Seen a few comments already...can we stop with the bullshit "He doesn't deserve this or that" or the rest of the down talking? Brandon got outwrestled tonight, plain and simple...it happens.

Agreed, the difference was that shot he got in on, that Lugo scrambled out of and converted to a TD of his own.
He got out of position on that last scramble...could have sat and waited for the restart but inexplicably tried to adjust around and swung around into a bad position.
Do you remember how much time was on the clock in the SV when he got taken down? I thought that too, looked like he was fine to sit there and get a stalemate then he swung around and got in that weird position and tried to lock in the crotch but it was too late at that point, Lugo cut across for the double then.
He will be in the finals with Zain.. will be great final for the next two years.
Sorry, I can't resist, I usually don't reply to Iowa specific topics over here but, wth? So Sorenson had a bad day. Why are some people throwing him under the bus? He was a Zain away from a national championship. He's already earned respect.
My concern is that he will be in the semifinals with Zain and not the finals. Still a great wrestler and competitor. I am not sure how a poster can decide whether a wrestler deserves something or not.
Chief you might as well have just put my name on there. I don't mind the call out because I don't give a shit about what other people think about me. But I'll say this on Brandon's behalf: Mayes still has to go through the MAC tourney and he'll see Thomsen again and maybe lose twice at the tourney. He's not out of it but he no longer controls his own destiny.
Edit: and the way his season has gone he can't afford to have a bad night. And a championship contender's bad night should be an ugly close win, not a loss.

Not just you bro...there were others. It's a matter of perspective I guess...Brandon is either going to learn his lesson or he won't but the dude has been aces for us and I think this is his first loss since 2015 NCAAs against a "lesser" opponent. Lugo is a good one but Brandon shouldn't have lost...he sat back in OT and let Lugo initiate the action. Same with Collica. But I do think your caffeine levels were kind of high when you posted
I think everyone is more bummed than anything. Trying to work around the bee hive you just can't get stung. BS got stung today. It is what it is though. BS has been one of Iowas best for three years. Nobody is disrespecting him for that. Just bummed that he lost. I think it would be disrespectful if fans weren't pissed about the loss.
Been somewhat disappointed with Sorensen's lack of aggressiveness and crispness in his finishes, but watching "wrestling with Iowa" makes me appreciate what a great kid he is and makes me root for him even harder.
Oh....I was too. But then it looked like Kemdawg went down hard because of his knee but he got up and finished his match. That ended the "I'm pissed" part of the evening because I was so happy he wasn't injured.
I agree. I think if he takes care of business in the B10s and beats Micah in the semis he'll be fine since all others ranked behind him also have one or more losses against lesser opponents. I just don't like the fact that BS was taken down 3 times...just doesn't happen.
After the night to sleep on it I will change my wording as to what I meant. If he gets the 4 seed and has to wrestle Zain in the semis that's the seed he deserves for this year. As much as I'd like to see him in the finals against Zain he just didn't have the consistency this year. I'm not ripping BS just being a realist that whatever seed he gets he deserves.Not just you bro...there were others.

I am starting to wonder whether Brandon is 100%. Just doesnt seem himself on a consistent basis. A lot more up and down this year.
Well we all know, the flu is going around. Seriously though, I would bet the house that he will perform at the NCAA's up to his potential.
Lugo had nothing to lose and everything to gain. Brandon's seed wouldn't have been affected at all if he won.
Lugo had way more motivation

Theoretically, wouldn't Brandon stand a better chance getting Zain on Friday night as opposed to seeing him on full feed on Saturday?
Clearly, opposite side is the best path to the finals but I think same side gives him the best chance to win.

I agree that's his best chance to win it all but unfortunately I don't see it happening I think he would score more team points if he doesn't have Zain on his side I think he makes the finals even after the loss last night
In a year where a team title is not realistic, I rather him have a stand a slightly better chance of winning it all rather than playing for second.
Well we shall see I will be there pulling for him but he just does not look like a finalist to me.Hope I am wrong.
