Where is Manning and his “break” notions now!

Can someone post a gif or something of a “break” move or motion? Lol I didn’t get to see it and have no clue what people are talking about. Or at least explain wth it is? Thx

 

[CurtisLoew40]

NCAA doesn't really test, so probably quite a few guys juicing. They'll cycle off before the one test a year at the NCAA tournament.

Two weeks is not like enough to “cycle off”. Zero chance he’s on it right now if the one time wrestlers get tested is at NCAA’s. Unless he wants to fail lol. Dude is a huge 197 with like 6 or 7% body fat. His defense is solid and if you don’t walk forward while he’s on his knees then he’s limited offensively. I can see him going HW as soon as gable and Parris leave. If he can talk the dude is made to be in the wwe.
197 is the best weight in the country. Doesn’t have that one stud, like spencer or two like hw but it’s easily 10-12 deep with guys who can make the finals. Could of had one more if wisconsin wasn’t the only team not to understand the free year thing lol.

RT is 21 seconds
under 35 seconds left
I like Warner in SV and TB but lett's not go there
End of 3
Going to SV
Warmer has good body language. toes the line

Amine is almost like J’den Cox when it comes to sweating. Freaking crazy.

 

[CurtisLoew40]

Seeing highlights of Spencer Lee tearing up Pop Warner football is awesome.

Haha I agree I freaking loved that. It’d be nice if they would show more stuff like that. That TD run tho, he bounces off a couple guys, gets hit, runs guy over, gets hit and almost pulled down, he puts his hand down and keeps himself up right!!! Then squirts out the pile and takes it to the house. Great shit.

 

[McCulloughd]

Wow. Just maybe Iowa will have one big ten champion.

 

[Insurance Guy]

Wow. Just maybe Iowa will have one big ten champion.

I see 4 most likely. If you're going to be a tard trying to stir up things, why not just say 0 in lieu of 1?

 

[artradley]

Warner was pretty upset, but you aren't going to win many matches scoring 1 point, and he should know that by now.

Warner is not big, but he's bigger than Amine, he just didn't do anything to wear on him, then got outquicked because he was just looking to tie up instead of looking for his offense. The guy has some skills, put them on display and let the chips fall where they may.

I gave up on Warner ever taking shots long ago. He can AA with sprawl and go-behind, so that’s all he does.

 

[Jcchawk]

Wow. Just maybe Iowa will have one big ten champion.

You think Marinelli and Kemmerer are going to lose ? Nice troll attempt.

 

[Gobblin]

He’s an aa. Has done his job as far as I’m concerned. Again keyboard warriors type. He’s doing his best. Yes we expected more but he’s doing his job!!! Calm down best is yet to come.

BRACKETS

Six Hawkeyes Advance to B1G Championship Finals

UNIVERSITY PARK, PA -- The top-ranked University of Iowa wrestling team advanced six Hawkeyes to the finals and sits in first place at the 2021 Big Ten Championships following Saturday night semifinal action at the Bryce Jordan Center.

Defending champions Spencer Lee and Alex Marinelli are returning to the finals. Lee is defending the 125-pound title and Marinelli is aiming for his third straight conference title at 165.

Lee and Marinelli are joined in the finals by Austin DeSanto (133), Jaydin Eierman (141), Kaleb Young (157) and Michael Kemerer (174). Kemerer is a two-time runner up making his third finals appearance. DeSanto, Eierman and Young are all first-time Big Ten conference finalists.

Lee won by fall in 23 seconds, tying the school record for fastest pin at a Big Ten Championships. The record was matched earlier in the day by Tony Cassioppi, and first set in 1992 by Bart Chelesvig. Lee defends his 125-pound title against seventh-seeded Devin Schroder of Purdue. It is a rematch of the 2020 conference finals when Lee defeated Schroder by 16-2 major decision.

Marinelli is back in the finals following a 2-0 decision at 165. He will meet Ohio State’s third-seeded Ethan Smith. Marinelli won conference titles in 2019 and 2020. In the history of the program, there have been seven four-time champions and 18 three-time champions. Marinelli could become the 26th Hawkeye in school history to win three conference titles.

Kemerer advanced to the finals with a 4-2 decision. He meets Penn State’s third-seeded Carter Starocci in the 174-pound finals.

DeSanto and Eierman are both in the Big Ten finals for the first time in their careers. DeSanto advanced with a 5-4 win at 133. Eierman, who won three MAC titles for Missouri from 2017-19, won by 7-1 decision. DeSanto faces Penn State’s top-seeded Roman Bravo-Young, and Eierman gets Penn State’s Nick Lee, the No. 2 seed.

Young won 3-2 in the second tiebreak period to advance to the finals, where he meets Northwestern’s top-seeded Ryan Deakin.

Iowa dropped a pair of matches in the semifinals. Jacob Warner lost 3-1 in sudden victory and Tony Cassioppi lost by fall. Both wrestlers return to action Sunday in the consolation semifinals.

Max Murin and Nelson Brands competed on the backside of the bracket Saturday night. Brands picked up a pair of wins and has earned an automatic berth at 184 pounds to the 2021 NCAA Championships on March 18-20 in St. Louis. Murin, ranked No. 5 in the coaches poll, dropped his consolation match and is eligible for at-large consideration to the national championships at 149 pounds.

The Hawkeyes are in first place after Session II with 126.5 points. Penn State, Nebraska, Michigan and Purdue round out the top five.

QUOTING COACH TOM BRANDS

“Opening comment number one, there is a lot of wrestling left to do. Opening comment number two, we have got to get ready to wrestle tomorrow. Opening comment number three, we are going to have some tough matches. This is the qualifier and we are going to another tournament. We have to stay tough, have got to keep doing what we are doing and add to it a little bit.

“Nelson Brands just won two big matches on the backside of the bracket, that is huge. We got a couple guys who did not get what they wanted on that front side and they are going to be in the consolation bracket tomorrow and they have to come back strong. We have some guys in the finals and we are going to have to go out and be ready, ready. And I mean ready, ready.”

NOTABLES

• Spencer Lee’s 23-second fall ties for the fast fall by a Hawkeye at the Big Ten Championships. Bart Chelesvig did it in 1992, and Tony Cassioppi did it in Session I of the 2021 Big Ten Championships (today).
• Lee’s fall was the 26th of his career, 21 have been in the first period. The 23-second fall was a career best.
• Alex Marinelli is one win shy of his third straight Big Ten title. There have been 18 three-time conference champions in program history, the last was T.J. Williams from 1999-2001. (There have been seven four-time champions in school history.)
• Kemerer is back in the conference finals for the third time (2017, 2020).
• Nine Hawkeyes have earned automatic berths to the 2021 NCAA Championships.

This article from hawkeyesports and @Chips28 are both incorrect about Iowa currently having 9 automatic qualifiers. Warner needs to win 1 more match to be an automatic qualifier. Big 10 has 5 automatic qualifiers at 197. At least according to this list from the NCAA in the link I am providing.

According to the NCAA.com article you linked, B1G sends 6 at 197 - the champ + 5 pre-allocations. Warner is qualified.

You’re reading it wrong. The big ten champion automatically gets a bid no matter what, then pre allocations are determined for each conference. The big ten was awarded 5 pre allocations for 197. Add that to the automatic bid of the champion and the weight gets 6.

No prob. You're welcome.

 

[Digger1]

Ok guys thank you. I am glad to be wrong. Apologizes to @Chips28 and hawkyesports.

Is that the way its always been?

 

[sstark46]

Ok guys thank you. I am glad to be wrong. Apologizes to @Chips28 and hawkyesports.

I don't believe so. In years past, they usually include the champ in the numbers as "auto-qualifiers". This year is different in that only the champ "auto qualifies", but each conference has a set number of pre-allocations beyond that. It is a little confusing the way they presented the information this year, I'll give you that

 

[meatloaf55]

Ok guys thank you. I am glad to be wrong. Apologizes to @Chips28 and hawkyesports.

Is that the way its always been?

I dont think so. It is a dumb and confusing way to do it. Why say 5 qualifiers and the champ auto qualifies when all 6 auto qualify. Kind of has a first runner up beauty pagent ring to it

 

[Reymundo]

I’d guess they did it this way because the conference champions don’t need to meet the 4 match minimum. The other auto qualifiers do.

it confused Ironside too, Grace had to explain it... so we were in good company

I don't know If you're correct, but it makes the most sense of anything I've seen, I think........Ha!

that would make sense. I didn't realize the difference. That's fair

 

[PSUNATTY2020]

Why did the EIWA keep their full allocations? Absolutely ridiculous.
