BIG10 FINALS 2025

What are the current standings? I’m assuming Iowa is not in second and I’m beginning to worry we’re not in third either. That school that the Raney’s squared wouldn’t dare go to over Iowa that’s located to the east of us seems to be kicking our ****ing ass all over the place this weekend. This has not been a great showing for Iowa.

Byrd isn't an unknown-commodity though. Nothing about their first match, or their careers, tells us that Drake was a heavy favorite. The ony thing shocking was the pin, but the result itself was not surprising imo.

I agree with that. I think in general stylistically this match up is in Drake's favor, but I get now is not the time to have this conversation, and would not have been surprised by a Byrd win before the match.
 
Drake made a mistake and paid for it. Better now than in two weeks. I'm not concerned with Drake at NCAAs. The Hawks have to start game planning better for tough matches. Worrying about ourselves is why they lose rematches. Everyone else scouts us and takes away our strengths. We wrestle the same match over and over.

Couldn’t agree with this statement more

He has to wrestle smart and clean. I still think he is the better, more technical wrestler. But, theone thing that has scared me from the beginning of Ayala moving up to 133 is physical, “strength” positions. He just doesn’t have the firepower to fight out of those type of positions. Not that it is “easy” for anyone, but plenty of guys are “strong” enough to wing down and square up in that position…

That takedown was early, but reversing it completely screws Bartlett. Refs consistently failing the test this weekend.
I agree. How many times do they call a takedown and the guy charges what he is doing and then they take the take down away/ If the takedown ws not given the guy would have kept working in most cases and then would get the takedown. They have to do something with this video review crap.
Give a team 1 brick a tournament. We have 2 officials out there and if it is egregious enough to go to a review, then it will get reversed. If it is close, then a third party who was not watching the action should not be trying to figure it out from film. That will stop all this brick throwing crap.
 
yes it did. 3rd place between Iowa and Minny may come down to Heavy

I came into this year thinking the match up was impossible for Parco vs. Van Ness. Then in that first match, even though there was distance I could squint and see the path...I was right the first time. Just a brutal match up.

Parco is not even close to Van Ness. Him and Ridge dominate him on top (Van Ness in nuetral too). Parco can beat anyone else at 149, just don't see him beating those two again.
