NCAA Championship Thread : Session III

[DeangeloVickers]

Without the ability of hindsight would you have picked down? Yes, yes you would have.
99% of the iowa fanbase hasn't seen that kid wrestle before - everyone would've liked Lee's chances to escape and get back to work in neutral.

And your comment doesn't get my ass wet. It just makes you look like a moran.

No, never. I was screaming it at the time. Take top, tilt him twice and rest up for tonight. Absolutely idiotic decision that even best case was going to gain 1 point in an already 10 pt match. Anyone think Noto would have chosen bottom to start 2nd if given the choice? Of course not.

Here you can see Spencer signaling neutral in one of the pics. Just comical.

 

[Doodads and Hoohah]

For how athletic RBY is, his style is pretty boring

Totally agree he does just enough to win. Which I guess is good but not very entertaining.

 

[MSU158]

You guys are HILARIOUS. Lee shouldn't pick bottom up 10-0, going into the 2nd, but RBY just picked bottom against Nagao in the third period, tied 0-0, after getting ridden out at B1G's.

Just stick to being a fan...

 

[Muscles1989]

I have decent knowledge of wrestling,, never wrestled myself but in between rounds I thought oh he'll choose neutral then he went down and I thought what the f***

It’s frustrating to see someone feel

Totally agree he does just enough to win. Which I guess is good but not very entertaining.

he wants to go into mma after this, not sure how his style will translate when someone is punching him in the face

 

[blcoach80]

Nagao is really solid. What is he for age?

 

[edquinn06]

Hope Teske doesn’t take down here.

ABSOLUTELY WRONG!

The BS with this KYB Jelly has got to stop!!!! Does he have to wrestle????? It is way beyond stupid what the F*** st wrestlers are allowed to do! They stale their asses off, and the other wrestler gets frustrated and has to take chances to create something.

It was his choice, he wanted neutral, and terry put him under. if he had gotten beat, they should have walked terry out of the building in cuffs

YEP!!!

The F*** st staff is a disgrace for how the coach the stall!!! We need the current rules called ass written. We need the push out rule added!!!

 

[just_somebody]

Lee was looking at the clock quite a bit in the third period, but still had enough to hold on to that leg and finish when the other guys will to fight left him with about 10 seconds left.


I much prefer the first period terminations, so if he could do that two more times, that would be great. No need to make it interesting like vs Ramos last time

 

[dtripp26]

There’s no prepping at this point…only game planning and execution.

Game plan? What's that?

 

[Trapper85]

He’s won 3 titles, been in the program for years and Lee doesn’t get to choose what he feels is best in a match? Just odd

In a different thread I asked the honest question about how the dynamic plays out if Spencer and coach were to disagree. In short, was basically told it was stupid to even ask, of course Spencer does what he prefers. So I guess we can assume Spencer chose down and we should take it up with him??

 

[Gusaford]

Risk/reward, up 10-0, the world's greatest hammer up top, a virtual cash register in scoring points from the top position, there's no percentage in taking down. None. Bring a money-ball mindset to your coaching.

 

[edquinn06]

Another bad coaching choice. Nicky is good on top

 

[Hawkeye4lifee]

Teske shouldve taken neutral here wtf

 

[DeangeloVickers]

Anyone see glory figure 4 dry hump Courtney's leg the entire 1st period? How that's allowed is beyond me.

 

[Redm18]

Good sign they had real take neutral

 

[just_somebody]

Hope Teske doesn’t take down here.

lol. Teske goes down (and gets ridden out), Woods goes neutral. what coach is each corner right now?

 

[edquinn06]

Coaches are way too old school. Teske isn’t Desanto

 

[Chalkdaddy94]

Morningstar is smart. Told Woods to go neutral

 

[Chalkdaddy94]

Know your opponent!!!

 

[AFHawk86]

ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS take the certain escape over the possible reversal. ALWAYS!

 

[LaxHawk174]

There's the Woods we're used to seeing. Totally dominant so far. Bonus: we didn't go down into our opponents strength.

 

[just_somebody]

Woods looking fine in the 3rd here.

 

[Hawkeye4lifee]

Woods is killing this dude

 

[AFHawk86]

There's the Woods we're used to seeing. Totally dominant so far. Bonus: we didn't go down into our opponents strength.

Much better and smarter match than last night.

 

[Chalkdaddy94]

Great match Woods!!!!

 

[Chuck C]

Well if Lee gets to Glory I guess he should be working bottom. Glory 100% will choose top against Lee. Lee should do the same.

You work on bottom during the regular season. Nationals is not the time.

 

[just_somebody]

If teske is able to escape, he probably wins.. if he never takes down...?

 

[js8793]

great match from real and good for the coaches learning from mistakes and not putting him under

 

[edquinn06]

133 is a whole for us next year. Need to find an upgrade.

 

[Doodads and Hoohah]

Real looked real good there

 

[just_somebody]

Come on Matthews..

 

[Muscles1989]

Teske bounced but Woods looked as good for the entire match as he has all year.

 

[blcoach80]

There's the Woods we're used to seeing. Totally dominant so far. Bonus: we didn't go down into our opponents strength.

Yes, way to make me eat crow Real. Smart, dominant match. I'm stoked I was wrong and his knee looked fine.

 

[just_somebody]

Can they just stall out both Matthews and Bartlett?

Seeing that 12/20 matchup in the other semi opposite Max is both frustrating and alluring (if max could pull this one out somehow)

 

[bdcolt45er]

We are winning you guys.

 

[Idahopennstatefan]

Woods Hardy part 3 semi should be a good one!

 

[bdcolt45er]

Teske bounced but Woods looked as good for the entire match as he has all year.

How were those not backs at the end. Looked at past 90 from my angle.

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

133 is a whole for us next year. Need to find an upgrade.

Lol shows you how far behind the state of Iowa has fallen in HS wrestling as far as it comes to translating to high level success in college......................amirite?

Holy moly
