2024 NCAA's - Match/discussion threads (merged)

I don’t care what happened for 6:52. You can’t run away for 8 seconds and not get called. Backup a bit? Okay. But you can’t run away. Not for 8 seconds.
Cael and Casey should’ve stripped down to their underwear to complain!

Figs probably locked hands momentarily but davis has to just wrestle.
I also thought Davis should have been called for locked hands when he gave up the reversal. He went to a chestlock to defend the double and locked it before Figs came off his knee and held it during the role through as well. He's still in control at that point. Ref and ASU coaches missed it.

Problem is they know no ref will call stalling there to affect a match. They would have hit him if the score was 3-1 since it wouldn't matter. Jones was crying about the fleeing the mat stall call seconds earlier, so they really weren't going to call a second one there.
 
Figs did lock hands twice.

Breadon was complaining to the ref instead of wrestling on bottom and neutral, freshmen mistake he will learn.
There was definitely one, didn’t see the other 100%. But they were facing away from the coaches, which I’m guessing is the reason there wasn’t a brick.

Irregardless, you can’t leave it in the hands of the refs. Calls get missed, overturned, etc. If he gets the takedown we aren’t having this discussion. He’s a true freshman and will definitely learn.

Come back to get 3rd kid!

When the dust settled, the 4 semifinalists at 125 ultimately did end up being people who everyone thought would be a factor coming into this year. Ayala, Barnett, Noto, Figs.

That's it, you can win a lot of matches by doing that but you can't win titles. Sooner or later you're going to slip or make a small error and get burned. Davis was also stupid for crying to the ref for locked hands instead of trying to get out.
He also was purposely dropping his knee to try to get that call. Refs aren't going to reward that unless it's locked beyond reaction time.
 
Moving on as I get my emotions get back under control…

Davis will have the winner of 5 Volk and 14 Provo in the blood round. Win that and he’s an AA. Then it’ll be Stanich/Ramos winner (assuming Stanich gets by Camacho) to improve placement on podium.

He will hopefully learn and just get the escape.
I understand the thought process because he knew he was in trouble with the RT and needed to steal a point back, but he certainly has no position to complain about stalling and gamesmanship.
 
Davis' style of getting out got him in trouble. Figs knew he likes to sit back and pulled back for almost near fall twice. This ate up a ton of clock, too. It wasn't the best strategy for Davis.

Yesterday somebody was saying how B1G was dominating 125... - they spoke way too soon as the B1G was utterly destroyed @125 on both the Champ & Consi Brackets this RD. Believe Barnett and Ayala only B1G wrestlers to win their match this RD.
 
That’s the definition of stalling on top by Chlebove. He hung on the ankle for 15 seconds
