2025 Big Ten Tournament thread

JFC, Cruz is really below average. Weren't there some guys on here claiming he was getting better?

Iowa can't get Deluca in here fast enough.

Coulda swore Luke took him down 3 times in the first. It was 6-2 after one somehow.
 
Below average is harsh. He does have potential.
He got ridden out the entire 2nd period by the MSU kid. And was on the ropes before the MSU kid got lazy on the free release in the 3rd ala Van Ness.

Below average. This is the B1G. For reference I would say that Braedan at times has been average this year. These guys don't wrestle in the streamlined EIWA.
