Well the Hawkeye fans would have loved that Match.

Beard wins 1-0.

 

[Mcnulty7310]

Beard 1-0 over Reenan

 

[dbldoofus]

Impressive win.

 

[LemonPie]

STRONG!

There's your 0-0.5 NCAA point scorer! (according to NoVa Lion)

 

[Thenightking]

Why did Reenan take neutral for his choice??

 

[dunkej01]

when are 1-0 wins better than others.....

though that isnt the Nick Reenan at his best ability

 

[STAND with PRIDE]

Geer lost

 

[bowandarrow]

The hyper-competitive streak has always been there, and it's gonna come out more and more as he gains familiarity at this level.

Witness (for Flo subscribers) last year's Powerade final vs. Nijenhuis: leading late, Starocci protected his lead by shooting and scoring. Nijenhuis took exception. Starocci was having none of it.

Good write-up here, plus Starocci's post-match interview:

Thanks for the links, love it.

Gonna do a Lemon Pie and predict with absolute certainty that Nick Reenan is too much for Beard to handle at this stage of their respective careers.

Not so fast, my friend!

 

[I.J.W.T.]

Why did Reenan take neutral for his choice??

Didn’t want Beard on top.

 

[pish69]

Happy Reenan lost like that. Didn’t try one shot all match until end. Beard consistently shooting 1st and 2nd periods and Reenan gets no stall against t him. Reenan takes a shot at end and gets stall..

Interesting Reenan scared to go under Beard in the 3rd

 

[manmythlegend1]

Beard Passed another Test....1 more before the Final Exam

 

[El-Jefe]

Why did Reenan take neutral for his choice??

Well, if you're a freestyle world team member, and your opponent is a scoring machine on top, feet might be your best option.

[eddy line]

My main takeaway from that match is Nick Reenan did not want to go under Michael

Major respect for a RS JR not to want to go under a true freshman.

Yes. Down 1-0 entering the third period, Reenan chose neutral. Surprised me.

 

[RoarLions1]

Over and out...

 

[tikk10]

Aaannnd scene.

That was a Strange decision by Reenan, Interesting indeed

 

[tikk10]

Over and out...

Thanks Roar for the PBP.

 

[Cowbell Man]

The Three Amigos slide up a little higher to 13th with 32.5 points and Lee doesn’t wrestle until the blood round. So they will probably slide back a little.

 

[82bordeaux]

Why did Reenan take neutral for his choice??

He didn't want to get tilted.

 

[johnstownsteel]

Will be looking forward to Hawkeye fans looking forward to Brooks, Starocci and Beard to graduate...

 

[BruceK-PSU83]

Major respect for a RS JR not to want to go under a true freshman.

Am I the only one surprised by that? Or is Reenan just not that good from bottom?

 

[dicemen99]

I'm not basing on one match. Mattox got him a few times in these positions last summer as well. Im sure if you go back, you'll continue to find examples.

Fair enough. I didn't see the Mattox match. Assuming it was in freestyle.

 

[RandyL]

Thanks Roar.
Was wondering what happened to you for awhile.
Thought maybe you had fallen asleep...I know you're getting old.

 

[El-Jefe]

 

[McScoreley]

Am I the only one surprised by that? Or is Reenan just not that good from bottom?

Michael is a menace on top. Reenan did not want to get tilted or even ridden out in the 3rd. He picked the choice to give himself the best chance.

 

[PSUNATTY2020]

He didn't want to get tilted.

Bad move though imo

Didnt Willie break a court order with that tweet? Lol

 

[raslen007]

Glad these Citadel kids showed up to give our guys a "Wilkes" feel. Simulates what it's like to wrestle a PSU schedule as a starter. Invaluable experience.

Nice put down of a college athletes.

 

[Raw Daddy]

Starocci is going to be a BEAST!!!! Lee-Starocci-Brooks-Beard Don't Body Lock Throw Brands next season quite yet!!

Kerk/Nevills

 

[dunkej01]

Joe Lee could have a banner day tomorrow coming back for 3rd.

 

[psudotedu]

Still a great win for Beard.

But, Reenan didn't look 100%. He attempted a bunch of throw-bys w/ little intent to follow through. He barely moved after he got to Beard's legs on the last couple shots he took.

There's no way he would choose neutral there if he was a 100% healthy.

That was a Strange decision by Reenan, Interesting indeed

 

[nitlion6]

Well the Hawkeye fans would have loved that Match.

Beard wins 1-0.

There would have been some discord with no shoving for stall calls.

 

[pish69]

Does Joe Lee wrestle again tonight?

 

[Sportfan2017]

Why did Reenan take neutral for his choice??

Protecting against (old?) injury would be my guess. No offense but Nick didn't look close to 100%......hence.....no offense.

 

[5q]

Who they got in the semi’s ? Any ranked foe’s?

Kind of what I was wondering; thanks.

If Reenan was that hurt (which he could have been), I don't know why he wouldn't Mfft out. Why risk the rest of the season for a holiday tournament? I don't know anything, but it wouldn't seem wise to wrestle him at Scuffle if he is significantly injured.

 

[Sportfan2017]

Does Joe Lee wrestle again tonight?

No...….tomorrow morning.
