2024 Big Ten Tournament match, PBP, and discussion thread

When Beau took a shot against Woods is surprised the hell out of him. He did the same thing to Hardy and it worked. He just needs to trust himself because that style doesn't win at Nationals.

Pretty evenly matched, but the problem was that Beau had absolutely zero offense. Beau deserved to lose that match - I don't think he made a single real offensive attack. Showed great defensive skills, but a bit pathetic that he didn't make a single real offensive attack - not sure what he's thinking, but you shouldn't be looking to win a match 1-0 or on TB Riding-Time Adv. You have to score to win and Beau seemed utterly oblivious to that.
 
As a side question, isn’t placing your foot on the floor to go OB like McKee did the definition of stalling? Serious question.
I believe it can be called as fleeing the mat in HS. Not sure about college. I think it’s largely at the officials discretion overall
 
The Gomez Lovett match was fun stuff. Incredible that Lovett was able to fend that last shot off, Gomez had both legs. And even more incredible Lovett didn't get scored on after losing that upper body fight.
 
Geez, thought maybe Kasak and Miller went outside the cylinder just before the mat return and pin.
 
I’m good with the loss now and the undefeated monkey off the back of a wrestler that plays it too close too often. Mendez deserved that one and Beau has something to learn from there. I’ll take Beau in the next one!

I'm not good with that kind of wrestling - it's lame. Mendez deserved that win - love Beau, but he did absolutely nothing and probably should have given up multiple stall calls and stalling points.

He's not winning in a couple weeks if he wrestles like that... he needs to be lightyears more aggressive if he wants to win a National Championship.
