Wrestling 2023 NCAA Tournament Live Thread

Levi brings me so much joy.

 

[Aardvark86]

Again, you have to realize shes invested what, 15+ years in Spencer's development, hell they moved their entire life to support him. I have no issues with her reaction.

When you put it that way …

I don’t exactly feel more sympathetic.

 

[tullfan68]

Levi = guts and determination!!

 

[mcruny42]

You don't have to feel sympathetic, just trying to contextualize her reaction

 

[TheButcher2]

Who won the Ruth/Brands match?

Here's something to watch during 165.

Can we link that up with JBs call?

Lmao

And post it on HR cuz they love JB.

 

[JOESTROSSER]

Levi = guts and determination!!

He never gets rattled. Amazing for such a young wrestler

 

[RealMicah]

Levi is a beast. No controversy this time.

 

[Pitchfork Rebel]

Pat Glory say THANK YOU!

Yianni has shown himself to be a bit of a tool before.

I'll be rooting for Sasso.

Who won the Ruth/Brands match?

Brands....

Her son lost. That doesn’t need a lot of context.

Coming into this tournament I felt like O’Connor was the one guy who could beat Levi. He’s absolutely good enough but after watching Levi these past 2 days I’m picking him to win without any reservations. His composure, fundamentals, baseline defense, absolutely insane body awareness, and the ice water flowing through his veins make him the favorite in my eyes. This is one of the most impressive true freshman seasons I’ve seen in quite awhile

McGhee panicked. Bad shot. That RBY can’t show up tomorrow or Vito mops him. Thankfully I don’t think he will.

wrong. that was a great match - the hunter brought it all. Vito isn't that quick - rby will handle him like Gilman does

 

[District four]

He is Nolf 2.0 I'm telling you

"They'll come back to earth when Levi Haines graduates..."

-HR

By that time M2 will have sent another 8 kids of similar skills.

Dean on deck Mat 1

 

[RB-Old]

I just realized the PSU lineup has four semifinalists in the first half and only three in the back half. It's almost like they can coach up guys at any weight.

 

[WreslingFan0314]

I think probably a ton of parents have reacted to their kids losses and usually the camera man has enough sense and compassion to not film it on live tv.

Not only is that not the case here, but they keep showing it. Just saw it again coming out of the break before the 165 lb matches

 

[donboy6499]

Lee's mom needs to understand how mothers of Spencer's opponents had to endure watching their son's experience the same heartbreak, yet manage to not act like a complete fool.

That was mom?

Had the volume down and figured the Brands Bros had a triplet sister.

 

[PAgeologist]

You don't say?

To quote Jim Gibbons.

No shit.

 

[SWPA]

I absolutely love you Levi Haines!!!!

Alright already you broken record!

Seriously good wrestler though!

 

[District four]

Love how Burroughs threw a shout out to M2 and DT. Bet DT is so proud of this kid

 

[a_mshaffer]

Ref looked stunned it was over turned.

i think they reviewed the wrong clip !

 

[eddy line]

He is Nolf 2.0 I'm telling you

From your lips to God’s ears.

 

[nitlion6]

Who else believe O'Toole tools Amine.

 

[mcpat]

Not only is that not the case here, but they keep showing it. Just saw it again coming out of the break before the 165 lb matches

Yeah - I saw it. I feel bad for her.

 

[BruceK-PSU83]

No. Showing gut wrenching emotion she simply showed she is human.

I can agree, but it's still a wonderful visual.

 

[zzs006]

O’Toole is praying that Monday wins. Think he matches up better with him than Carr

 

[zzs006]

Good job Warner. 1-0 over Allred. Allred doesn’t AA and if Max wins he does

 

[nittinsc]

Warner beat Allred 1-0

 

[zzs006]

Dean up on mat 1

 

[nitlion6]

Love how Burroughs threw a shout out to M2 and DT. Bet DT is so proud of this kid

Some sort of tweet thing where DT mentions tears in his eyes after this afternoon's pin tells me you are probably right.

Damn… Van Ness was so close. Credit to Yianni for keeping his composure and finding a way to win

It doesn't seem to be his nature to back up and avoid contact.

 

[johnstownsteel]

The guys on Flolive have been saying for months Monday was dumb to go 165. Maybe he wasn't so dumb.

 

[pipe999]

Not 1, but 2 threads on HR on firing Brands...gotta love it.

 

[Ski]

Robb is a class act.

I'll bet his Mom is too. Those things often go together.

 

[CSauertiegPSU]

Hah! Warner beat Allred. Good for him, man

 

[Aardvark86]

Any chance we could get a shot of crying amines?

 

[zzs006]

I thought Carr was dead to rights. Good defense

 

[Brian LB-U]

DUDE!!! LEVI!!! DT, the gift that keeps on giving!

Nice callout for M2 and Magic Man by Borroughs on the broadcast. 😀
