I'm looking for RBY to kick it up a notch against Ragusin. Their match at the BJC was a little flat and unlike RBY.
Posted this in the session 1 thread, but makes more sense here.
Iowa and PSU are tied after session 1 at 63.5 points each. Minnesota is a distant 3rd at 51.5 points.
PSU has 7 wrestlers in semifinals and already qualified for NCAAs:
1 RBY vs 5 Ragusin
2 Bartlett vs 3 Hardy
2 Haines vs 3 Coleman
1 Starocci vs 4 O’Reilly
1 Brooks vs 4 Finesilver
1 Dean vs 5 Warner
2 Kervliet vs 3 Cassioppi
PSU also has three wrestlers in the 2nd round of consis; a win there qualifies each for NCAAs (and a loss there eliminates only Steen):
- 10 Steen vs 9 Medley
- 5 SVN vs 14 Reynolds
- 4 Facundo vs 11 South
Iowa has six wrestlers in the semis:
1 Lee vs 5 McKee
1 Woods vs 4 Shahar
4 Murin vs 1 Sasso
3 Kennedy vs 2 Amine
5 Warner vs 1 Dean
3 Cassioppi vs 2 Kerk
In the 2nd round consis, they have:
8 Teske vs 10 Lamont
5 Siebrecht vs 14 North
7 Brands vs 9 Maylor
5 Assad vs 11 Bates

133 is my favorite weight in this tourney. I’ve been high on Nagao all year and adopted him as my favorite non PSU wrestler. Can’t wait to see how he does against Mendez.
So catch and release instead. That was the point of the post.
Sorry, not sorry. You cannot blame Kerk with nearly 5 minutes of riding time when the dude gets one stall call. Pretty sure, this is nearly unprecedented. That is 100% on officiating. Stand them up, or stall the opponent out. This is nonsense.
This is different than what big 10 network was showing they had Iowa up nine after quarters
No, I am not kidding. Kerk turns far lesser competition frequently, I agree, but not so much higher ranked guys. Orndorf is the Pillsbury dough boy. If you can't turn him, then catch & release. Although I admire 5 min of RT, more than a minute doesn't get much without turns other than keeping an inferior wrestler somewhat in the match.
Terrible twos kicking in I bet. Chasing the kid around distracts from wrestling forums. Lol. Nice to see you turk. I saw you posted the other day had to double check
Not when one is going for a pin. This situation should have never happened. It never happens in Freestyle. It's exactly why riding has supposedly been addressed in folkstyle.
4:30pm Consi’s are only available on BTN+. BTN will be showing the Big 10 Women’s Basketball Semifinal between Iowa and Maryland.
It is not Kerk's job to stop stalling. That is the job of the official. It was disgraceful what was allowed. Furthermore, one stall call? Get real. Do we have rules, or do we not have rules? Orndoff was 265 in high school.
Wow, so much passion/dismay over our Heavyweight's 5th straight 8 or 9 pt MD over the same guy. Catch and release might have put more points on the board, but I bet anything Greg's mindset was "this time, I'm gonna turn this guy." He wasn't able to, but he took care of business and is on track. Next up, beating big Ton in one that really counts . . .
If you listened to the BTN+ feed with crowd noise and coach voices--perhaps with headphones--you may have heard the coach's orders: first, "go to feet;" second "two on one tilt." They are working on an improved variety of offense rather than what'll easily work.
And we all know how basketball goes on and on and on... lol
Ya. First semi is going on now. Hoping neither is close so the end of the game doesn’t last forever with fouls. Indiana is beating Ohio St 38-20 so hoping the blowout continues.
I know our chances are slim, but I'd like to begin the next session with the Steenroller paving the Michigan guy.
It's not dismay. It's about how this sport is being killed by pathetic refs and a media that hasn't a damn clue. This sport is desperate to grow, or else, it will be gone from the Olympics as well, once again.
This sport needs to market itself properly, and at this point, who is actually doing that? Every sport on TV promotes or highlights its best people. B1G did little of that today. They are clueless in this regard.
I'm not saying you're wrong, that Orndorff shoulda been dinged more there, anyway. But we're at the "survive and advance" phase in terms of competition. Greg bonused the guy he was supposed to bonus. Can't ask for all that much more. On to the next.
I feel like tourneys are always a mixed bag of good an less good examples of the sport. That McKee vs. Barnett match was fire.
It's funny. Wrestling fans focus on one boring match and proclaim doom.
Meanwhile, soccer fans think their sport should have more franchises than McDonald's.
Maybe so with the 7, but remember no one can win Nattys without 8…😜
Arguing about stalling is pointless, and aruging that the refs aren't calling it even more so. If refs called stalling the way so many fans seem to want it called, you'd all be annoyed that the refs are deciding matches arbitrarily and the outcome should be left up to the wrestlers.
guy can't get off the bottom don't blame the top guy!
And as someone who watches every Basho in Sumo, it is a fun, fast paced sport. Most matches last only a few seconds, while some can carry on for a few minutes. And for their size, they are agile, mobile and hostile. ;-)
Hakkeyoi!
Sorry. You guys live in the wrong time zone. 😂😂
Well, I don't want to talk about that ...
