Why did both the coach abc wrestler have a point deducted?
Suriano wrestled pissed right from the start. Got an easy TD and then held on. Austin wore him down still but just didn't have enough. Suriano jawed a lot at the end (which is fair considering what Austin did in Carver). They had to be separated for a minute at the end and then they shook hands and seemed to have some good words for each other.
Suriano was obviously looking forward to this match, but I like Austin's chances in round 3
Iowa wasn’t deducted a point, right?
Barring an upset somewhere... it's a good bet that you have 1. Micic 2. Fix 3. Suriano 4.ADS. The rematch could be for third place . Micic is too strong and long, imo.Suriano got a takedown in the first and built up some riding time. Then spent the rest of the match dancing around and more or less baiting AD into a fight. I like AD in the rubber match, but he'll probably need to go through Micic first at nationals to make it happen.
I am a Rutgers fan so of course I disagree with you on the rubber match but that’s a pretty good breakdown of what I saw.
I am not 100% sure, but I think Nick was over aggressive at the end... once they got to the line to shake hands, they seemed to agree about what happened during the match. If they are okay with it (and it looked like they both were), I don’t see a huge problem going forward.

You know what? Fair.
The Iowa fan in me wants to hate this interview, but he earned it tonight, and wasn't out of line or disrespectful in what he said
Micic forfeiting gave Fix the #1 seed. If Suriano wins against Pletcher he is #2 seed. If AD gets 3rd he is the 3. Micic is #4 . Just my opinion.Barring an upset somewhere... it's a good bet that you have 1. Micic 2. Fix 3. Suriano 4.ADS. The rematch could be for third place . Micic is too strong and long, imo.
Sometimes you eat the bear, sometimes he eats you
Unless you have a legitimate injury that caused the mff (like Suriano in 2017) and will prevent the wrestler from going 90+%, the punishment seems to be on the other wrestlers having to face the best guy earlier than anticipated. See Nolf as an example. It goes both ways.Micic forfeiting gave Fix the #1 seed. If Suriano wins against Pletcher he is #2 seed. If AD gets 3rd he is the 3. Micic is #4 . Just my opinion.
If Pletcher wins? Lord only knows. Especially if Philippi of PITT wins out
Punishment was pretty harsh last year for taking a pass
It looked to me like Suriano was pointing pretty hard at Brands and calling him out. Not sure what he said, but it made the hair on the back my head stand up
Suriano is one tough cookie, no doubt about it, but so is Austin. This match is a toss-up if it happens again.AD and his head gear was a blessing for Suriano, I believe the outcome would have been different.
AD loss is a motivator for nationals. Plus love the thought he will be fired up beings he will be the underdog with Fix, Suriano and Micic. We just have to hope there is no break in the action to give him a better chance of winning.
This hits everyone but Micic hard IMO. He's good enough to overcome any seed if he's reasonably healthy.Assuming matches finish to chalk, I think realistic seeding tab NCAA is
1. Fix
2. Suriano
3. Phillippi
4. Micic
5. DeSanto
I think Micic will get hit hard by the MFF.
There was talk going that he was going to MFF out of that match well before it happened when people were assuming it would be vs RBY. Sounds like something legit may be going on

I think Suriano has The second best gas tank in wrestling.... to Austin.
