Wrestling 2023 B1G Tournament

[McScoreley]

eh semantics i guess. no realistic hawk fan expected this team to challenge and they’ve performed well given who they have minus warner who seems out of gas at the end of a great career.

Honestly Spencer (and Woods) is the main reason I expect Iowa to contend. I do think it's frustrating for Spencer because he obviously wanted to finish with his guys on a contending team (not that he doesn't like the new crop but I mean Kemerer, Marinelli, ADS, those were the guys he was here with) I think that's truthfully part of the reason he decided eff it I'm going to show a little emotion this year.

Aaron knows how to bonus top 5 wrestlers. He should probably mentor Carter more on that nuance.

 

[zzs006]

This is absolutely the best AB and CStar have looked all season. Absolute beat downs. Romero could have easily been stalled out. 12-2 against a multiple time AA is pretty good

Brooks v Romero

• Beautiful ankle pick at edge by Aaron but Romero is out, no score
• Low single, this time for two. 2-0 Aaron.
• Romero E1, 2-1
• Brooks from bottom, up and out, 3-1.
• Brooks creates some level change chaos and scoots behind, 5-1 midway through the second.
• Romero kept it much closer at the BJC, Brooks is in complete control here.
• Romero from bottom to start the third, already down a lot of RT.
• E1 for Romero but RT point is locked. 7-2
• Brooks with another TD, up 9-2, now 11-2. Tack on a RT point and Brooks has a major. 3x champ and OW?
• (Apologies for losing track of the scoring here, I got distracted by food delivery)

The team really seems ON today. Hard to believe how prepared they always are. Keep it going.

Best Aaron’s looked all year! Romero quit in first and should be stalled out

Peaking too early?

 

[McScoreley]

This kind of reminds me of PK taking Aaron to the brink in a 3-2 match and then Aaron decided to show him at NWCA "it ain't that close"

 

[dbldoofus]

Peaking too early?

 

[zzs006]

Peaking too early?

That’s NOT what we do…

 

[phelpsp]

Don't care if he lost, Brooks is the best p4p wrestler in the country.

 

[johnstownsteel]

Peaking too early?

The field better hope so.

 

[Flying_Tiger]

Brooks wrestled with some attitude there, one of his best wins.

 

[I.J.W.T.]

Michigan and Ohio State kids smiling getting Aaron's autograph

 

[dsites52]

Wow. Aaron looks mean tonight!

And then he's all smiles, kissing hands and shaking babies afterwards.

 

[Aardvark86]

Well well well. Look who the highest scoring wrestler of the tourney is.

 

[LDandy]

I don’t think Romero has taken a single step forward this entire match

Imagine being in a match where everyone expects you to get beat so there should be no pressure on you. What would you do? If you are Romero you back pedal uncontrollably and take no shots. Seriously WTF did he have to lose in being aggressive?

 

[PSUbluTX]

Brooks is making Romero want to quit wrestling..... one stall at a time.
12-2 domination!

Broke him!!!

Romero took the mat knowing he had no shot and just hoping, apparently, to not embarrass himself. He failed to reach his goal. I can't remember a championship match at this level where a wrestler was so clearly in danger of being DQ'd.

 

[nitlion6]

Js since you're here trolling, that's Patrick Kennedy. He is what he is and with it being 3rd year in room, he's not getting much better. He will need the weight to clear out and hope the next great thing doesn't move in his Senior year or he's not winning a title. And unfortunately for him, Haines will probably be there at 165 his last 2 years.

Bookmark that one too...

You are good at this. Thata boy.

 

[PSUcup1]

That should be stalling when deliberately hit the gym floor

 

[PSUcup1]

Max was completely dominated there

 

[tikk10]

Max Dean v Silas Allred

• SIlas Allred sounds like a made up name by a sci-fi writer, but then Max Dean sounds like a mad up name by an spy-thriller writer
• Allred with a leg, Dean gets one too, scramble will result in a potentially dangerous stoppage
• Nice shot by the rangy Allred, who gets the two, Dean quickly up and out. 2-1 Allred at end of first.
• Dean starts from bottom to start the second, has some trouble getting out, restarts. He's out, :36 RT for Allred.
• Dean gets to a leg but Allred nice job on D.
• Allred shoots, switches to a double and converts. Dean up and out. 4-3.
• Allred chooses neutral to start third.
• Scramble at edge, but Dean can't convert.
• Dean with a double, but Allred easily fights off.
• Allred warned for stalling, dives for a leg, comes out from behind, 6-3 win.

 

[I.J.W.T.]

Max a bit sleepy there

 

[PAgeologist]

That should be stalling when deliberately hit the gym floor

I'd go straight to a penalty point.

 

[CSauertiegPSU]

Hmmmmmmn

 

[JOESTROSSER]

Max was completely dominated there

Yep, looked a bit slower tonight.

 

[mcruny42]

Max got picked a part on his feet. Got 2 weeks to adjust if they meet again. Dean likely 4 seed now?

 

[1AA]

Allred was just so aggressive. Nice match. 197 is crazy.

 

[I.J.W.T.]

D

Max was completely dominated there

Disagree.... he was one shot from a win

 

[Psugo823]

We will see him again in Tulsa...this was Max's first time against him.

 

[PAgeologist]

Allred is really good. Fun to watch.

 

[johnstownsteel]

Ok shewww.... we aren't peaking yet.

 

[zzs006]

Wow. Allred wrestled a great match. Max doesnt have great leg attacks and if he doesn’t get the chance to go on top this can happen

 

[Ruby Tues]

Very un Dean like, just seemed uninterested

 

[Shifty15]

Yep, looked a bit slower tonight.

Looked similar to his one of his other losses…walked into easy low singles. Two weeks to clean things up.

 

[LDandy]

Bummer. Allred out wrestled Max. Good match for The Husker. Max will be ready to compete in two weeks.

 

[PAgeologist]

Wow. Allred wrestled a great match. Max doesnt have great leg attacks and have he doesn’t get the chance to go on top this can happen

I was surprised how easy Allred took Max down.

 

[McScoreley]

This kind of reminds me of his match against Brucki last year. Brucki got 2 TDs to 0 for Max, Max 3 escapes. But Brucki foolishly chose bottom and got ridden out.

 

[CSauertiegPSU]

Max got picked a part on his feet. Got 2 weeks to adjust if they meet again. Dean likely 4 seed now?

Lower. He’ll be behind Nino, Beard, Sloan and Allred at least.

 

[Psugo823]

Blessing in disguise...4 seed now and if Max gets to semi he won't see Beard and will get Bonnacorsi who he might match up better with

 

[NittanyChris]

All credit to Allred. He took it to Dean. Good job.

 

[zzs006]

Let’s go Kerk. Finish this off right. I think Kerk wins and locks down the number 1 seed
