Go to your offense Brady! You can do it!

Brady is having a BB match. No offense, can't get out from bottom.
 
I don’t think it’s been discussed yet, but he was up 14-0 with a riding time point locked and he was dominating on top. I thought “Great, ride and try to turn for the late pin and get the tech with the RT point if you can’t turn and just ride out.” He cut him and I thought well there goes the shot at a pin and then he gets taken down and loses the tech too. What was he thinking with that? Hope the 1/2 point isn’t a big deal down the line. The tech was all but secured before he cut him.
 
Tough result for Brady. That guy stalled so much, but Brady did not push the action nearly enough. He heads to the backside a match earlier than anticipated, but plenty of tournament left.
 
Kid from UNI did nothing but hang on an ankle for better part of 4 minutes
The problem with the officiating is that the Oregon State kid did less than AB did in the B10 Finals and I don't think he's dinging another stalling in a million years.
 
I remember when we had a bunch of rototillers in the lineup. Now made up of more tomato stakes.😟

I sound like a broken record, but for both BB's. How do they not get more offensive earlier. It is THE GLARING THING that both of them do really poorly. Also they can't get off bottom.
 
Dodged a bullet there; If Brady had been seeded higher, it would've been an even BIGGER "upset."

Brady and Drew looked like they had been on Spring Break the last two weeks. They both had zero offense.
They look exactly like those January matches where we train through…no energy. Lee also looked gassed at the end.
 
how exactly was that not a stall on willits? the ref counted to 4 for willits riding below the waist, berge kicked out, then willits jumped back on for another 4 count. so effectively willits rode for 9 seconds without being above the waist. what am i missing? if it's all riding time then it should all count for below the waist time, right?
 
Can't speak for Nick, but there didn't seem to be any reason to think he couldn't take him down easily take him down quickly to end the match. He had done so with no problem at all so far. Why not end the match early and conserve some energy?

Obviously it didn't work out that way.
 
Maybe my memory is failing me but I don't recall us wrestling this many 0-0 1st period scores in the past.
 
Berge had the escape early in the period, relaxed for a split second thinking it was going to be uncontested, and got ridden out. Disappointing but not unexpected.

Riding the legs 8 out of every 10 seconds is bs but Brady, Hilde and Beau all came not to wrestle. When will guys realize that it's better to be losing by 1 in the first period than it is to be losing by 1 with 3 seconds left?

What a match between Jacques and Lewan! Both with :25 riding time in rideout periods. Into 2nd OT.

Lewan survives. Big 10 is looking rough to start.
