solid showing this morning but some huge matches loom tonight. teske’s loss hurts a lot because he had byrd running on empty and didn’t capitalize. hope teske and cobe can rack up some bonus points on the backside and we win the close ones tonight. go hawks
IMO, Warner looked very good. Caffey looked like he lost before he walked out there. Tonight is the key match for JW.
Overall thoughts from round 1:
It's bittersweet that this tournament is the last time we'll ever see Spencer in the black & gold. Savor it, fellas...
Teske has skill but strikes me as one of those guys who always seems to find a way to lose. That said, his path on the backside to AA isn't the worst.
Any points Siebrecht gave us at this tournament would be gravy. Those of you who were expecting him to make some noise were seriously overestimating him.
Good win for Brands, but if he waits around and tries to win every match in the last 20 seconds he's gonna have a rough tournament.
I liked the Warner we saw in round 1. I hope that version sticks around. If he gets past Elam, he has a pretty decent road to the finals.
Non-Iowa related, how impressive is this young NC State team?! They had an awesome first round, and that team is mostly freshman and sophomores. They're going to be a force next year.

Unfortunately I think caffey may still be hurt, but still a good match for Warner regardless
UNI with a heck of a start. The only team with more than one wrestler to get all through the first round.
Ugh. Another match watching Medley lay face down spread eagle for 7 minutes.
No way that happens. That's a tight knit group. And Pat only recruits a kid willing to live the lifestyle (zero tolerance drinking and drugs - in or out of season)
No way. Spencer is going to cut him 8 times.
So much fail in this post...
SVN is a blue chip recruit who got down early and battled back, think Borschel in the national semis.
Cobe is a zero * recruit who battled his way through the season as an undersized 157, earning some top 10 skins along the way until he hurt his shoulder. Obviously it impacted him at BTT and today.
Injuries are part of the game, no excuses, but let's not throw out the coaching card on this one.
FWIW, take a look at the guys wearing the shoulder armor today... their W/L record wasn't very good.
1) 16.0 -- Penn State
2) 12.5 -- NC State
3) 12.0 -- Iowa
4) 10.0 -- UNI
4) 10.0 -- Ohio State
6) 9.0 -- Minnesota
6) 9.0 -- Missouri
6) 9.0 -- Wisconsin
9) 8.5 --- Wisconsin
Trackwrestling has live scoring (not the easiest to access) or the Penn State Wrestling Club site.
The hell it wasn't!
All 10 of our guys are on the mat this weekend.
Other wrestlers had to drop out, some are barely able to get through a first round match. It's a brutal sport and guys are beat to hell every year.
Heck overall this is about as healthy as we've been since the 2020 team that was going to run away with the title.
mats 1,2,7,8 are backside matches
3,4,5,6 are R2 matches
then when R2 is done, all 8 finish up the consolations
Left some points on the mat, but good enough for round 1.
Let's go round 2!
Let's go round 2!

They go simultaneously. Consi’s on mats 1-2, 7-8 and round of 16 on mats 3-6
Not bad, unless you want to advance guys and score bonus points.
you can complain about bonus, but no team advanced more guys.
I have been impressed with what Pat Pop has built there. They get after it.
Trackwrestling is always good. Very good minute-by-minute information. ICON upper left will navigate (brackets) by weight class. Three dots upper right will navigate the entire tournament. This information redundant for many, useful for some. Link below.

I’ve said this many times before. People bitch and moan about bonus, but if we had guys 3-2ing their way to titles nobody would complain
illinois has already out-kicked their coverage in this tournament. Projected 7 points without bonus by their 5 wrestlers.
Va Tech is underperforming with 6 points, projected 51.5 without bonus for their 10 wrestlers
do you get stuck on roundabouts as well?
That is true. I would not complain about any wrestler who squeaked through to a title.
Haha I swear it kept booting me out for some reason. That said, I did get stuck in a roundabout in Ireland once. In my defense it was three lanes wide and my first time driving on the left. Made it out after 7 or 8 laps.
