Wrestling 2023 NCAA Tournament Live Thread: Session III

If that Spencer Lee gets taken down in Freestyle, he will get gutted out of the building by top guys
 
Ramos/Cardinale with an incredible finish! Cardinale with a TD with about 20 seconds left to go up 1 and Ramos with a reversal with a second left!
 
Amazing scramble in the Ramos-Cardinale match at the end. Ramos gets the very late reversal to win by a point. Wow.
 
Lee wanted neutral and Brands told him to go down. Dumb decision. Should actually go top and end it.
@smalls103 has been ranting about this very topic (in general, not Lee) for years.

If you have a clear advantage on top -- at least relative, if not absolute -- why not use it?

But how many guys in recent years, other than Lizak, actually do?

They aren’t seriously waiting for two condo matches to finish to start next weight right.
 
1 RBY vs 8 Nagao
QF

Nadao immediately in on a single. Gets RBY leg in air. RBY able to fight to a potentially dangerous stoppage. Not much action after that. 1:30 to go. RBY with a couple shots in last minute. 0-0 after one.

Nagao chooses bottom. To his feet but a mat return. Has RBY’s leg but RBY clears and flattens him out. Over a minute now. Had to go legs and hit with stalling. Restart. Caution Nagao. Nagao with a ton of movement but RBY sticks. Half nelson was close to swipes. Rideout. 0-0.

RBY chooses bottom. Caution Nagao. Double boots. Reversal! At 43 secs! 1;17 left I mean. 2-0. Escape Nagao at 52 to go. RT 1:39. 2-1. Riding locked. Caution Nagao on restart is a point for RBY. 4-1 RBY wins! On to the semifinals! Nagao is the real deal.
