2024 NCAA's - Day 1 - Match/discussion thread

[Hotshoe]

Well, there went my darkhorse.

He didn't even look like himself.

 

[McScoreley]

Hammers going to hammer, Levi 17-2 tech

 

[NitInVA]

LewYawn with a crafty takedown 😴

 

[ChinWhip]

Certainly not good

 

[a_mshaffer]

Doesn't have the neutral game he needs. Unfortunate for him. He's getting crushed.

needs a better shot to his right... everyone taking their right leg away...

 

[Psubiomed]

Levi came to wrestle at least

 

[zzs006]

At least now we will start getting some bonus point wins. Levi starts it off and I see a bunch of guys following him

 

[Fatmarc]

Yea, but his Will Lewan schtick is getting old!

I feel like his defense is elite; he's such a good counter wrestler- he's been scouted to death that coaches know that's what he's looking for-- he's not normally gonna generate offense, but he can... fun to watch, but not good for the ticker, but damn survive and advance...

 

[Dogwelder]

Good Lord. We need to stop this ridiculous hand fighting for 2 full periods.

Call me a conspiracy nut, but I want to check the security-camera footage to see if Tom Brands has been secretly coaching our wrestlers and making Nagao hate wrestling.

 

[Pennstate1985]

I think some of the new guys are feeling the nerves of Nationals. They'll settle down but a couple have put themselves behind the 8 ball.

 

[Hotshoe]

I guess Freshman are gonna Freshman from time to time.

 

[Psubiomed]

Sorry but 8-2 for this team sucks. Lost to two 25 seeds. Pathetic.

I get Nagao, I don't get Kasak.

 

[McScoreley]

Kasak's path back
Drew Roberts
Fernandez/Swiderski loser
Rooks/Solomon or Munson/Bond loser
Arrington/Gomez loser

Not easy

 

[Psubiomed]

I guess Freshman are gonna Freshman from time to time.

No, that stunk

 

[zzs006]

Kasak will see Drew Roberts from Minnesota next. If he wins he will get the loser of Fernandez from Cornell or Swiderski from Iowa State

 

[Hotshoe]

Also, we look kinda flat.

 

[Flying_Tiger]

Did he?

A bit of hyperbole perhaps, but you have to give some credit to the Virginia guy, he wrestled well.

I suspect his coaches came up with a nice gameplan based on the video of the some of the others guys that had success against Aaron.

Despite all the negativity over that match, still hopeful Nagao can put together a nice run on the back and/or score some bonus.

 

[KidDagger]

I get Nagao, I don't get Kasak.

Nagao main strength has been his top wrestling.. knew the new 3pt takedown rule would hurt him this year..

 

[Waxman1607]

Sorry but 8-2 for this team sucks. Lost to two 25 seeds. Pathetic.

Putting down your own wrestlers??

 

[Bob_Anderson]

I'm more concerned about Davis' hand/finger than the outcomes at 133/149.

 

[WEAREPSU_LI]

Selfishly, I need Carter to look like Carter for me to relax a bit.

 

[ccdiver]

We really need Tournament Bernie to show up today.

 

[1AA]

Levi looking good. Kasak have to regroup and find a way damnit.

 

[a_mshaffer]

Doesn't have the neutral game he needs. Unfortunate for him. He's getting crushed.

[zzs006]

I’m interested in this Joey Blaze vs Franek match. Blaze has had some big wins this year. Franek beat him at Big 10’s I believe but Blaze is good

 

[Hotshoe]

My goodness, Shapiro with a beautiful pin on the edge.

 

[Hotshoe]

Putting down your own wrestlers??

Some folks really don't get, sh&t happens. It's why they actually wrestle matches.

 

[a_mshaffer]

Aaron - wasn't in the match.. hats off to the Va guy. Beau - let it be close and bad things can happen (unlucky). Tyler - had it... was a good Abas ankle pick to get that td. POs me that if Abas was winning in the 1st period he would have been hit with a stall... tyler stalked the entire time. But there you go again - bad luck - going OB or not breaking the grip around his leg - bet he wishes he had that to do over again...

 

[jsn4388]

We may never know what injury Nagao had over the summer that was to threaten this whole season, but he has not looked like the guy that threatened RBY last year. Maybe it's weight cut or a lingering injury but he has not impressed much of the year. Maybe we see a different guy next year but this kind of performance was a shocker.

This was my concerned when he wrestled Fix last year when I said Nagao got DOMINATED. But some had to refute my concern. But whatever...

 

[WEAREPSU_LI]

My goodness, Shapiro with a beautiful pin on the edge.

He's very good. He can gas though. Will be interesting to see him in quarters and on.

 

[Psubiomed]

Get off the board you came here to troll. Try commenting on the wrestling and not me.

 

[zzs006]

Peyton Kellar from Ohio University (who I wrestled for) has had a great year. Win the MAC and only has 2 losses on the year. Not great competition but good enough to get the 7 seed. Winning by 1 with a minute left

 

[WEAREPSU_LI]

Chittum down 6 in third. Down 9!

 

[Hotshoe]

I'm more concerned about Davis' hand/finger than the outcomes at 133/149.

Definitely thumb. It's why he needed help with his headgear.

 

[zzs006]

Chittum getting hammered. Didn’t see that coming. 13-4 with :30 to go. Ends 17-6! Wow

 

[Agoodnap]

Forget the record

As predicted, Guns is in full panic mode during the 1st session. Who predicted this?

 

[RB-Old]

I don't get why Kasak spent the first 30 seconds of the last period riding him. He didn't leave any margin for error when you factor in the ref wouldn't blow the whistle for a stalemate and how much Abas was going to stall at the end.

 

[Hotshoe]

Aaron - wasn't in the match.. hats off to the Va guy. Beau - let it be close and bad things can happen (unlucky). Tyler - had it... was a good Abas ankle pick to get that td. POs me that if Abas was winning in the 1st period he would have been hit with a stall... tyler stalked the entire time.

He should have let him go immediately. Wasted a ton of time on top doing nothing.

 

[zzs006]

Blaze and Franek going to OT
