2021 B1G Tournament
- Thread starter Tom McAndrew
- Start date
I was really enjoying that match because Manning is such a crybaby whiner without a mask yet. When Brady started in the bottom position and Licking threw in the boots, maskless Manning was screaming " punish him, punish him" even though Brady had a 6-2 lead at the time. He's such a douche bag and I know you guys get irritated by Amine's Father but Manning irritates me even more!
6 wild cards at 149. 7 allocations for Big Ten. 8th place will get a wild card. Its hard to imagine that 5 other wrestlers would get wild cards over #5 ranked Murin.
Yeah I know, ha. I was just not sure how Murin will be viewed.
Brands.... hmm something ironic about that name.
Yeah, he’s the worst. Without the fans you hear more of his idiocy
Not how it works at all. Murin is a lock. Bartlett is a long shot. Only has wins over the Maryland starters at 149.
Pretty big mistake not wrestling Bartlett all year. He has no quality wins at the weight and was already ranked on the fringe of the coaches rankings.
I guess you're right. Especially with so many teams not going this year. It just seems illogical to go 0-2 at BIGs and make it to nationals.

You have to think some of that was ring rust - they haven’t wrestled competitively since when?
I want implying automatically. Just thinking since he's already qualified and had a med Forfeit he will again.
Iowa style. Like watching paint dry.
He's likely ineligible for an at-large.
Here are the criteria:
https://ncaaorg.s3.amazonaws.com/ch.../2020-21D1MWR_QualifierAllocationCriteria.pdf
Wrestlers that meet two or more of the at-large consideration standards will be eligible for at-large selection. Minimum standards include:
Y - .700 overall winning percentage (8-3 = 73%)
N - .700 Division I winning percentage at the weight class (4-3 = 57%)
Maybe - Top 33 Coaches Ranking (Taken after the qualifying tournament)
N - One win against a wrestler who qualified via a pre-allocated spot or AQ
N - Qualifying event placement one below pre-allocated spots
N - Seeded in top 16 during 2020 selections
N - Finished in top 8 during 2019 Championships
The only way he's eligible is if he somehow makes the final Coaches Ranking. He was 26th and went 1-2. Not looking good.
If he is somehow eligible, then you start getting into who needs an at-large. Murin losing hurts here -- one less spot for Beau.
Each match is assigned a bout number. If you can find brackets with them listed, at least it gives you an idea of where to find them. My start would be Track or the PSU Wrestling Club. You may even find the mat assignments on them.
Howard really cranked it up a few notches today, tomorrow and nations are must watches for him
Murin is an easy call. He's in unless he's injured. He fulfills most of the at-large criteria (see post 451 above), of which he only needed to satisfy 2.
Now, that is possible.
They could have been using the Tom Ryan playbook and take the default into the conscis to avoid a possible ass beating and save your efforts for the wrestle backs.
We have (or can earn) numerous chances to stop Hawkeye scoring tomorrow (133, 141, 174, 197, 285) Let's have some fun!
I'm up in the mountains of NE WA state. Sometimes we have enough satellite to watch a video others times not. Had to work some in middle of day but tried to follow as much as possible. We do have bigten network but had to follow on track for other matches.
I remember he was yakking at McIntosh one year after MM rode his guy hard. His guy went on top and Manning told the kid to punish him or something. I think Morgan ended up reversing and decking him
Hahaha loved Smack’s top game!
Wow. Lots of wrestling today. We looked asleep in the morning but came out firing in session 2.
9 guys going to nationals..big positive as Lemon always said we need at least 8.
Feel bad for Beau. Kid seems to give 100% effort every match. Size definetly hurt him. Bright future for the kid. Was a pleasure watching him this year. Hope he gets a wildcard but highly doubt it.
MVP—Nick Lee. What a match against a great opponent
Balls of steel—Aaron Brooks. Coming back after getting bit, scratched and what appeared to be a bad ankle injury. Puts Brands on his back and shows the champion he is
Iceman—Carter Starocci. What else can you say? Ice in his veins. Beat 3 #2 ranked wrestlers this year. Keeps finding a way against the best competition.
Mr. Smooth-RBY..looked in business mode today. Air of confidence about him like he knows he’s the best guy on the mat.
Howard..disappointed he dropped the first one.Stormed thru backside (showed a lot of heart) and the win against Ragusin will give him a ton of confidence. Looked really good upper body
Berge..total professional wrestler. I enjoy watching him and feel like he can win every match.
Beard..looked EXCELLENT all day. Totally out wrestled Amine and without the slip wins it. Very excited for him going forward.
Kerk..I realize he’s just getting back into it and probably hasn’t had a ton if any mat time. He took it on the chin vs Parris but I’m grateful he’s on our team. Watch out once he gets his lungs and a little more mat time. Can’t wait to see him in a couple weeks.
Joe Lee..Dispointing tournament.Nothing else to say. I’m sure he’s not happy with his performance and I feel for him. He snuck in and qualified to NCAAs. He’s a LEE, I love him and hope he takes this opportunity to dial it in and trust his low shots. He’s so good when he’s shooting low.
Proud of all our guys today!!
All positives tomorrow! Let’s Go!!!

Manning is sometimes like an out-of-control Dad at a Little League game—one in which every kid at bat is his son and every called strike merits being contested (in his mind at least).
At least Maryland didn't bring Robin Ficker.

Getting tired of thinking “can Carter really beat this guy”? One more upset tomorrow and he’s #1 seed in STL.
Four TDs in six matches is pretty light. But, to no surprise, bonus points are a lot harder to come by in the semifinals. A much better indicator would be to consider total number of matches and total bonus points in both Session 1 and Session 2. And, oh yeah, you conveniently omitted Spencer Lee.
