Zain wins. Rode the whole third period. I give credit to the Iowa guy. He didn't wilt like others have.

He had a fake nosebleed to catch his breath

 

[amalone]

Then again... Sorensen covered up the entire 3rd period to not get turned. Wasn't looking to score. Looking merely not to get turned like so many before him.

Sorensen laid on his stomach for almost the entirety of the 3rd period. I don't know how you give credit to that??

 

[Grass]

Sorenson is a tough kid. Good hard fought win by Zain.

 

[dunkej01]

team title clinched.....got the one for the thumb boys! Best team and best fans!

 

[fen103]

"Match is a match. I love to compete." Zain on interview after the match.

 

[jrd23psu]

I said this before, but Sorenson will not score on Zain. He won't come close. He can play defense the entire time because that's all he has against Zain. 4-0 or a fall, it won't matter. He won't be any closer to scoring on Zain than he was today.

 

[Franklin_Restores_TheTradition]

Ridiculous, one stall call on Sorenson despite not making a single shot or attempting anything in 4 and a half minutes of neutral wrestling and then doing nothing but crawling around on his belly like a flounder out of water while being ridden for the other 2 and half minutes..... And Iowa wonders why they haven't threatened anyone for championships for going on 6 years -- you saw the biggest why right there on the mat with Sorenson, Iowa calls that bull$hit display "awesome wrestling" because he held Z-Pain to a 4-0 victory, wooooohoooooo! Ridiculous, the way Sorenson choose to wrestle when given a chance to win a b1g "Championship" - sad really.

 

[a_mshaffer]

Thats what I saw but the big 10 will never call vs osu

grabbed the singlet unintentionally

 

[manmythlegend1]

Zain may not have scored a lot of points but he physically dominated Sorensen..that was a statement for the future

 

[Law-Deezie]

Perry is trying to get IMar a breather...

 

[WildTurk]

Zain doesn't waste a single second of a match. Relentless pressure. He could wrestle 30 mins straight like that. Sorensen is a great wrestler but Zain is a step ahead. Reminds me of Metcalf. Congrats to Zain and PSU on the BIG10 Championship. Cheers!!

 

[PSU Mike]

Lung time fake challenge

 

[erie lion]

BS - Coach giving IMar rest. That call was obvious to everybody. IMar backing out.

 

[Locolion]

BS - Coach giving IMar rest. That call was obvious to everybody. IMar backing out.

Another break for i mar

 

[PSU Mike]

Didn't hold the referees position for a second

 

[fen103]

Didn't expect to get that overturned.

 

[WildTurk]

Wow what a match. That's why I love wrestling. Martinez and Nolf are the future of USA wrestling.!

 

[Law-Deezie]

Gotta admit it, I think Imar had the TD

 

[fen103]

Really close match.

[erie lion]

Martinez - Hard fought win. But shows no class at the end.

 

[Locolion]

Really close match.

That was depressing. Imar hangs on the underhooks all day. For Ncaa's gotta force that dude to wrestle

 

[fen103]

Yeah, I thought it was taken down too. I give Imar credit he wrestled a really good match.

 

[Law-Deezie]

That loss will piss Nolf off and he'll be on a mission at NCAA's...gotta admit tho, I thought he may be able to go undefeated throughout his NCAA career...I know it's early but I thought he had a legitimate shot...

 

[Big Blue12]

Sorry imar slows it down. Not a fan of that style.

 

[Locolion]

Nevills and Mac better win

 

[fen103]

You're right he did hang onto the undercooks. It's Nolf's job to get out of it an make him wrestle. Jason didn't wrestle his kind of match and needed to put more pressure on Imar.

 

[Law-Deezie]

Nevills and Mac better win

Nevills? He was bounced yesterday...I think u mean Bo

 

[goethe14]

I Mar paced himself in the first period. Nolf will figure him out in NCAA. Had a couple good shots but I Mar hung on the foot

 

[Diego Badman]

Gotta admit it, I think Imar had the TD

I did as well.

 

[WildTurk]

IMAR dug deep and clearly had plenty of gas in the tank at the end. Give him credit. Nolf and Imar are the best in the business. That match was worth the price of admission

 

[Blackcat97]

Great match. Imar did what he needed to do to win. Rubber match will be fun

 

[Franklin_Restores_TheTradition]

Saw that one coming from a mile away - I-Mar slowed the offensive action down in neutral to nothing. The official let him just stand there with with a single or double-hook in doing a whole lot of absolutely nothing. I-Mar burnt significant amount of neutral wrestling doing nothing but standing there with a front-headlock, under-hook or double-underhook. Shame that collegiate wrestling rewards this type of strategy because it really is not supposed to be rewarded - wrestling is supposed to be about "chain offensive wrestling" and attempting to improve at all times. Rewarding "defensive wrestling" as a strategy to win is not good for collegiate folkstyle wrestling.

 

[Big Blue12]

Nolf will game plan different for ncaa...I like him to win. Better to lose here and get refocused for ncaa's.

 

[dunkej01]

what a great match! Imar may have rop a doped us fans. His tank was just fine today.

No offense to Gantt and Miller but the 2 best guys are in the B10.

 

[Diego Badman]

Martinez - Hard fought win. But shows no class at the end.

What did he do? I must have missed something.

 

[LemonPie]

Better root for Brascetta

 

[capkrokus]

Do they erase all the riding time that occurs during regulation once they go into OT. Nolf had over 40 seconds of riding time in regulation that didn't count in the OT unless I'm mistaken.
