Pretty impressive for Okie State with 7 in the quarters, although they're going to take a beating in the morning.

 

[goiahawkeyes]

- Okie St has their work cut out for them this morning. I see them sending 4 to the backside and 3 on to the semis.

141: Heil vs Ward - Ward was Heil's only loss on the season, so far
149: Collica vs Mayes - Mayes can be dangerous transitioning out of a double leg
157: Smith vs Nolf - was a good one early in the season, but Nolf has gotten stronger as the season went on
165: Dieringer vs Weatherman - probably bonus for Okie St here
174: Rogers vs Nickal - PSU likely wins, but Nickal has looked tight. Could be interesting
184: Boyd vs Dean - great match here, looking forward to it
Hwt: Marsden vs Coon - another great match here

- Ohio St sends all 5 to the semis, pretty favorable match ups
- PSU sends 5 to the semis, Conaway falls to backside
- Iowa sends 4 to the semis

Iowa has 3 matches with Nebraska today, here's our chance to to propel ourselves in front of them

I see Okie State sending 2 to the semis -- maybe 3. We shall see.

I think Okie States hopes to challenge PSU died with not getting points from Klimara. Likewise for tOSU with Courts.

Ours died with the late season Stoll injury.

 

[goiahawkeyes]

It might stay close this morning, but PSU will pull away from everyone tonight as Nico, Zain and Bo have the 3 easiest paths to the finals of the entire field.

Dance losing, clears out the bottom side of 125.
Zain will bonus his way to finals
Bo will have #12 Jackson in semis, who he did lose to, but he's not losing tonight.

 

[PSU Mike]

Bo will have #12 Jackson in semis, who he did lose to, but he's not losing tonight.

We'll see. He needs to beat Rogers, who might the only guy that can score with him, Jackson who beat him, and Martin who kept in close twice and is wrestling better than he had all year.

 

[PSU Mike]

I really wanted to see Brooks/Brown, but it wasn't meant to be. Burak/Hartmann has a chance to be a real dogfight.

 

[Lion8286]

Martin who kept in close twice and is wrestling better than he had all year.

If you consider getting pinned as "kept it close" then yes Martin kept it close.

 

[Hicksy87]

I would not count on Bonus for Dieringer over Weatherman. Dieringer won I believe 4-2 in B12 Championship match and Weatherman has been wrestling well so far.

 

[HawkeyeDenny]

I think Okie States hopes to challenge PSU died with not getting points from Klimara. Likewise for tOSU with Courts.

Ours died with the late season Stoll injury.

Ours died when Cael went to PSU and we are still wrestling
like we did 30 years ago...

The difference between us and PSU has been beaten to death, we get the wins to match their wins but they get wins with bonus points.
