NCAA Tourney Session I Thread

Not a great start at all. Gilman's guy had one purpose in Thst match and that was to not get turned. He literally did nothing else so hard to fault Gilman but man we needed a fall on that kid. Clark? He better turn it up. No urgency. No aggressiveness. Not really committed to much of anything. Should've t'falled that kid if not found a fall. I don't like what I saw in the first two matches. Hope we see a change when Sorenson hits the mat and for the rest of the day.

I admit I'm sure you know way more about wrestling than me but I was impressed by the first 2 matches. These are tourney qualifiers and we dominated.

Really? Bonus pts in both matches. We have started much worse in recent years. Plus, we ain't choking like OSU has in recent years.

And Penn State bringing it so far. Not the start we needed at all today. Guys better pick it up and in a hurry. We need a clean sheet here in round 1. Survive and advance whatever it takes. And our high seeded guys need to bring some damn urgency and score bonus points! Not just majors. Falls.
 
McKenna (#2 seed at 141) pulls out victory in OT. 141 weight class is definitely wide open this year.
 
For the second year in a row, Ohio St is wrestling like they are on something. One tech and 2 pins ..........
 
I agree with you to some degree Broth87. Gilman basically demoralized his opponent and took him down at will ended up with a TF. I would have liked to see him pin the kid but the kid was doing whatever he could to prevent a fall. Clark should have opened it up a little more in the third period like Megaludas did from PSU. Although Megaludas came up short of a TF by a point. However, both guys came away scoring bonus points which is better than no bonus.

At 125, Mega got a major and we got a tech. +.5
At 133, Conaway got a decision and we got a major. +1.5
At 141, Gullibon got a tech and we got nothing. Even

Through three weights we were even with Penn State in terms of bonus points despite having one less wrestler. I don't think jumping to conclusions so soon is a good idea. There's still a lot of wrestling left.
 
Lion you are an idiot! Why are you even here? Your team is the new kid on the block that has has success for four years. When you get to 20 National Championships than I will respect the program. Until then, you're not even on the level of Minnesota, Okie St. or Iowa.
 
Lion8286 go on over to your little room that just started the day Cael showed up as you were irrelevant until then. We all know Ped U is the heavy favorite here and the Hawks need everything to go their way to win this thing. All anyone was doing is commenting on the 2.5 gift you just had handed to you. Go sip your Heinekens with your other new wrestling fan buddies.

Sorensen rides him out to end the first period. Has 54 seconds of riding time.

Barber chooses down to start the second. Now over a minute riding time for Sorensen.

Sorensen over 2 minutes riding time now.
 
Gulibon basically sucks all season, draws the #5 seed in round one, #5 seed is injured, and Gulibon gets a TF. Come on mam, that's great coaching.
Listening on radio and Ironside said that the kid from Mizzou had a huge brace on his right knee and couldn't move at all. Said he probably got hurt in his conference tourney and tried to give it a go.
 
Barber called for stalling, point Sorensen, makes it 3-0.

Sorensen rides him the entire second period. Still 3-0 plus has riding time secured.

PSU has been a very successful program for decades. They may not have won any national championships but they were a solid top 5 program for many years. Doesn't matter if you think we are NKOTB, we are top dog now. I bet if Iowa won 4 MNC in football or mens basketball, their fans would be bragging up a storm.
 
Sorensen down to start the third period. Gets a quick escape and it's 4-0.

Now Sorensen in on a leg and secures the TD. 6-0
 
Cooper rides him out and it's 6-3 to end the 2nd period.

Cooper escapes to start 3rd period and it's 7-3 plus he has RT secured.
 
Great match between Jo Jo Smith and Jake Ryan.......Smith pulls out victory in OT.
