[pawrestlersintn]

Mat 3

Kyle Snyder followed by Spencer Lee ...

I’m Trying to find a Kuhn mat assignment.

EDIT - Maybe Kuhn is later. Keener next PSU & Mat 4, per Tom. Thanks Tom.

You won't. All four mats quarterfinals.

 

[sneedram55]

The sky is not falling. IT was Shak's first big 10 tourney match. Probably had a lot of nerves going on. He'll be fine. Overall pretty darn good first round for the lions. ( . )( . )'s!

 

[NittanyChris]

LOVE Nevills' aggression today! Go Nick!

WE ARE!!!

 

[jrd23psu]

Suriano with a brace on his right leg. I guess it wasn't just the flu or his dad.

[Cali_Nittany]

Just in case anyone was wondering, Pletcher will be on mat 3.

 

[matter7172]

I'm looking at the four mats for 125. Is the next couple hours the peak of the college wrestling season? Man, that is some talent on the mats and I think it's going to continue to be that way.

I say that partly because of the feel of this tournament. First round then boom! into heavy concentration in no time flat. It feels so fast and furious.

 

[a_mshaffer]

anyone else experiencing a Flo meltdown? All I get is static.

nope. has been good all morning

 

[smealpsu2005]

Just in case anyone was wondering, Pletcher will be on mat 3.

But will he be wrestling Carton?

 

[PSUbluTX]

Spencer Lee -- wow!! rethinking my pick that Nato wins the B1Gs.

Suriano -- looking beastly; robbed of back points in the 2nd period.

 

[tikk10]

Nick Lee follows Keener on Mat 4.

 

[bowandarrow]

Baby Heil moves on. Thought Duncan might be able to pull it out for a bit.

 

[PSUcup1]

Keener gives up 2 awful take downs.

 

[fortheglory94]

Pletcher is the smallest HWT I've ever seen.

 

[PSUcup1]

And why did he take neutral. Just not a smart match by Cory

 

[jrd23psu]

I don't get why Keener took neutral in the second.

 

[jrd23psu]

McKee with only 26 second of RT. Cut him right away.

 

[PSUcup1]

I don't get why Keener took neutral in the second.

Made zero sense

 

[diggerpup]

Keener with 4 self-backs.

 

[LemonPie]

Was just rooting for Keener to hang in a survive the first two periods. McKee always gasses. Nope. Dumped to his back.

 

[jrd23psu]

Man, Keener has to finish there.

 

[Cbl50]

Fyi, Garett Hammond, former Lion now at Drexel, opens his EIWA tournament with an 11-3 major decision.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Per 3

[LemonPie]

Carr and Thorn in a good one.

 

[jrd23psu]

Keener is such a strange guy to me. He is saavy. He has good fundamentals. He can get to his office but it seems like he gets to his offense too late. He figures out guys too late.

EDIT - Office = Offense

 

[PSUcup1]

Very frustrating match by Keener

 

[bowandarrow]

Carr vs. Thorn was a F** match.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

[Tom McAndrew]

Zain vs. Steve Bleise

Picking things up with Zain up 13-0 in the 3rd period, and Zain on top. RT is over 3 min. Zain cuts him with 15 sec, 13-1. Zain in on the legs, nothing, and that's the end. With 4:28 in RT, it's a 14-1 major for Zain

 

[PSUcup1]

Wow. Bleise shoulda be embarrassed as should the Minnesota staff

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Nolf is in the hole on Mat 4

 

[jrd23psu]

How in the world does Bleise make 149lbs?

He could not have stalled more, though.

Only following on radio -- trying to figure out how Lee gave up an escape to make it 8-2, then got a 2 point tilt to make it 10-2. How did he get control w/o a TD? Or did the tilt come before he cut him?

 

[mcruny42]

Zain needed to cut him about 15 seconds earlier... seems like a few times this tourney the guys rode looking for turns a little longer than I usually remember them doing. Nick Lee looked good. Nolf and Cenzo about to come up

 

[jrd23psu]

Soreneagle having problems with Bannister. Down 2-1 going into 3rd.
