2017 NCAAs Session I Thread

2nd year in a row that Jimmy gets the luck of drawing an injured wrestler. NICE!

Not sure what the hell Zacherl was doing. Was only down 1 point and did nothing until deciding to take a shot with 1 second left.
 
Jimmy wins by tech fall over Gasca... who here thought that was going to happen coming into the tourney?
 
141 R1: Gulibon vs. Javier Gasca III (MSU)

Really hope this is a good start for the Nittany Lions

Per 1
Jimmy reaches, nothing. Jimmy snaps the head down and spins around behind for the TD. Stoppage for Gasca (injury or blood?) with 2:33 left. Jimmy elects to start down.

Gasca could do nothing with that hurt shoulder, Notice he literally did not extend it at all during the match. Good for PSU to get a little luck considering the 125/133 injuries and getting JG some confidence. Would not be surprised if Gasca medical forfeit his next match.

Gasca didn't seemed too injured when he pinned Jimmy 2 weeks ago.
 
Kolodzik isnt unbeatable...but his defense is just so solid, jimmy shots have to be crisp and finish.

JB said happened after his match with Jimmy. He had a big black sling on his shoulder, didn't move it at all during the match. You could tell Gasca was really hurting.

Kolodzik in control of Diehl, should make an interesting 2nd round match for Jimmy this evening.
 
looking like no upsets in Thorn, McKenna matches. Good news for Jimmy's potential consi matches. Need Ashnault to beat Pletcher next round.

I don't care if Gasca was injured. The bad luck PSU has with Nick being hurt is huge, so any advantage we can get I'll take.

Jimmy was awesome! I'm hoping that inspires him. He can beat anyone in the country if he believes.

LemonPie could be right, could be wrong. I guess we will see next round how much, and everyone is a little banged up right now. Was right in LemonPie's wheelhouse to jump on the injury. Bottom line though, Gasca is just not that great and just shows flashes of being good at times (like at B1Gs). Throughout his career.

Plus, Jimmy did an excellent job of incorporating the strategy espoused by a certain poster on here (can't recall his name, haven't seen him posting in a while) of doing nothing until the 3rd period to defeat Gasca.
