NCAA Tournament Session 3 Thread

Go back and watch Franek and Teemer at the 1 minute mark in the 3rd period, Franek has the TD dead to rights and doesn't finish.

SOOOOO frustrating to watch this debacle. Finish a damn shot guys, have a sense of urgency and get tough.
You don't get many chances in these matches you have to capitalize.
 
This is very likely the case. But can you think of a program that has more nc’s or high placers as sophomores and juniors that disappeared as seniors? McDonough, Sorensen, St John, Marinelli, Kemmerer just to name recent guys. Injuries are a huge part, but seems like a running theme that our seniors are physically shot.
Gee wonder where the blame rests for that trend.
 
He was in concussion protocol for about 10 min and got taken down with about 15 seconds to go to lose 5-3
okay that makes sense. I only saw the final sequence and he gave that up so easy and then looked confused.
 
Need to see a nice convincing win by Caliendo here. Really want it to show why putting Ramirez at the 3 and Carr and Hamiti at the 4 and 5, respectively was a damn joke…
Not much they could do with Ramirez's win over Carr
 
Buying guys in the portal isn't going to fix what's wrong with this program.

At what point is anyone willing to change the approach????

Really, can anyone explain it to me?
The portal should be a way to plug 1-2 holes a year. You could make arguments they need to be portal hunting at 133, 141, 149, 157, 184, and even 197. Just not how you build a contending team. Have to recruit and develop.

Sorry, but that is just a really dumb play on words. Iowa is quite content with the 2.5 points he scored for that 1 match he “didn’t” win…
We're all pleased with the points, no doubt. I'm just thinking the kid has to be disappointed getting to the Nationals and losing the only matches where he saw the mat.

unfortunately, i think this is going to be the approach going forward...you're starting to see it in fball and bball, only makes sense it is going to wrestling and other sports.

I get that, but I also think worse losses should play a substantial part as well. Ramirez looked terrible against Olejnik and that match basically gets fully ignored…
