Wrestling 2023 NCAA Tournament Live Thread

we should bully facundo off the team. I'd rather watch literally anyone else.

 

[dsites52]

I don't think it matters. Alex has mostly looked pedestrian for the past month. I was hoping R12 but may just go 0-2.

my least favorite type of barbeque...

 

[82bordeaux]

You all are acting like you’re auditioning for HR. Relax. The kid is very good. He took a tough loss against a kid with some elite defense. He’ll learn from all of this.

 

[OzarkLion]

Fish put Ramirez on his back! Up 6-3

 

[Franklinstheman]

Gotta start evaluating all your options at 65 going forward

You mean like giving up on a redshirt freshman who just lost to a 5th yr senior? Tough loss I hear ya

 

[CSauertiegPSU]

Bad cut for Ramirez?

 

[zzs006]

Such a huge loss for Alex especially with Ramirez losing!! He had a great path to the quarterfinals and now he might go 0-2

 

[JOESTROSSER]

Alex missed a golden opportunity with Fish's upset of Ramirez. As we know Alex beat Fish earlier this year.

 

[McScoreley]

Let us not forget, Alex does have some good wins this year: Olguin, Amine, Kharchla (though controversial obviously), Braunagel. The kid has the ability. Heavy favorites are dropping like fly this tournament and the sky is falling because our yes offensively weak freshman lost? It is what it is.

I hope he wrestles like he's playing with house money on the backside now.

I mean, you could watch the last 50 matches of his career. It’s not giving up, it’s evaluating. You would like to see *some* sort of progression.

Horrible take

A bit early for that IMO…

He isn't good. Don't piss on us and tell us it's raining. He has zero positional and situational awareness.

Glad we didn’t do that with Nick Lee after his first NCAA Tournament match.

 

[82bordeaux]

Bad cut for Ramirez?

Nope. They need to reevaluate their needs at 165 in Ithaca.

 

[tullfan68]

Again, Facundo has trouble finishing his shots and finding any offense. Seems like a combination of technique and lack of horsepower?

all he has to do is watch Haines finish then do it!

 

[zzs006]

CStar on mat 7

 

[sneedram55]

Ramirez loses to Fish. So down goes the 4 seed at 165.

 

[mcpat]

That means Facundo gets Ramirez in first round of wrestle backs

 

[zzs006]

Starocci with the quick fall! Get those bonus

 

[82bordeaux]

He isn't good. Don't piss on us and tell us it's raining. He has zero positional and situational awareness.

Fan of the year. I guess we’ll hear your expertise again next March.

 

[tullfan68]

Alex might get beat out by his own high school teammate!

 

[AndEEss]

FALL for Starocci.

 

[CJFisJoePaII]

Starrocci pin in 1st.

 

[donboy6499]

No no. Any loss by a RS Freshman to a 5th year Senior is to be expected.

 

[ggcpsu]

Glad we didn’t do that with Nick Lee after his first NCAA Tournament match.

not even close to the same lol, Lee was a True freshman and had clearly progressed and showed big offensive potential. Stop.

 

[zzs006]

You are an idiot

 

[pish69]

Stallroci stalled himself to a quick fall..

 

[tullfan68]

we should bully facundo off the team. I'd rather watch literally anyone else.

well he is still just a freshman!

 

[CSauertiegPSU]

Nope. They need to reevaluate their needs at 165 in Ithaca.

I too can play a fun game of ignoring larger context if that’s what we want to do?

 

[McScoreley]

Glad we didn’t do that with Nick Lee after his first NCAA Tournament match.

If Facundo comes back and places 5th, I'm sure @CSauertiegPSU will revoke his statement

 

[dsites52]

Bloom and American have both been eliminated from the team title

 

[ggcpsu]

nice to see carter aggressive from top

If Facundo comes back and places 5th, I'm sure @CSauertiegPSU will revoke his statement

ok lol.

 

[johnstownsteel]

No no. Any loss by a RS Freshman to a 5th year Senior is to be expected.

I wasn’t expecting it.

 

[LHavenlion]

not even close to the same lol, Lee was a True freshman and had clearly progressed and showed big offensive potential. Stop.

You okay bro?

 

[js8793]

It seemed as though AF regressed as the season evolved…perplexing

He was winning all the coin flips early. He's losing them all now. Live by the sword, die by the sword

 

[Cstroke]

Lol I almost forgot about the doom and gloomers...
Welcome back fellas..
Some of that going on here, so why don't you take your traveling circus there and help them next..

Brooks in the hole mat 3

 

[eddy line]

Stallroci stalled himself to a quick fall..

I’m not a fan of some of his Twitter stuff, but, man, his intensity is something.

 

[CJFisJoePaII]

Brooks 2nd on deck on Mat 3.
