2018 B1G Championship Session 4 Thread

I wish Cenzo would have got on his offense a little sooner. He can beat Imar but he has to shoot. Well at least the Hawk Fans had something to cheer about.:rolleyes:
I always like to use it against them when the guy who they once cheered for goes back on nd I tell them that "your boy's up now!" Of course, they have zero idea what I'm talking about.
 
Again, we see that not getting off bottom was a huge factor for the losing wrestler. IMar's riding time point was really the difference in the 165 lb bout against Joseph.

The motion that allowed Cenzo to beat IMar last year isn't there today, IMar was comfortable the whole time. That said, Cenzo is right there with him.

And Cenzo probably wins for losing here, probably winding up with a 3 seed and on same side as McFadden instead of IMar. Beating IMar would've made McFadden the easy #1 decision and Cenzo Imar 2/3.

Not sure what the deal is with PSU guys today in the finals. Zain with very few offensive attempts. Cenzo waiting until 30 seconds left to take a shot. Hall wresting another unnecessarily close match. Not exactly on their A game this afternoon.

Congrats Mark. Recovered nicely from a mistake on that reversal. Nice game plan by Amine.

I've noticed Hall doesn't use that boot scoot/sliding low single that he did last year. It wasn't a great finishing move but it was great for him to get to the leg. Hall is one of the best finishers IMO once he gets to a leg
 
Marky looked to be shooting daggers with his eyes at someone in the crowd after the match.
 
Sorenson had no intention of winning that match. The game plan was simple.. don't get majored.

I wouldn't say that. However, the game plan was likely to keep the match close and low scoring and hope to hit something late. It actually worked, except Sorensen never came close to scoring a single point, either by TD or escape.

I think tOSU clinches team title with any win over the these next three matches.

Don’t understand how announcers can want a second stall there. I like stall calls but c’mon.
 
OK. Who's the next arse to come on here and say Myles wins the big ones and Bo can't...now 6-2 against Martin.
They have the same amount of national titles. That’s the only thing that matters. Just read the comments on this thread.
