2020 B1G Tournament

It's really astounding that despite losing Berge, Cassar and now Nevills, we can still win this thing. Unreal.
 
And this why they say, you have to wrestle the matches. Bad day for Iowa. Very bad day.
LOL. Iowa has 7 guys in the semis. Their 3 losses in the quarters were all mild upsets at most, and those 3 should do well on the backside. Iowa is maybe one semi finalist shy of where a lot of people expected them to be.
 
Verk needs to win one to qualify. Correct.

Yes. 10 allocation spots. If Verk beats Purinton in next match, he qualifies. If Purinton wins, the four losers of that consi round will wrestle in a 4-man bracket. Win your first match in the 4-man bracket and you qualify. So Verk needs to win one of his next two matches.

I think Verkleeren would be a a pretty good position to get an at-large if he cannot get one of the 10 spots.
 
Big thanks to whoever runs the Penn State Wrestling Club tournament tracker for B10s and NCAAs. By far you have the best, most up to date system on the Internet. Truly...thank you!! :)

PS...hate to see Nevills go out that way...he deserved better!
 
Will there be a round of consolations before the semis, or will they start simultaneously?

They start w a full round of wrestlebacks first.

Q - when semis kick off, do they hold semi matches to make sure they’re in synch ? Or let them run through.
I can’t remember.

I believe they hold the semis to stay in synch for semis, but not for the consolation matches around them.

Your guys looking good just like I said and knew it would be close. Hawks need all the guys in cons to win and place top 5 at least.
Desanto does not look sharp RBY will beat him tonite..Lugo could get upset by Lee from Mn . Who will Verk have to wrestle and he can qualify right for nationals.
Agree that Desanto looks off, definitely not whistle to whistle non-stop-go that we're used to.

Any official or unofficial word on Nevill's health and/or status about continuing to wrestle today?
 
Did Byers or someone else confirm that Seth is done?

Confirm, no, but he did opine this might be it for Nevills for the season. I got the sense Jeff doesn't expect to see any more of Seth this weekend or at nattys.
 
Need some help folks...I was out for part of the day and I want to go watch Shak vs Warner...does anyone know what mat they wrestled on? Thanks.

Even for those who don't have Flo -- go into FloArena, open the brackets, click on the match, will display the mat # and the scoring recap. That info is free.
 
Not sure how Brandon gave up that last TD

Bummer. He had his chances. Just couldn't finish. I don't see the 9th place bracket in Floarena but with 8 allocations, I would think there would be a 9th place that he could wrestle for and hope for the best for the wildcard allocation.
 
Dang. The curse of 125 now includes getting our hopes up (for a qualifier at least) before dashing them.
