NCWWC Nationals preview

[The-Dude-Abides]

Far from full

I really wish they would separate this from Big Ten weekend. Not that they would sell our, but it has to really limit those willing to travel/miss Big Tens.

Please

Bella is not very likeable damn lol

I like some fight too, but not a literal fight. Mir was throwing hands and literally got called for an intentional headbutt, then proceeded to talk shit afterwards.

That's being a punk.

Plus she didn't want to "fight" everyday with Kilty and Larramendy in practice, so she transferred out.

There was no love loss there, you could tell by her interaction with Chen on the podium.

The Thomas Gilman of Iowa Women's wrestling. I was rooting for her in matches not against us, but she made it clear last night her bridges are burned, and the antics in and after the finals made me lose any respect I had for her.

I hope becoming an official NCAA sport gets that part of the timeline changed, but I'm not holding my breath, because Men's BB and Women's BB interfere with each other's post-season. Last year I missed Day Two of the Women, this year Day One of the men. I'd love to not have to make that choice in the future.
I'm also disappointed with the support (fan attendance) that the Women's team receives. I know it's a new sport for many, but this IS Wrestletown USA.

Very disappointing attendance, these are world class athletes who put on a tremendous showing. The finals were great, they all went for it. Unlike what often happens on the men's side.

Thank you for the expertise. Love to learn from someone that cannot bother to spell the head coaches name correctly.

I live far from Iowa, best I get is the US Open…attendance is sad there as well.

I think that only applies to the finals.

It applies in every match. Purpose is simply so one team does not throw points their way by having one wrestler take a fall to get two more team points.

Do a breakdown of Murphy's points. Track has her scoring 22.5 team points. I'm not sure if the point structure is the same for the men and women, but I'd assume they are for the most part.

Scoring is the same as men's. You are correct though, it looks as though the team scores include bonus points from matches between teammates. That gave us an extra 3.5 (Rianne by fall over Sterling and Kylie by tech over Naomi) and North Central an extra handful as well. Not enough to meaningfully change the results but strange that it wasn't caught anywhere

 

[A Fist Full of Hawkeyes]

Thank you for the expertise. Love to learn from someone that cannot bother to spell the head coaches name correctly.

Don't be a pick, it was an autocorrect.
So we disagree on Bella Mir, who is no longer a Hawkeye. Who cares? Don't take it so personally.

Aside from competing with Big Tens, the Girls State AAU tournament is this weekend (in Cedar Rapids). 1600 young ladies are taking part in that tournament. There’s no doubt that many of those girls (and their families) would have been at Extreme Arena if there wasn’t a conflict. Very unfortunate & something that needs to be considered, moving forward.
