Beaus mat sense doesn't seem to be there. Darn.
Bartlett has rushed/miscalculated SOOOOOO many finishes this year. That's part of what makes me optimistic. It's little things he needs to clean up and he could be scoring so much more.
I think Beau bet J Lee he could fail more cradle attempts than Joe does throws.
Same mistake as Friday…goes for a cradle with no leverage.
Just didn't seem like he did much in 2 or 3.
Edit: As quickly as Lee got hit for stalling, I figured Red would've at least got hit late in the 2nd for doing nothing from neutral.

Well, that cements it for me. BB is in no way, shape, or form a 149 pound wrestler. He had Ridge in a lot of trouble and Ridge blew through him like nothing. Just doesn't have the size or strength.
I think some abeing out muscled
That’s how I see it. I think he gets some of those finishes at 141 and certainly doesn’t end up on the short end of them.
He might get some of them, but I've yet to see anything more than R12 at any weight.
Maybe, but R12 as a RSFR isn't the worst result. A lot of guys and programs would be over the moon with that.
Impressive work by Lovett. Like a Sasso, but wants to score points.
That was Bartlett's worst effort this year IMO. Definitely needs to open up but you don't have the length to cradle 149s ... especially Sasso/Lovett!
Definitely bad matchup for Beau. Still, if he had gotten that first TD, who knows?
BB continues to fight no matter what, and that's important. His opponents often have length on him. His best strategy in the post season might be to keep it close and go for the win in OT or with a ride out or last minute TD.

Who's arguing? I asked a simple question.
Not that it made any difference whatsoever, but how doesn't he call top-stalling on Lovett after how he called same on Lee????
Thought Murin for me, but definitely a tough showing. Against Murin I felt like he didn't give himself a chance to win, whereas today I just felt like he was pretty outgunned from the jump.
I agree to some extent. It could be he knows he doesn't have the strength to power through at 149 so he limits his shots. I'm holding out hope he regains his confidence and aggressiveness against 141s.
I have not seen him wrestle at 141. In my opinion he needs major improvement to be better than R12 no matter what weight class he wrestles.
This. I hope he's back at 141 next year with his head still in the game.

I started to type same post, but I think he had RBY broken down flat and hitting cross faces more. I’m not saying you don’t have a point, but I saw enough of a difference that I didn’t post it after taking the time to type basically the same thing.
This is sort of where I'm at. And it's not the same for everyone, but if anyone has wrestled as an undersized guy they know it can be deflating when you get in on a shot and quickly realize you have no chance to finish/might give up points. You become a lot more judicious with your shot attempts.
Damn. So close to a huge upset there by TB. A hell of a match by him.
Great effort by the claw
Between Angel, this ref and the one we had Friday night… I’ll take the one we had Friday night. I especially liked how he explained himself as he made calls.
Should have kept clearing the hand so he could turn in. Started to then went to the leg and then back to the hand at the end.
This^^. Bearclaw kept in close, but didn't come remotely close to a TD until the last 15 seconds. And then it was too little, too late.
