2017 NCAAs Session 3 Thread

A few post-match comments from Retherford...

The intensity of QFs...
"Test your will power, test your focus, test much you want it, so it's fun."

On working toward a fall...
"I kind of go with the flow of things. I'm thinking in my mind at the beginning of the match (that he wants a fall) but ultimately I can't control what they do all the time, so you just have to go with the flow."

On Gulibon's bonus-point effort in wrestle-backs...
"That's awesome. We need Jimmy. I'm happy for him. I didn't know (he got a major).

"(Gulibon has responded) the way I thought he would. Just kind of bounce back. He has s smile on his face today, shaking it off and that's awesome that he did that."

On the focus of the team race...

"I think it's just each individual does the best that they can. So yeah it's kind of on my mind but if I worry about that too much then I'm worrying about how the other teams are scoring and stuff like that. All I've got to focus on and what all the other guys have to focus on is wrestling their best and then the team race will take care of itself, so that's kind how our focus has been. Each guy gives their all and that's all we can ask."

174 Quarter, Mark Hall vs. Zack Epperly (VT)

ESPN elects to not show this match, thank gosh for ESPN3

Per 1
Epperly in on a single, Hall counters, and gets the TD as they go OOB at 2:08, 2-0. Epperly trying to work up, OOB at 2:08. Hall working a tilt, switches to the other side, and gets swipes -- 2 NF awarded, 4-0. OOB at 1:01. Epperly up, tripped down, tilt, but only 1 swipe, and OOB with 43 sec left. RT over 1 min. Another tilt and 4 NF, 8-0. End. RT at 2:09.

Per 2
Hall takes bottom. Not much movement off of the whistle. Hall to his feet, taken back down. Epperly throws in a half nelson, nothing. Hall works up from his base, and they are OOB at 1:10. Hall up quickly, turns in, and gets an esc, 9-0. Epperly dives in, Hall with a whizzer, but Epperly gets behind for the TD, 9-2. Stoppage for ?? at 1:25. It's blood or injury on Hall. We're back. Hall up to his feet, taken back down, and OOB at 21 sec. RT now below 1 min. Hall to his feet, tries to turn, stuffed, and taken back down. End. RT at 23 sec for Hall

Per 3
Epperly takes bottom. Interesting. Epperly up, tries a roll, but Hall stays with him. Stall warning on Hall, at 1:43. OOB as RT is now over 1 min for Hall. Epperly tries to stand, Hall tries to get a cradle, Epperly rolls, Hall trying to avoid the reversal, and he maintains control. RT now over 2 min. With RT, it's a 10-2 major for Mark Hall!!!!!!!
 
Did I imagine that clock issue in the Hall match? Did they reset it without my seeing it? If not, I fear some funky review.
 
Nickal with a third showdown with Dudley and the second in a month. Let's hope he continues to roll. It looks like Bo has a renewed focus on the fundamentals since this loss at B1Gs, though.

I didn't notice the clock running. I must have missed it. They can't go back now, though. There's nothing they can do.
