2018 B1G Championship Session 4 Thread

I'm not sure why I'm sick of Snyder, but I am. I'd like to see him go down again. A little ego check would do him some good.
 
Coon and Snyder II
Not much offense as first period winds down. Thought Snyder might have a response.

Coon chooses down to srat second. Escapes immediately and looks to go upper body but Snyder not having it. Back to collar ties. Minute left.

Snyder chooses down to start the third. He's up and away.
Blood time, Snyder, 1:20 remaining.
Neither guy has shot as we're under :30.
Snyder finally gets to a leg and immediately abandons it. Time runs out and we're going to SV.

Snyder gets an ankle, nearly makes it work, but Coon tries to go behind, Snyder scuttles out of bounds.

2OT
Coon up and out quickly.

3OT
Snyder having trouble but yes, he gets away. Coon now with :07 RT advantage.
[Deciding this on RT is like when Olympic hockey goes to shootout, so hoping for something decisive.]
Wow, Snyder gets to the ankle, lifts, Coon dances away, out of bounds, and Snyder gets the TD but out of bounds? Challenge but replay suggests he might have it... and he does, Snyder wins 4-2, setting up a great rubber match in Cleveland.

Wrong. He dominated the match for six minutes. MM can't wait til 60 seconds left to get busy and then expect to get stall points. That's ludicrous.

Not wrong. Yes, Nickal was in control most of the match, but he was stalling his ass off the last 20-30 seconds. No way to sugarcoat it. He could easily have been dinged with another stalling call.

Nope. Absolutely wrong, for the reasons I stated. Guys who are passive for 85% of the match don't deserve to get stall calls.
 
Snyder is “The Man”...to do what he does at 215-220 is impressive. Heck of a wrestler and great representative of USA Wrestling...got to give it to him. For those that don’t are just simply what they call “Haters”...
 
I don't think Shak looks outmatched here, just needs to make adjustments. This Moore isn't the same Moore Cassar wrestled a few weeks ago. Rec Hall makes a difference.
Yes it is. Rasheed will need to take Moore's left side offense away from him as Cassar did naturally.
 
Well, Nickal was stalling pretty blatantly at the end. It's a bad look for him.
I'm sorry but I guy who gets busy in the last 30 seconds doesnt deserve a second call there IMO when he wasnt the aggressor for the previous two and a half periods.

thought he was out of bounds, but great job by Snyder

He was. Had already stepped out with the right foot, and the left toe dragged out before Coon's knees hit. Don't know why they have replay in sports when they get it wrong so frequently. Granted my screen is 125" and I can freeze it, but they can zoom and see it as well.

No disrespect to Snyder, who is a stud.

Anybody notice there is a big difference between the elite tier (top 3) teams and everybody else.
 
Congrats to tOSU! They wrestled this tournament extremely well. True, this format favors their team configuration, but they capitalized. I’m not a big fan of Tan Tom’s sometimes annoying antics, but it’s easy to root for their wrestlers (goofy bathrobes notwithstanding). They have always acted classy whenever I’ve been watching. And congrats to the good guys for taking 2nd. They absolutely dominated every team not named tOSU and are well positioned to make an excellent run at repeating as national champs!
 
Final score for Neville’s Thanks.
5-2 Nick. Was winning 5-0 late...cut him and then got a late stall I think.

Nolf wrestles and we win...B10's. Its that simple. NCAAs should be ours if Nolf can finish the tournament...which he should be able to.

9 are going. Just have to wait and see if Kuhn gets an at-large.

He could have, but that would have been chicken shyt. For 6plus minutes all of the offense was pretty much initiated by Bo. If Martin was not doing much for over 6 minutes I would not reward him for 30 seconds of expending energy.

Nice job by tOSU, they wrestled well and would of won even with a healthy Nolf.

I don't know about that. They won by 15.5. A healthy Nolf winning with bonus might have made that up. Which is pretty scary when you think of the facts that Zane, Hall and Bo got zero bonus in the finals and two guys lost.
 
no facts & no stats...

but it feels like we left bonus on the board (zain, no nolf, rasheed, nickal)

but it feels like tO$U had a great tournament (I know BoJo)

but it feels like we didnt (NLee, no nolf) bring our best

last year I felt we just flat out lost, not feeling the same this year.

will be a f** 2 weeks of banter for sure

PS- anyone know the score of PU and PSU in bball?
