Cole Matthews can give him difficulties also ... mainly because he gives everyone difficulties.
But Cole Matthews also could lose R16 or QF.

I thought Hardy blew the knee when he suddenly let go and fell back . . . but luckily he seemed ok, regained his grasp, and kept going for it.
Nebraska officially eliminated from 1st place team contention.
Yeah it didn’t look good. Tons of pressure on the knee but it didn’t seem to bother him after the match thankfully
Who'd have thought Iowa's two finalist so far would get called for 3 combined stalls.
141 seeding is gonna be real interesting.
Coaches poll has 1 Alirez, 2 Woods, 3 Matthews.
RPI will likely be 1 Woods, 4 Alirez, 7 Matthews, (Guessing somewhat because this is before conference tourneys, and Woods did not have enough matches to qualify for an RPI at the time. Woods would've had the #1 RPI with enough matches.)
Woods will likely have the most quality wins. Alirez and Woods are unbeaten, Matthews has 1 loss.
Matthews beat Woods at nationals last year on a 6-pt throw. Rest of the match was really dull. Woods rode Matthews tough, but couldn't sniff a score from top.
As PSU fans, we should want Alirez to get the 1.

I’m so excited for the Levi vs Robb match. I think Levi wins and finally proves to everyone that he absolutely CAN win the national title this year
Every Shayne vs Murin match feels the same
Obviously these refs suck and don’t know anything about wrestling. Iowa style is the most fast paced action packed wrestling on the planet. All teams stall except Iowa, it’s a known fact.
SVN v Murin
- Both snapping down, Murin the more agressive so far
- Murin low double/ankle, converts easily, SVN out. 2-1 Murin.
- SVN looking duck/fireman's, comes up short
- End of period, SVN chooses down.
- SVN rolls out, 2-2.
- Stoppage, I think for blood on Murin.
- Second ends, still 2-2.
- Murin on bottom, out easily. 3-2 Murin.
- Murin with a shot from space, SVN stuffs it but it kills some clock.
- SVN keeps looking for offense off the headsnap but he hasn't been close.
- Time winding down, Murin hit for stalling.
- 3-2 Murin final, SVN fourth place.
I'd assume both ACC guys get seeded ahead of Beau. They're 3-4-5 in the coaches poll, and currently 2-4-6 in RPI. (Beau 4 in both.)
Beau will have the worst Win % and Conference Placement of the 3.
I do too. He's just so sound fundamentally with great low attacks and finishes.
No, you said he’s unimpressive and there isn’t an ounce of talent at 125. Keep up the great work.
Murin has Shane’s number. Hopefully we can stay away from the matchup in 2 weeks
Pretty obvious that Max has a strength advantage over SVN right now. And SVN can't get him to break position like he can with lesser opponents.
SVN is getting there, but it will likely be next year.
Good matches so far. I wish Levi had wrestled robb earlier. Then again I'm not Cael or jts. Good eye on nagao, btw
Wow very impressive match with SVN and Murin. They went at it all 3 periods. Maybe SVN can get him at Nationals
If they meet in the NCAA’s SVN wins. It’s what PSU does. Turns around match-ups when they truly count
He was unimpressive in that match. Don’t twist my words. Of course he’s impressive. He’s amazing.
God forbid I had the temerity to bring up his frequent gassing in the third! How dare I?!?!
I would object to someone calling Lee unimpressive.
I would also object to someone calling him GOAT.
How high Levi gonna be seeded after he wins this?
I like how Shane runs in place after the match. Like it’s no big deal he lost, that he will get him when it really counts.
His double leg out of bounds was oh so close.
After 6 years, Max just might prove head position and hand fighting can win a podium spot. Learned well, the padawan has, from the yodas.

You need to improve your random ALL CAPS and presenting statements with a questionmark at the end game if we are to buy into the @Ironturd persona. Throw in a bunch of !!! and other nonsense while you’re at it. 😉
What impressed me most in the Murin-Van Ness match was how hands to the face has completely disappeared as even a warning.
Murin’s TD in the first was impressive. Heavy on Shayne’s neck, used Shayne’s upward reaction to shoot low off it. Quick finish. And that was the match. Not a big separation between the two wrestlers.
