Honestly, in Gilman's 1st period I was surprised they dinged the bottom guy; both were just sitting there waiting for the other one to make a move. I would have called double-stall.
Also, by rule when Gilman pushed him out of bounds at one point it should have been a stall on him.
But I agree that stallling calls have been better this year
Did anyone see the Hall Garrett match? Did Hall have Vaseline on the back of his legs. Is that why they stopped the match early
If true, then why not score more? Lower the risk of getting caught in a scramble late and losing.
Cooper in a shot, but Matthews comes around and now tilts Cooper to his back.
This will be challenged. It's a 6 point move for Matthews unless they call it an illegal hold.

No doubt Collica is wrestling well, but style and match-ups often trump how well a guy is wrestling. I like this match-up stylistically for Brandon. Collica isn't going to out-quick him for a blast double like I'd fear from Mayes. I'm not thinking of seeds, either. First, Collica is better than 11, IMO. I don't consider his win over Mayes much of an upset. Still, would rather see him than Mayes.
Cooper working an arm bar in the second period, but can't turn him. Matthews escapes and it's 7-0 now.
Cooper shoots, but Matthews comes out of it and gets the TD. Now leads 9-0.

uuh, he was 3rd last year as a Frosh, and on his way to the finals. Comparison holds no water
Yeah M*/Evans except Brandon is going to win national titles.
It's stale and old....we need a better assistant... No surprise they wrestle like him as that's who he probably works out with. Iowa has settled into a nice little 3-5 place national team with our current setup coaching wise. Wrestling is and has changed, we need athletes, we have a lot of kids who can wrestle but they have cement shoes and move like a turtle
Not every wrestler can have the same Metcalf/Ramos/Brands style. You can be successful in different ways. I agree wrestling is changing but kids need to be coached to their abilities. I love aggression but Sorensen is going to win 1 point matches, thats just the way it is.
I'd like to see him widen the gap on guys, but it's hard to argue with his results. He's already on pace to put together a much more successful career than either Ryan or Mike, so that's a poor comparison.
Iowa fans always want to see our guys pile up the points, but I don't think it does anyone any good to piss and moan about a sophomore who placed 4th as a freshman, has one loss on the year by 4-point decision to one of the nation's most dominant wrestlers, and has a great shot at the finals.
High expectations are great, but I'd like to think Iowa fans are more interested in supporting their guys than bitching 24/7 about every conceivable negative aspect of the program.
We're a spoiled bunch.

Briiliant. Go back to the basketball board.
I'm going to go way out on a limb and guess "no".
This team needs to work on rolling around on scrambles because they stink in them. Any kind of funky mat guy and we look clueless. Some of the moves we get caught in, smh. Not to mention we never hit these or even anything as crazy as a cradle on anyone else. Out of the major teams we have the most limited big move repertoires.
