Chaid from UNC can’t buy a stall call either. Somebody fix these effin refs. Too m
Cael would be jealous of Sugars locks.
Most likely (hopefully) the hair?

There was an article earlier this week that said Cael wanted Rasheed to cut his hair and he decided not to.
The arguments about pins the refs aren't calling are valid, but the opponents-are-wrestling-to-not-get-pinned thoughts are excuses. We dominate the Most Dominant standings, and the matches which got us there didn't have a bunch of guys dying to be pinned. I'll bet the three Iowa falls in round one had guys who didn't want to get pinned. Find a way, impose your will.
Yeah. Putting a kid on his back after taking extended injury time is terrible. No wonder everyone hates us.
Maybe in the next round we'll face guys who try to win rather than wrestle to stay off their back.
Anyone know what mat Nevills will be on. Track isn't showing many of the upcoming matches at 285 for me
Don’t agree with this. If a wrestler is specifically wrestling no to get pinned, then its likely that they aren’t wrestling to win either, i.e. they aren’t being aggressive and exposing themselves. Example - look at results when Sorenson wrestles Zain to win like last year and when he wrestles not to lose big like the BIG finals this year.
Now Iowa's had 4 guys who didn't care about getting pinned. Guess we just had an unlucky draw.
These guys have also all qualified for nationals, so to a large degree, you're talking about really great wrestlers with outstanding skills, but to get to NCAA's and turtle out knowing that it guarantees your loss is on the defensive wrestler and the refs. Admittedly, when it happens and if the refs allow it, you have to adjust, but......
Leave it to Nevills. Nick gets the fall, the first of the tourney, to cap the round for PSU over Suglio of Kent
It was during the Media interviews before they left campus. The coaches told him to cut it and Shak at first said he would, then he thought about how long he has been growing it and decided not to cut it so he got the skull cap. He said he will cut it soon.
285: #3 seed Nick Nevills vs. Stephen Suglio (Kent State)
Unfortunately for the Nevills family, Nick and AJ are wrestling at the same time.
Per 1
Suglio in on a low single, Nick counters, and eventually a stalemate with 51 sec left. Nick In on a double and gets the TD, 2-0 with 30 sec left. End. RT @ 32 sec for Nevills
Per 2
Suglio takes neutral. Suglioin on a low single, Nick working some funk, ends up with Suglio's leg and has him dancing then tripped to the mat for the TD, 4-0. Nick gets a tilt and gets 4 NF, 8-0. OOB with 8 sec. End. RT @ 1:35 for Nevills
Per 3
Nevills takes top. He works an arm bar, and he tilts him, and has him in trouble. And there's the pin @ 5:24!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Finally a pin for PSU

Yes. He got pinned but I believe was only down 3-0 late in the 3rd when it happened
how about a golf clap for the hawks being in 1st place after round 1.
not sure if this is good or bad for the HR. the regulars know what is up, but their Bball and football guys are going to go bonkers tomorrow, I predict.

Quite possibly. I thought Retherford definitely had his guy pinned. Rasheed was very close but couldn't tell for sure.

Interesting that OSU got 3 more wins in the 1st round yet only leads PSU by a point. Sure that gives them more potential points, but clearly our winners on the whole outperformed theirs.
