NCAA Finals Thread

[MilleGinja]

These reviews are out of control. Should set a 30s clock and if the refs can’t figure it out in 30s, the call stands. Move on. If you throw the block and are wrong, that 30s goes to your opponent’s riding time.

Agree on the first part. But abolish ride time.

Daton “Greatest Ever” Fix finishes his career 0-5

 

[The-Dude-Abides]

oh thank god

 

[WildTurk]

Daton “Greatest Ever” Fix finishes his career 0-5

Talented guy. Good career

 

[Libertylover]

rewarded for running. F this

He should transfer to Oklahoma State

 

[Hawkeye4lifee]

We no longer have to watch fix, or lewan again. Things are looking up

 

[MilleGinja]

at what point do you qualify for an honorary national championship? On the fifth trip to the finals without a win?

 

[MAGAman]

Also, the officials acknowledging the shoe grab on the hot mic and then choosing not to enforce it is so wrong. I'd be very upset if I was TNT.

"He didn't grasp at it at first" yeah how do you think he was able to hang on buddy. He missed and then caught and held the shoe.

Agree but woupdnt of mattered

Anybody have a time on how long this match has taken?

they said 22 min

Yeah but he didn't "mean to" so it's all good.

 

[Libertylover]

Welp... We still have the finals streak... Don't really win them anymore tho.

Yay

(Nothing for Drake to hang his head about). He tried to take it to Fig all match... Maybe played into how Fig just sits back all match, but he was looking to score, which is what EVERY screams about.

We got issues all up and down the lineup, but 125 isn't on that list

If Drake would have wrestled that way, he still would’ve lost, because the refs would have stalled him out, and I’m serious.

 

[sdvike]

Every single starting Iowa wrestler lost their last match of the year. Has that ever happened before?

Well, possibly the last time they didnt have a natty champ.

 

[Steamboat529529]

I think it was cool and class act to see Vito’s dad kind of take a backseat and make the rest of the family be in the interview. ESPN was trying so hard to make him come back!

 

[Libertylover]

If Carr wins then ISU beats Iowa by 0.5 in the standings.

I don’t care , need as many PSU loses as possible. If Carr loses, we are looking at the next PSU 4 timer. The announcers always turn this tournament into a PSU infomercial.

 

[MVPFAN]

Man the announcers need to shut the F up.

 

[js8793]

Going Figueroa - Fix - Bartlett is not ideal for fan retention lol. Thank god for Vito and Kerk doing some actual wrestling.

 

[MVPFAN]

They better not screw Mendez.

 

[js8793]

incredible scramble from mendez. if they overturn this i'm turning it off.

 

[Rose bowl or bust]

Bartlett better not get a takedown here after the crap the officials have waved off so far

 

[dhm47]

Looks like PSU 5/6

 

[Sandor45]

Mendez. That was amazing

 

[Hawks...#1]

Scrambling Iowa coaches.....learn it teach its embrace it.

2016
Gilman, Clark, Sorensen 2nd
Burak 4th
Meyer, Brooks 8th

FWIW in 1989 Joe Melchiore got 3rd at 134 and Steve Martin got 7th at 118. Tom was 4th and Mark Reiland (RIP) was 4th at 158. This team was the low point of the Gable era.

 

[MVPFAN]

Mendez is an Indiana kid you stupid shit announcers.

 

[GlenHawk]

Great wrestling by Mendez at the end! Wow.

 

[Trapper85]

Going Figueroa - Fix - Bartlett is not ideal for fan retention lol. Thank god for Vito and Kerk doing some actual wrestling.

But sadly (for us), only 1 of those 3 won.

 

[Hawkeye4lifee]

God I wish mendez wrestled for iowa

 

[js8793]

Mendez is an Indiana kid you stupid shit announcers.

dude they are sooooo bad

 

[vhsalum]

1. Pushout

2. ONLY coaches challenge. Ref made the call leave it that way

You can briefly confer with your assistant and that's it. Everything else has to be a challenge.

I hate that ASU style of staying at the edge and praying for a counter opportunity as much as anyone. Courtney tried the same sh*t v. an ACL-less Lee. But as long as it's allowed we'd better figure out a way to beat it. This was just another example of an Iowa wrestler losing a match late in the 3rd. Becoming all too common.

 

[js8793]

down 6 Gomez is about to let it flyyyyy

 

[MVPFAN]

Henson looks like he weighs 170.

 

[Jason.D.Brantley]

Caleb Henson our next coach.

 

[Jason.D.Brantley]

It looks like he could average 13 points a period. 🤔

 

[Trapper85]

Wow, I liked Gomez but I love Henson now!!

 

[js8793]

with 3 point takedowns he didn't need to go mixer that early

 

[The-Dude-Abides]

Henson and Gomez trying to make up for those ugly first four matches. Hope there are some casual viewers still left.

[Idahopennstatefan]

No moss growing under these guys!

 

[Gonzo Bloor]

Good for that kid. Went out and hammered it.
