Wrestling 2023 NCAA Tournament Live Thread

[RB-Old]

Hidlay doing not much and getting beat made me smile.

He needs new shoes, the ones he has get stuck to the out of bounds line

 

[nitlion6]

Hendrickson had Cassioppi flat from the second he stepped over and it took the ref 6 (4 swipes and a couple) seconds to look to see if he was really pinned.

Getting one last Iowa bytch in there just made this session feel perfect.

 

[PSU Mike]

Oops

 

[tullfan68]

You're an idiot. He scored all the td's. I'd love to see you wrestle him. Lol. And yes...he's from my high school.

why doesn't he wrestle brooks??

 

[vamike]

I know its early to look ahead to '24 before before we celebrate tonight, but our 6 returning scorers have 104 pts which alone wins this year by 21.5 pts (and that spread will grow after our 5 and Woods' matches tonight).

 

[Ruby Tues]

Man, we get a full arrest call right after the first SVN/Bartlett matches. We get back to the station in time for me to hear the final 30 seconds of the third place bouts. Very proud of our boys!!!

Max got 7th yes?

 

[AgSurfer]

The fall got called there (Hendrickson) but that ref needed to worry less about counting swipes and more about checking whether Cass was flat.

Thought that too!

 

[BOSCO2]

Caught the end of the Hidlay-Romero match. It was 1-1 in regulation, of course. There's no circle big enough to contain those two.

 

[I.J.W.T.]

We are up 45 over Iowa

Yes!

I wonder if that hawk beat writer will change his signature after this weekend.

Lewan can suck the life and aggressiveness out of anybody.

does meatchicken even teach wrestling?

 

[nerfstate]

Perfect sessions are also WhatWeDo these days. Let's get one more tonight!!

 

[nittinsc]

Downey.

Was Downey heralded or heralding?

 

[mcpat]

5-0 this morning.

35-6 for the tourney thus far.

 

[JOESTROSSER]

Iowa loses Lee and Warner, right? Ayala will probably be the 125. Who they have at 197?

 

[nerfstate]

Judging by the graphic ESPN just used, they may be starting at 165 tonight. That would make Levi the main event!

 

[johnstownsteel]

Hendrickson is the real deal man!

No one has been pimpin that kid like Askren has. He's been high on him for a long time now.

 

[caliPSUfan]

They lose Murin too

 

[tullfan68]

Murin inspired this tournament, overcoming a disastrous seeding. Wrestled better than a 6th place finish but that's the breaks sometimes.

if that's where he placed then that's how good he wrestled!!SIMPLE

 

[mcpat]

Mat assignments for tonight:

RBY mat 1
Levi mat 1
Carter mat 1
Aaron mat 1
Greg mat 1

 

[Split shot]

Congrats Beau and Shane!! Top 3!

Van Ness had to beat 3,4 and 5 seeds to take it and was a minute away from finals..unreal run. He’ll be favorite next year unless Sasso has another year?

In my mind he will be favored even if Sasso has another year.

 

[johnstownsteel]

I wonder if that hawk beat writer will change his signature after this weekend.

"IT'S A SHITTY TIME TO BE A HAWK FAN..."

 

[Creek Side]

The Air Force has planes big enough for Wyatt Hendrickson? Guy is a monster,

I said the same thing to my son. 😆

Yeah, but it would be best to have 9, if not 10, scoring wrestlers for sure.

 

[mcpat]

I think we would all agreed that Big Tony is really, really good.

He has been tech’d and pinned in 2 of his last 3 matches.

Crazy the level of wrestling at this tournament.

 

[RealMicah]

 

[AgSurfer]

I said the same thing to my son. 😆

If you have ever stood underneath a B-52, you would know the answer to that.

 

[District four]

Sorry for the off topic question but is there a reason Spencer Lee's family hates Penn State? I have seen comments that seem to indicate that? Thanks from a casual wrestling fan.

Because we are winners

 

[nerfstate]

The Air Force has planes big enough for Wyatt Hendrickson? Guy is a monster, and he improved this year. Kerk's reversal and rideout all the more impressive in light of all of Hendrickson's other matches this weekend.

I said that last night--what plane does that guy get to go in? Probably not an F-18 . . .

 

[Diego Badman]

Judging by the graphic ESPN just used, they may be starting at 165 tonight. That would make Levi the main event!

I saw that and wondered the same. It would make more sense to finish at 149 with Yianni going for his 4th. If that is the case, then Levi would lead it off.

C-17

 

[BruceK-PSU83]

I would be SHOCKED if Fix were back and Vito I think would have to transfer because the Ivies don’t have grad student athletes

If Vito needs a transfer destination ...

 

[tullfan68]

Crickets on those that want Bartlett at 133.

nobody wants him there up to him!!LOL

 

[JOESTROSSER]

They lose Murin too

Ah, Thanks. Thought I was forgetting someone. So we graduate 23.5 and Iowa loses 34.5. And we're up 45. Wow. Buckeyes might replace Iowa next year.


Too early, LOL.

 

[nitlion6]

why doesn't he wrestle brooks??

He didn't really do much with Romero either.

 

[CJFisJoePaII]

This is just insane - PSU has a 45 point lead before the Championship Round - 5 finalists, two 3rd Place and a 7th Place for a total of 8 All-Americans. 6 of the 8 AAs return next year. Just insane.

 

[NoVaLion2]

I'm of two minds with respect to Spencer's mom. On the one hand destroying nearby objects when you lose is never a great look. I've worked alongside people who did things like that when things didn't go just so, and it's a bad place to be. I've made it a point to steer very clear of those people in my life.

On the other hand, it's an entirely human reaction to a huge disappointment and she suddenly became a meme. The social media reaction will outweigh any deserved criticism. So I feel bad for her, not for the moment she had, but for adverse and outsized publicity the moment has already generated. I hope she'll be able to laugh at it some day, but doubt that day is tomorrow.

Well said!

 

[JOESTROSSER]

nobody wants him there up to him!!LOL

Seems he's at his optimal weight. Looked strong and a really deep gas tank.
