Wrestling 2023 NCAA Tournament Live Thread

Feel like something clicked for SVN this weekend. I think being down actually helped him. He got back to the reckless abandon style from high school. He might never be a defensive wizard, but that’s okay. He can make up for it with pace and offense.

Bummed we don’t get another Murin match. Both had great tournaments.

SVN is going to be the eternal subject of the “Someone call an ambulance…but not for me!” meme.

You better deck him, because he’s going to keep coming. And you might fall over.

I said earlier in tourney it looked like a freshman finding his confidence.

Was hoping for SVN/Murin 4. I can't believe how Brands has been doing.

He reminds me very much of the freshman version of Nick Lee

Weird how Griffith gets dinged for stalling by stepping out of bounds but Amine carries Griffith backwards out of bounds but that's not. W

I was amazed by how much bigger Griffith looked than Amine. They stood next to each other and the top of Amine's head aligned with Griffith's chin.

is there a thread for the Beau haters from last year to go to this year for verbal flogging?

It can then be pinned there in anticipation of the one needed for Facundo 2024

Sat down at table at Buffalo Wild Wings, we are probably 5-6 miles from arena, a lady (30s/40s??) and a grandmotherly lady sit down next to us. Younger gal wearing Penn State beanie. I strike up a conversation: “you ladies went to wrestling tonight?” Grandma: “oh yes, what fun!” Her husband joins us Penn State hat on: “you guys Penn State fans?” Grandma says “I’m Carter’s grandmother. His dad will be right in.”

Let me tell you, these mfs were as Salt of the earth as it gets. His dad would fit right in here, which is probably why he isn’t here. Some fun stuff:

First thing he said is it is unbelievable how many different people involved with the program make it work and how much he is saying “thank you.”

TnT never called. They were not dynamite.

OSU visit was Ryan giving a hell of a tour of the under-construction Covelli center. Not a whole lot of asking what Carter was looking for.

First time they met Cael, Cael asked Carter how long Carter has been a PSU wrestling fan. Carter said he really wasn’t. Cael asked him who he did like, Carter said he kind of liked OSU football.

Foca hit a pederson roll on Carter at the end of the match when they were 9 and Carter was saved by the bell. Carter learned to ride Foca after that.

Stories of Casey riding guys for an hour at a time are very true. Carter called and told his dad it happened to him and how he was real pissed off about it. Then a few weeks later Carter’s dad heard the podcast where Ed Ruth told the same story.

Carter did an interview, I think with Flo, and mentioned his dad getting hot in the stands at IOWA. Carter gave PG, his dad gave R. LMFAO.

Grandma and Grandpap are over the moon. First time going to NCAA. Grandma asked for my phone number. Said if there are seats available tonight she will let me know and I can sit with them front row.

I sat next to them at Big Tens. They were a joy to visit with for 2 days

Does anybody have an update on where Cassiopi stands in the all-time pin rankings? Does he have the record yet?

The ref was Angel Rivera. Shocked that a 2nd stall wasn't called like he did to RBY
2 years ago.

There are a few big differences in those two matches. For one thing it's not on prime-time so Rivera wouldn't have got near the attention he did in 2021 and of course John Smith wasn't helping him ref today.
