The Brucki loss is big! Lots of lost potential points there and Michigan finally losses a guy from the tourney.
You know in Monopoly when a player is losing and quits and gives all its money to another player so they have a chance to beat the person that is winning... That's what it feels like Iowa did.

I'm not an Eireman fan, but I don't think that is remotely fair to him.

I’ll bet all the Iowa fellas became huge Michigan fans today. Good. I want them to feel the pain of losing not once but twice this weekend. Lol

 

[BruceK-PSU83]

Okay. 4 seed Brucki exiting the tournament helps PSU.

First man out for UM, but they still have 8 guys alive. Five in semis and three in R12 consolation bracket.

 

[CSauertiegPSU]

Ragusin with a really tough bloodround match with Byrd tonight. Beat him for third at B1Gs in a really tight match.

 

[jmadden1998]

Orndorff beats Hendrickson from Air Force 9-5. Shows how weak his schedule was this year.

 

[BOSCO2]

I'm not an Eireman fan, but I don't think that is remotely fair to him.

He showed a lot of guts just going out there.

 

[McScoreley]

I said I would laugh as Eierman loses in March (I assumed it'd be to Nick in the finals) after he declared he was coming back but instead I teared up a bit for him. If you told me he wouldn't AA, I would say I would have laughed even harder. I guess him saying "It should have been way worse" after Big Tens didn't sit right with me and he is a bit of a trash talker on Twitter. That being said, obviously none of that ACTUALLY makes him a bad person by any means (I'm sure he's actually a great one)

Seeing him in pain just and pushing through anyways completely changed my stance, this sport is very humanizing. I hope he has speedy and complete recoveries.

[mcpat]

If Composto can beat Micic and Byrd can beat Lewan tonight in the blood round, then PSU and Mich will have the same number of AAs.

All of our semis matches are tough. It won't happen but it wouldn't be a total shocker if we went 0 for 6.

BEGONE, VILE SATAN!!!

The way I see it, Covid-year championships all come with an asterisk.

Not sure why you translate Iowa to equal Eierman, I'm not talking about Eierman specifically, I'm talking about Iowa going 0-3 against Michigan. Eierman is obviously hurt, unfortunate circumstance/timing that he gives a free 2 points to Michigan. He of course didn't give away free points in his first 3 matches. Marinelli losing to Amine didn't help one bit and shouldn't have happened. Young, toss-up, not surprising there. Would have been nice to have had Iowa win at least 1 of those. Guys the boys will just have to do it themselves.

Need to be less obvious to troll.

 

[LDandy]

Micic gets 4.5 team points wrestling two guys seeded lower than his 24 seed and an injury default from the 2 seed.

Similar luck in B1G's getting MFF on the backside of the draw.

 

[mcpat]

FYI

No more PBP from me. If you can’t watch from here on in, that’s your problem.

 

[fbh1]

Bonaccorsi 3-1 over Brucki

I

 

[dmm53]

Penn State's record in the NCAA semifinals under Cael is insanely good. Anyone have the stats? It's crazy good. Something like 90 percent or more.

 

[PAgeologist]

133 Let it fly. Don't make us watch another tight 3-2 match. Or some stall happy, closet Iowa fan ref decide the match.

141
174 Survive and advance.
184

197 Right the ship and grab bonus.

285 Let it fly. Has the tools to at least challenge Gable.

Prediciton is 5-1. Most of all come out heathy.

And can someone take out some Michigan wrestlers along the way? Worst part of this is our guys haven't had the chance to put the brakes on their run.

I’m ROARing to find out who just might have the stats on that…

Uncle Tony

 

[Pitchfork Rebel]

Not even you could predict this ......lololo...hahaha....lololol..hahahah....lolol

You could certainly see it coming in the last few dual meets.

The Brands meat grinder was having a visible effect. I feel sorry for these guys,

 

[Coachdewpsu]

Interesting that 4 of PSU's 6 opponents tonight in the semi's are PA born and raised.
- DeSanto -- Exeter
- Hidlays -- Mifflin Cty
- Hoffman -- Montoursville

And I am sure most if not all, wanted to wrestle for Cael. . . . .

 

[dmm53]

Some stats from another forum (compliments of GoStanford18):

Misc. notes:
- Nine 1-seeds made it to the semis
- Only two weights went chalk (125 & 174)
- 21-seed Goffman (tOSU) @ 197lbs is the lowest seeded wrestler to advance to the semis followed by 15-seed Kizhan Clarke (UNC) @ 141lbs.
- Still only two weights (157 & 197--true before the tournament) are guaranteed to produce a new NCAA Champion.
- Cohlton Schultz (ASU) is still the current leading tournament scorer with 13.5 points (3 wins; 2 falls, 1 decision) followed by Real Woods (STAN) with 12.5 points (3 wins; 2 majors, 1 TF-1.5)
- Penn State has the most wrestlers still in the championship bracket (6)
- Michigan has the most wrestlers still in the tournament (8)
- of the 40 remaining semifinalists, 18 hail from the Big 10 Conference
- of the 40 remaining semifinalists, 15 are former NCAA finalists (i.e., have placed top 2)
- of the 40 remaining semifinalists, only 8 have never been an All-American (Woods, Matthews, Clarke, Andonian, Lovett, Lewan, Monday, and Goffman)
- 3 of the semifinalists at 141 are first time All-Americans
- All 4 remaining 174lbers have placed 3rd or higher in past NCAA Championships, 3 of them being finalists, and the top 2-seeds being former NCAA Champions.

Will you two knock it the f*uck off with the politics. And no, I don't give a shit who started it.

Ok Rocky- how bout you watch your language, tough guy.

 

[NittanyChris]

So does Iowa finish 4th, 5th or 6th? 😃

 

[McScoreley]

Iowa's blood round draws look reasonable
Murin vs Millner
Marinelli vs Conigliaro
Kemerer vs O'Malley
Cassioppi vs Elam

 

[PAgeologist]

Any way you slice it, that's a free fall from bringing back 9/10 from last year's run for them. I do feel bad for Eierman and Kem. Injuries suck.

 

[nitlion6]

Willits did a whole lot of nothing in that match.

Gee, that is something new and different. The kid should have been DQed for stalling in his match against Carr.

 

[nitlion6]

Marinelli pulls off his annual choke. 0 time National Champion.

Zero time semi-finalist or finalist. He never initiated another offensive attack after the reversed TD.

 

[nitlion6]

the offseason should be f**

when they wake up and find out their recruiting isnt great

all they will have is SLee

Hell Spencer might even say this sucks and pick up his binder and come home.

 

[horraybeer]

Not true. Marinelli lost to Martinez in the SEMI-finals of the 18 championship.

 

[nitlion6]

They better call Hidlay for his backing up bs. He avoided Munoz for half the match

They aren't going to call him. A kid moves back and away for 6.5 minutes and no call,l from the clown squad. In the final 30 seconds the same clown will then stall warn the kid who was moving forward for 6.5 minutes as soon as the kid takes his second step backwards.

 

[nitlion6]

Not true. Marinelli lost to Martinez in the SEMI-finals of the 18 championship.

I stand corrected.
This does bring to mind a pondering. Is this what HR refers to as "closing the gap?"

He wrestles the edge and actually I do thing they call him. The whining on here is hilarious as if the whole world is against us. Did you not see the two Dean matches??? We got the benefit of the doubt big time. At least have some perspective.

 

[nitlion6]

Is Brady going to wrestle again after this session?

He took the mat with an anklet on.

AB just needs to be patient like he was with Romero. Get the 1st TD and then make Hidlay do some work

 

[CSauertiegPSU]

All of our semis matches are tough. It won't happen but it wouldn't be a total shocker if we went 0 for 6.

It would be absolutely flabbergasting to anyone who has watched college wrestling for the last decade.
