WTH Abe!!!Geer chose down and escapes, then drops in on a shot for TD when Abe gets caught reaching.
Abe has to learn how to get out. Can't score any points if you're on the bottom. Cmon Abe, keep wrestling here.
:45 left in 2nd period.
Abe gets called for a deserved stall warning. Abe is gonna gets majored if he's not careful. Cmon Abe Assad, start working for yourself.
End of 2 period. 0-5 Geer leads.
No doubt, and they've gotten better. Haven't seen it from Desanto. I wouldn't rule out mental block. Seems quite obvious when he's wrestling RBY, gets in super deep on a shot and then just sits there. His agressiveness stops as soon as he's in deep on the legs.Mental block is probably that they’re both really really good.
Amazing job!!!Thanks to everyone who contributed to the PBP.
Well the rest of the world has that mental block again Fix then too.Desanto has some mental block against fix and rby where he can’t finish shots
This was Ybarra's best match of his career; still a loss but showing marked improvement. But sure hoping we see Ayala from here on out.
ADS just not as good as the top 2.
Eierman left some points on the board, as always, but an easy win.
Nice match by Murin against 1st or 2nd round-type oppponent.
Ditto Young.
Nice start by Marinelli--beautiful first-period TD--but then he played right into that guy's strategy, which is everyone's strategy against Marinelli: keep it close and try to get a TD in the last :30. A good win nonetheless.
Kem never challenged by #10 guy. So good on top.
Assad looked absolutely horrid. He's just not improving, and that's a big concern.
Warner with a rare major.
Cass scaring me there a bit.
Hawks looking competitive, and a lot of wrestling left in the next 5 weeks.
No nearfall points by either team tonight.
Easy Fist. I think he looked decent but tentative. He needs to build confidence. Never wrestling decent guys will prevent that. He didn't lose to America's best, but he got a good feel and he's got Terry in his ear. I think Abe will be a guy we expect less of than originally thought but he will have a tourney surprise or 2 that will get needed points and really leverage his next step in mat maturity.Terrible showing by Assad. Truly pathetic match.
Those are the matches he needs to at least be competitive in if he wants to sniff the podium.
Shit. Might as well have stayed in IC for the weekend.
