Wrestling 2023 NCAA Tournament Live Thread: Session II

I hope PSU Paul isn't close to Warner's Mom.

Many states away!

Ha, how quaint. You think the ref would've changed the call.

they are using a review booth, so it is not the mat officials doing the review

 

[Flying_Tiger]

I think Warner is going to have a hard time on the back side. Took that loss hard and was already suffering from HEW.

 

[okinburg1]

Kerk seems to be on a bit of a mission in Tulsa

 

[sneedram55]

Greg going cradle happy so far. Love it. Looks like a man on a mission.

 

[nitlion6]

Was that slam illegal on Davison?

Not in college. In HS the ref would have fainted.

 

[CSauertiegPSU]

Kerk has gosh dang condor arms.

 

[El-Jefe]

One match at a time obviously but Smith is no joke

Transitive property being what it is, but Dean is career 18-2 vs common opponents, Smith 7-7.

This year: Dean 7-1, Smith 5-4.

This seems like an advantage.

 

[JOESTROSSER]

WOuld love a TF or fall by Kerk

 

[86PSUPaul]

WOuld love a TF or fall by Kerk

I would love the points, but since it is a Nevills it almost seems wrong somehow….

 

[nitlion6]

I think Warner is going to have a hard time on the back side. He looks like a guy suffering from HEW.

I thought he might find his interest, but nope. I have a tough time imagining him finding his "I give a shit" now.

 

[BruceK-PSU83]

His complete inability to ride even an ounce is my biggest concern

If Facundo was dynamic from neutral, the lack of riding could be a weakness that wouldn't hurt him much. But for someone who struggles to score, it's a real issue. It's clearly one reason why Facundo prefers freestyle.

 

[js8793]

I don’t think Max has the HEW but maybe an omicron variant. Achieved his goal last year. Sixth-gear guy. Not really in a team race. Would be understandable.

@johnstownsteel was right. the 6th year guys seem to struggle more often than not

 

[NittanyChris]

Kerk in full BEAST mode.

 

[nitlion6]

Don't know what happened in past 6 weeks, but Facundo needs some offseason fixing. The talent is there. A mental reset probably isn't a bad idea.

 

[okinburg1]

Kirk final yet? Score?

 

[mcruny42]

Kerk needs to try for a quick turn and if its not there should go for the Tech...

 

[Grass]

I won’t ask what they were thinking there.

 

[86PSUPaul]

Kirk final yet? Score?

14-2, I think, only a major

 

[Foreverinbluejeans57]

Jay Aeillo has been avenged

Won’t take the natty title off the wall, much more than most of the recent Iowa heros

 

[5q]

With a minute to go in the 3rd why didn’t the coaches have Kerk up and play a few take downs and escapes for a TF?

 

[JOESTROSSER]

Damn, Cassioppi got the MD

 

[okinburg1]

14-2, I think, only a major

TY

 

[mcruny42]

Tough day for Alex and Max, but overall a pretty nice day. Tomorrow morning will be huge, already cannot wait.

 

[dbldoofus]

Does that Harvard HWT look like a taller, heavier Brands brother?
Maybe not so much. Only from a certain angle. And with his mouth shut, it's hard to tell

 

[CSauertiegPSU]

Kerk is gonna maul Slavikouski if he survives Hillger

 

[zzs006]

So Max will get Gavin Hoffman next

 

[js8793]

Kerk is gonna maul Slavikouski if he survives Hillger

He's gonna maul everybody not named Mason Parris

 

[CSauertiegPSU]

Kerk is gonna maul Slavikouski if he survives Hillger

He did not survive Hillger

 

[nittinsc]

Kerk is gonna maul Slavikouski if he survives Hillger

Hillger wins 1-0

 

[zzs006]

Leave the board. Someone with an opinion different than yours hurt your feelings. You're an idiot.

Another poster coming out of nowhere to spew nonsense. He didn’t hurt my feelings. He’s just an idiot. Go defend your friend elsewhere

 

[Petch]

Weren’t you home schooled?

So do you know my sister?

 

[CSauertiegPSU]

Man, how the heck have Elam and Hendrickson never wrestled one another

 

[johnstownsteel]

Really looking forward to Cole Matthews vs Levi Haines. I really think Haines can beat him.

Huh

 

[CSauertiegPSU]

Really looking forward to Cole Matthews vs Levi Haines. I really think Haines can beat him.

Wut

 

[zzs006]

Really looking forward to Cole Matthews vs Levi Haines. I really think Haines can beat him.

Matthews has Bartlett. Haines has Andonian

 

[RealMicah]

Great first day of wrestling. SVN is the wrestler of the day imo

 

[El-Jefe]

Really looking forward to Cole Matthews vs Levi Haines. I really think Haines can beat him.

Matthews isn't overcoming that 16-lb weight difference.

Maybe you meant Bartlett?

 

[BruceK-PSU83]

Our new troll has said he can’t and won’t improve….

Okay, you got me on that one. Poorly worded post on my part.

 

[OzarkLion]

Really looking forward to Cole Matthews vs Levi Haines. I really think Haines can beat him.

He should... he's got 16 lbs on him! I kid, I think you mean Bartlett and Matthews, or Haines/Andonian (this match is going to be awesome!)

 

[jqforster]

Matthews isn't overcoming that 16-lb weight difference.

Maybe you meant Bartlett?

Yeah I meant Bartlett lol.
