Wrestling 2023 B1G Tournament

I think if we win a min of 3/6 finals that should do it, being very generous with the Iowa wins and bonus points.
That's the whole point of coaching. I'm sure Cael was observant enough to know what he was getting and what needed to change. The kids a freshman he will get better
This is correct. Warner gets 2 for the MFF and 1 for finishing 7th instead of 8th since Caffey is not wrestling. The closest we will get is after Spencer wins at 125. If he pins Cronin it will be 6 points and put us at 128.5. After that, you guys pull away.
Reposting from Session 3 thread:
So running the math, Iowa is at 119.5 to our 129
Iowa has Murin, Warner, Nelson, Cassioppi. Warner is expected to receive a MFF so that brings them to 122.5.
Let's say Murin and Nelson wins by decision and Cassioppi pins (he's done it twice) They're at 127.5. This is assuming no more medical forfeits.
Let's say worse case scenario for our 3/4, Bartlett loses as well and obviously Van Ness does if I gave Murin the win. We stay at 129.
Spencer let's obviously give him a pin. That pin puts them ahead by .5 before considering champ points (+4). So basically if him and Woods win (Woods by decision), we need 3 finalists out of 6 to win assuming Kennedy loses. If Kennedy wins, we need a 4th.
So team race not totally over but yeah ... looks pretty good. Also, if Bartlett just wins against D'Emilio (or obviously if Van Ness wins), we'll finish ahead of Iowa with 2 champs to their 2. Once again, I'm giving Cass a pin.
Can someone run Nebraska's numbers? they are at 98.5, so they don't seem to be a factor to win BUT they face us in 3 finals and are Iowa's best friends right now.
If you take out injury defaults and MFFs:
Iowa has 23 wins of which 9 were by bonus. PSU has 20 wins, of which 8 were by bonus.
Iowa’s 9 bonus wins produced 13 bonus points. PSU’s 8 bonus wins produced 8.5 bonus points. (Translation: Iowa’s bonus wins include more falls and tech falls than PSU.)
Iowa has collected an additional 8 bonus points by Inj Def and MFF. PSU has collected 2 additional bonus points that way.

Little different from PSU since Shayne was up 13-4 and on his way to a tech but it was a net one at best.
The way Assad has been wrestling, I doubt he beats Layne, let alone by pin. Warner wouldn't have pinned Caffey, Murin wouldn't have pinned Yahya (I think he beats him though), I'll give that he could have pinned Peyton Omania though since he's done that before.
It's been a net 6 free points for Iowa, 7 once you count the win for Assad as well.
Wow Cronin wrestled tough. Nice match. He pushed lee just couldn't get the shot
No bonus for Iowa at 125 in final. Hey @js8793 and @jmadden1998: Why rack up all that riding time instead of cutting for the TD and going for bonus points? 
No bonus from Lee. Way to go Cronin!
Unimpressive by Spencer “The Gasser” Lee.
Although, I gotta say that even when gassed, his defense is pretty great.

I couldn't believe what I was watching Cronin goes from getting pinned in 38 seconds to less then a major. Nice showing by that kid
Rare footage of Spencer Lee in the third period. He definitely gets a bit wobbly when the match goes that deep. Cronin is solid but not talented enough to capitalize on it. Still very unlikely, but if anyone can beat him at NCAAs, it'll be because they caught him gassed in the third.
Spencer didn’t look right in the third. Maybe he was gassed since he never has to wrestle three periods, but I really hope he’s not hurt again.
What’s wrong with the 3rd place match cam on big ten plus?
Seems fixed. It had been showing all three mats from a distance.

I said it, a lot of wrestlers come out with the Piccininni plan and try to catch him early but Spencer in the 1st has enough energy (and obviously strength) to roll out and even if you go up 8-1 like Ramos, it's irrelevant since he can erase that in 20 seconds. You have to get him to the third then catch him when he has no gas to fight out.
