IA vs Minnesota PBP

[HawkTalk3]

I will be doing a PBP live inside Carver tonight for those who can't watch BTN. I will be running a contest once again during the dual giving away a free from our sponsor, Casey's General Store. At the very least click the link for a chance to win a free large pizza at the very least.

Wow Brody looks slight

 

[mstp1992]

Wow Brody looks slight

He does. Looks like not a lot of development in his legs especially.

 

[FineMaterial]

JRob looking old. Time for Minny to start looking around.

 

[rbh74]

Looks like a great crowd.

 

[dhm47]

No fire power from BS yet. 3rd.

 

[diggerpup]

Grothus is 6'6" or whatever, being forced to cut to 141 and you guys expect muscle development ?

That's funny.

 

[mike tognetti]

what happened at 141?

 

[dhm47]

what happened at 141?

Thorn 6-4

 

[mike tognetti]

[BDinIC]

Why can't the BTN have riding time on the screen. Sheesh.

 

[hawk_fan26]

Navy Seal?

 

[NYWRESTLER94]

Night in with the old man for the dual his second time seeing Cooper and he's still not a fan even though I tried to explain the growth since the beginning of the season. Quick question are you guys pulling the plug on paddock this season?

IMO Rhodes go s harder

 

[FineMaterial]

Minnesota brought their JV tonight. Awful.

 

[Ryno95]

BTN = no pep band. Bummer.

 

[PapaBearSLIM]

Can Brands send a care package our way?
Sammy went all OPRF that match. Sag throws, inside trips and cross wrist tilts.

 

[NYWRESTLER94]

That takedown was close

 

[255]

That was 2.

 

[CFNiteHawk85]

2. Garbage call.

 

[Omahahawk86]

That was 2! Sissy ref didn't want to say he was wrong

 

[Sweet Name]

That was 2.

Hands down. You can't see the clock but you CAN see it is clearly BEFORE the towel guy hit the ref.

 

[LineDriveHawk]

Burak probably needs to decide to wrestle more than the last 20 seconds. He does and he wins.

OPRF gave him the intro course. Came to IOWA and got his Masters!

 

[Hawktagonapus]

BTN's outstanding wrestler: a guy who lost his match. Pathetic

 

[TDJ7]

Probably a stupid question but gimme a break I played hoops. Could Burak have gotten back points there without the takedown?

No, you have to have control (a takedown) to score backpoints. But you can pin from a neutral or defensive position.

 

[Omahahawk86]

Burak should have won the match. Besides that,he took two shots and score on both(or should have). That's definitely a match he needs to win. He needs to beat him at big tens. If he beats him there that is the difference between the 3 seed and the 5 seed at ncaas.

 

[JohnBasedow]

Should have been two for Burak. Need more urgency in the first two periods though.

 

[Mountain Man Hawk]

Gibbons on the broadcast seemed to think it was a takedown for Burak but he wasn't super emphatic about it. He said the question was whether the clock had expired or not by the time he established control. The refs reviewed it for a really long time before deciding to just stick with the call on the mat.

 

[Mountain Man Hawk]

Grothus was really close to a first period takedown but it turned into a scramble and Thorn came out of it with the takedown instead. Grothus had some more chances later in the match but just couldn't quite get it done. He was really close. Of course, there were potential back points for Thorn early in the meet but JRob decided not to review because he didn't want to give Brody a chance to catch his breath. They never showed a replay so I have no idea if there really should have been points awarded or not.

As Gibbons would say Thorn "brought his hips to the party" in that split instance when Brody was trying for a big move (which he is prone to do). I think perhaps a little more conventional approach there and he's able to secure a takedown and go from there. But, that's not who he is, and it cost him in this instance. Brody wrestled a good kid tough, good effort out of him I thought.

No more breaks for Grothus. Keep him in the lineup and get him sharpened up.
