NCAA Tournament Session 3 Thread

[jmadden1998]

We have 4 in the Quarterfinals and 5 in the Consis. Wrestling begins at 11am on ESPNU and individual mats available with an ESPN+ subscription.

Match ups

125 Ayala vs Spratley (Oklahoma St) Quarter
133 Teske vs Brown (Maryland) Consi of 16 #2
141 Woods vs McNeil (North Carolina) Quarter
149 Rathjen vs D’Emilio (Ohio St) Consi of 16 #2
157 Franek vs Teemer (Arizona St) Quarter
165 Caliendo vs Ramirez (Cornell) Quarter
174 Kennedy vs Murphy (Campbell) Consi of 16 #2
197 Glazier vs Little (Little Rock) Consi of 16 #2
285 Hill vs Catka (Virginia Tech) Consi of 16 #2

Most in the Quarter’s

Penn St 8
Nebraska 7
Iowa St 5
Michigan 5
NC State 5
Iowa 4
VA Tech 4
Arizona St 4
Ohio St 3
Missouri 3

This is where you will see the team scores start to separate. A win in the quarters means the worse the wrestler can finish is 6th. Each win also gets an advancement point. 6th place is worth 6 points so each win in the quarters will add 7 team points to the total plus any bonus.

A win today means All-American?

 

[PSU Mike]

I like the Hawks’ quarters matchups.

 

[loonhawk]

A win today means All-American?

Yes - quarterfinal winners are guaranteed 6th place and AA status.

 

[tiltman]

A win today means All-American?

Only if you’re still on the front side and win to make it to the semis. Guys on the backside could win this morning and lose tonight yet to not place.

 

[Squarehat]

We like our guys

 

[Chalkdaddy94]

I always forget... Is there a full round of consolations this morning before the quarterfinals start?

 

[swensok]

Ayala and Woods will both be on Mat 5

 

[jmadden1998]

I always forget... Is there a full round of consolations this morning before the quarterfinals start?

No. Mats 1,2,7, & 8 are consis and mats 3-6 will be quarterfinals. All start at 11am. Drake will be first up on mat 5. Teske in the hole mat 1, and Woods in the hole mat 5

it's two rounds of consolation this morning...i think.

 

[sstark46]

Yep. 2 rounds of consolations in each of the morning and night sessions today

 

[Nashville_Hawkeye]

I like the Hawks’ quarters matchups.

I like 3 of them. I think Franek is going to need 2, if not 3 TDs to beat Teemer; he can't wait for the 3rd period to get started.

Correct. I was responding to the poster asking if they run a round of consis before the quarters. They do not. They run simultaneously and then after the quarters they will run another round of consis.

 

[HawkFan1986]

Friday is moving day. Hopefully we wrestle like they did last night. Guys on the backside have nothing to lose, leave it all out there. Guys on the front side should have proved to themselves that offensive wrestling works last night.

[MonteHawkeyeSS]

If Figs from yesterday shows up I think he takes out Davis.

 

[Iron Doc]

Had to be in the Great White North yesterday, so thanks to the posters on here for the indepth analysis of our Day 1 wrestling performance.

I will see to it that you have your reward in Heaven.

 

[Grip220]

LFG

 

[sdvike]

Heres to going 9-0 this morning. Go Hawks.

 

[Muscles1989]

LFG nut up or shut up day

 

[Muscles1989]

Whole bunch of nothing but blood time after the first

 

[Trapper85]

Ayala looking too tentative so far.....

 

[jmadden1998]

Drake and Spratley a lot of hand fighting and multiple stoppages for blood time. Scoreless after 1

 

[Muscles1989]

Drakes gotta go, waiting around isn’t gonna work.

 

[TDJ7]

 

[jmadden1998]

Spratley takes down. Out in about 10 seconds. 1-0. Drake goes down to start the 3rd. Out quickly. 1-1.

 

[TDJ7]

One day Drake will realize this approach does not work.

 

[jmadden1998]

Drake and Spratley going to SV. Figueroa beats Davis.

 

[jmadden1998]

Noto beats Ramos. Drake on a single leg. Needs to finish here. Drake finishes. TD!!! Wins 4-1

 

[Hawkeye4lifee]

That was an emotional roller coaster

 

[js8793]

I think they were early on that and it's gonna screw drake because he was still in great position to score

 

[Hawkdiver]

NIce finish for Drake. What can they possibly want to throw the brick on?

 

[jmadden1998]

Smith is challenging but it was a clear TD.

 

[Cobra Kiowa]

Spratleys hand in bounds, right? To remove all doubt.

 

[HawkFan1986]

If they overturn this I’m going to lose my damn mind.

 

[GableBeer]

No way they reverse that.

 

[Trapper85]

I could see this overturned

 

[Hawkeye4lifee]

What a crazy start to this session

 

[TDJ7]

They better not overturn this.

 

[bdcolt45er]

The challenge here is kind of BS because they stopped action. If action continues he has a good chance to finish.
