Tsirtsis

I'm not sure which is more surprising -- that Tsirtsis lost or that more than 3 points were scored by anyone wrestling in a match involving Tsirtsis.
With what's going on at NW and his sister's death, maybe he's just not with it and needs a vacation.
1st period:
Ties, neither doing much. T in on a leg on a reshot, gets to leg and tries to come out the back, but C drapes over back and hangs on for stalemate. C has a lower stance, T looks a little sluggish, hand on knee. They tie up again, neither getting the advantage, and period ends 0-0.
2nd period:
T starts down, up and out quickly. 1-0 T. Shot by C, T defends with standing front headlock. T sluggish. C with a nice outside single to T's left leg, splits legs, T bails, C gets the TD. 1-2 C. T bellies down, C has left wrist, looking for bar arm, ref calls potentially dangerous. T slow getting up, takes injury time, hyper-extended elbow. Takes full minute, drinks water. C takes down on the restart, up and out at the buzzer to make it 1-3.
3rd period:
C chooses both up. C is energized now, smells the win. C throws by T's right elbow and gets to right leg, gets the TD to make it 1-5. T bellies out, stall warning on T. C working T's left wrist again, T isn't making any attempt to get up. Another stall call on T makes it 1-6. Still no movement by T and C not doing much either--looks like a freestyle match with T just laying there waiting for ref to put them on their feet. C rides him out, gets riding time point to make it 1-7.
C looked good, but it was more a case of T looking like he had the flu.

Sounds like either he was sick or he didn't manage the cut well. That said, he's not usually much more active than your description, Tarp, outside of one takedown or an escape in OT.
As well as off season surgery that he's still recovering from. No excuses, he lost and continued to show no offense, but kid has a lot in his mind.
Okay just saw the match. He did not look anywhere near himself. Tsirtsis is one of the most stingiest wrestlers I've ever seen and it definitely didn't show there.
Since, I am totally unbiased, I am going to say...Zain.
Good test this weekend: Retherford and CJ Cobb could meet at the Nittany Lion Open. Cobb had a win over Sorensen in March, if I remember correctly.
Retherford has too much offense for Cobb in my opinion. Zain is definitely wrestling like the number 1 guy this year, but Brandon has also looked liked a contender. Brandon looked good last year and looks to have improved on the offensive side. His D was never in question. This will be a great matchup in March if they meet up.
Just watched this. "He's my guy, he doesn't know me but he's my guy". Good stuff. (He kind of looks like Brent)
