2020 B1G Tournament

[jrd23psu]

Young goes down. The number two seed is 0-2 at B1Gs. I'm with the contingent of people who believe he is cutting too much weight. He is too talented to be wrestling like this.

 

[Hotshoe]

Young out?

He should wrestle later tonight as well.

 

[Cali_Nittany]

Did anyone else think that Yayha Thomas was hosed against Sasso? I swear that they were both out of bounds before the ref gave a stall call for Sasso.

 

[NoVaLion2]

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.

Click the dropdown next to "Main bracket" and it has the 9th place bracket. Meredith has Aguilar from Rutgers.

 

[Chickenman Testa]

Ouch, Young goes down 3-1 ro Eric Barrone.

Brutal for a 2 seed.

 

[Hotshoe]

Maybe not since he had a bye. Not sure.

 

[NittanyChris]

Seems like Kaleb Young hates wrestling.

 

[Cali_Nittany]

Yep, its filled in now. They must've waited until the consis were completed.

 

[bigs22]

157 only has 6 allocations. So he is done. He will need (and will get) an at-large to qualify.

 

[Cowbell Man]

That Nebraska kids length is tough for Verk. I think he still has matches but shouldn't he have a good chance at a wildcard in no matter what?

If he places 10th here, he will qualify. After that, he has to hope for very few if any upsets here or nationally.

In order to win, you do have to get a TD, though, and at this point he seems unable to mount much of any leg attack. On the plus side, he does win matches against guys ranked lower than him....generally.

I thought so , will watch that again.

I think the Big10 only has 6 automatic bids at 157. If so, it doesn’t matter what Young does later tonight. He’ll have to get an at-large bid.

Edit: Already covered - bigs22 beat me to it.

He will get an at-large for sure but he's going to have a much, much tougher draw now.

 

[NoVaLion2]

I don't think there's a 9th place bracket at 157.

 

[Pocono Lion]

He should wrestle later tonight as well.

JB said 157 only has 6 qualifiers and Young is done

 

[Cali_Nittany]

About .83%

He needs three straight upsets.

 

[PAallDAY]

This time of year sure brings out the fair weathers. Verk’s year isn’t even over and you’re already trying to bury his career. Classy.

Verk is a tough kid, and I wish him well — he just isn’t good enough to be a starter at this program. Failing to see that, doesn’t make you a better fan .. sorry.

 

[Cali_Nittany]

He'll certainly get an at-large but his seeding will take a yuuge hit.

 

[Pocono Lion]

I think the Big10 only has 6 automatic bids at 157. If so, it doesn’t matter what Young does later tonight. No NCAAs for him.

Edit: Already covered - bigs22 beat me to it.

Wouldn’t he be likely to get an at-large spot?

 

[russelscout]

He should get an at large bid.

Thanks. Hard to keep track bouncing around so many pages. B1G+ app keeps crashing as well. However, my first generation Chromecast is still going strong!

 

[Cali_Nittany]

Questioning Verk's toughness makes you a worse fan... sorry.

 

[eddy line]

Wouldn’t he be likely to get an at-large spot?

Yes. I was wrong and have corrected my initial post.

 

[Hotshoe]

Dude, knock it the hell off. Let it good.

 

[russelscout]

Doesnt even matter honestly. No matter the seed, Young will win, or more likely lose by 1 or in sudden victory. Very little offense from him this year.

that was a typo - I changed it

Thanks. He doesn't even try shots on those better guys which means he has to win those counters and scrambles. Razor thin way to get the W.

Any theory on why he seems to have regressed from last season? 157 also emptied out quite a bit so it looks even worse.

Maybe failing to vocalize it on a forum does.

 

[wradidas49]

So is anybody giving any updates or what?

 

[psujeepman1]

Who does Verk wrestle next? It looks like the MSU kiddo advanced by injury default?

 

[Dwayne_Johnson33]

Flo Arena

 

[jrd23psu]

I'd rather have no fans that fans that question the toughness of our guys. Verk is tough as nails. His toughness has nothing to do with him losing. This is a tough sport, the toughest actually. The guy that lines up across from him wants to win, too.

 

[Dunkindonuts]

Regardless we take a strong 6 man team to Minny to face Iowa's 10.

Well, he actually is a starter at this program...so....

 

[Hotshoe]

Our next match is RBY vs DeSanto.

 

[Cali_Nittany]

Warner in the hole in mat 4. We'll see if Shak is still in his head.

 

[PAgeologist]

That's BS if Young gets an at large. You go 0-2 at your conference tournament, you shouldn't get to go to Nationals. I don't care how well he did during the regular season. You can make an argument if he injury defaulted out of the tournament, but he wrestled 2 complete matches and lost them both.

 

[m.knox]

So is anybody giving any updates or what?

Not much to update. They are wrestling back to start the session. I was wondering why there were so many MSU matches......
