go through the roof, and then he does that and ppl remember he pry won’t be on the podium

 

[Rose bowl or bust]

Assad and Brands just don't have "it". Both are always in matches but never take that next step.

This has been true for awhile for our upper weights. Guys are tough and will always be close, but just don't have "it." (We need to exclude Kem from this obviously). Warner continues to AA, but he never seems to dominate, he just wins the close matches that guys like Wilke, Brands, and Assad lose.

 

[Rose bowl or bust]

Warner going to try to win this one 2-0 with a ride out...no need to ever shoot

 

[js8793]

yeah and that also was never the debate in the first place. it was a hotly contested debate in high school who was better. the answer is clear.

 

[Chuck C]

Minnesota now in the team lead.

 

[Muscles1989]

Warner going to try to win this one 2-0 with a ride out...no need to ever shoot

It’s expected from him anymore

 

[A21408t]

Assad and Brands just don't have "it". Both are always in matches but never take that next step.

4 years in the room and it would be a stretch to say they have not regressed a bit. Showed more promise in 1st career matches than today after 4 years. Zero development

 

[A Fist Full of Hawkeyes]

yeah and that also was never the debate in the first place. it was a hotly contested debate in high school who was better. the answer is clear.

Yes it is clear. The guy that is actually on the mat is better.

If AJ ever sees the mat again then we can discuss. Until then, it's pointless.
