[Junglekitty]

Are they running all the placing matches at the same time or will finals be wrestled by themselves?

Same time

That’s unfortunate

Thank you for all you have done and are doing! Mucho appreciated.

 

[NoVaLion2]

That’s unfortunate

The championship matches will be on the center mat (2, I think). 3rd and 5th on the outside mats. I can't recall if they usually run one weight at a time on the outer mats, or just let them run continuously.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

I can't recall if they usually run one weight at a time on the outer mats, or just let them run continuously.

I believe in recent years they would wait until all 3 matches were completed, and then proceed to the next weight. As such, if there is a quick end in a final, the BTN TV feed has switched to coverage of the 3rd place or 5th place match.

But I'm going from memory, so my apologies if I'm incorrect.

 

[Thenightking]

Rutgers still a top ten team going into the final session

 

[Creek Side]

Fun fact to kick start Session 4. The area around Collinsville Illinois grows 60% of the worlds horseradish supply.

LET THE WRESTLING BEGIN!

 

[District four]

How many times has all the number one seeds made the finals?

 

[LDandy]

Very impressed with the job MSU has done. It wasn’t that long ago the finished like -1 or something crazy.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Kind of interesting that Track is not showing any mat assignments on their Dashboard

Who took over as head coach at MSU?

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Championship -- mat 1

3rd place -- mat 2

5th place -- mat 3

 

[Tom McAndrew]

now they're posted

 

[dsites52]

So wait, How could Iowa be a traditional power when wrestling only started 10 years ago?

 

[LDandy]

Who took over as head coach at MSU?

Chandler I believe is still the coach. Took over the program a few years back nd has slowly built it back.

 

[MikeDerukey]

{insert Pletcher vs Carton mat assignment joke here}

This is going to be a great night of wrestling! I cannot wait!

 

[dmm53]

Anyone getting. a live stream yet for the 5th and 3rd place matches on BTN +?

 

[AgSurfer]

Wow! Is that the first time Lee was behind in a match this year?

 

[amattaro]

Spencer worried about that knee coming off?

 

[PSUPride1]

Wow! Is that the first time Lee was behind in a match this year?

Lee definitely doesn't suck.

 

[AgSurfer]

Typical Lee - ducking the 3rd period again!

 

[Tom McAndrew]

125 5th Place Match: Robbie Howard vs. Michael DeAugustino (NW)

a true fresh vs. a RS soph

Howard was the #11 seed, and will finish either 5th or 6th.

Per 1
Howard tries a duck, nothing. DeA gets a TD, then OOB, 0-2. Caution on DeA on the restart. Howard grabs an ankle, trying to work out the back, eventually a stalemate with 1:19 left. Howard to his feet, tries to turn in, DeA on the legs and a stall warning. Howard up, and back down. Howard is flat. End. RT @ 2:03 for DeA

Per 2
DeA takes bottom. DeA to his feet, Howard stays with him, but DeA finally gets the esc, 0-3. Not a lot going on. Howard seems active, but no real shots. Stalemate. End. RT @ 1:38 for DeA

Per 3
Howard takes neutral. Howard nearly in on a counter, but nothing. Stalemate. Howard in on a low single, DeA scrambles and grabs Howard's ankle, Robbie trying to expose DeA's back but it's not happening. Robbie gets a late TD, 2-3. End. With 1:27 in RT, it's a 2-4 decision for DeA

Robbie Howard takes 6th place

 

[CJFisJoePaII]

Anybody on here subscribe to BTN+? If so, could you post the results in 3rd & 5th place matches? Thx.

 

[dmm53]

Howard loses 4-2 in the 5/6 match. Takes 6th.

Scored a takedown at the end of the 3rd but it took quite a while to get it and the clock expired before he could release his opponent and go for another.

 

[Media Fan]

Typical Lee - ducking the 3rd period again!

Unfortunate realization that he gets another year.
All 6 Iowa seniors get to do it again.

 

[okinburg1]

HR says RBY up 2-1. Any other info???

 

[District four]

Rby up 4-2 with riding time

 

[Tom McAndrew]

133 Final: RBY vs. Austin DeSanto (Iowa)

#1 seed vs. #2 seed

This has the potential to be an entertaining match.

Per 1
DeSanto in on a head inside single, RBY sprawls, nothing. Nice flurry. RBY lighting quick behind and gets the TD, 2-0. DeSanto works up and gets the esc after 23 sec, 2-1. Stalemate with 57 sec left. Stalemate with 22 sec left. End. RT @ 23 sec for RBY

Per 2
DeSanto takes bottom. DeSanto up quickly and gets the esc, 2-2. RBY with a shot from way out, and nearly gets a leg, but nothing. 1 min left. RBY with a throw-by and gets behind for the TD, 4-2. OOB with 34 sec. DeSanto to his feet, and tripped down. DeSanto back up, and back down. RT over 1 min. End. RT @ 1:13 for RBY

Per 3
RBY takes bottom. RBY moves up, and is out but RT is down to 58 sec. 5-2. DeSanto in on a low single, RBY sprawls and they are OOB with 1:22 left. Stall warning on RBY. 30 sec left. DeSanto shoots, RBY sprawls, and they are OOB with 24 sec left. OOB with 4 sec. RBY in on a low single but there's the buzzer.

5-2, RBY, as he takes 1st place!!!!!

 

[capkrokus]

RBY!

 

[mcruny42]

Smart match by RBY, well wrestled.

 

[District four]

Love how quick he is. Desanto has no clue what the how happened. First go behind he was like whaaaat

 

[Cali_Nittany]

 

[LDandy]

Nice job by RBY. Desanto is such a difficult matchup for everyone, but when Roman figured him out and started hiding the hand he has pretty much had his number.

 

[Hotshoe]

RBY owns him now. A pure thing of beauty. But the arm! The arm is behind his back! Lol

 

[dmm53]

Great performance. Well executed game plan. RBY might still end up with the #2 seed at NCAAs if Fix gets #1. Might have DeSanto again in the semis.

 

[AgSurfer]

RBY has to be one of the quickest wrestlers I've ever seen. He's almost like Spiderman out there!

 

[pish69]

RBY!! Congrats kid!
