He’s talking about 125 - and it’s true this year. Bad juju

Syncing with Byers can be too much work b/c it changes over time and you have to keep chasing it.
It would be much more interesting to hear him discuss Zain. But that might trigger PTSD.
Shunk is lucky Brown isn't cutting him here and going for the major, you have to wonder why the coaches aren't telling him to do it.

Brown with no effort at all to get the bonus. Different mindset.
And when Shunk got a late escape and a TD would be a major, he just backed away from Shunk.
Duck! Just kidding. 😆
I think he is great on the microphone. Where does the douche comment come from?
Folks from Black Shoe Diaries at the match said that Maryland is charging $15 as a "premium match" but are holding it at a smaller arena holding approx 1500 fans, even though there's no facilities conflict with basketball today.
Which means that Maryland is probably losing over $10k by not holding it in a bigger arena. As if PSU fans wouldn't travel to College Park and pay $15, en masse.

When he wrestled Zain and was dirty. He pissed Zain off enough that he was a little extra mean on top.
Beau hasn't faced many cupcakes this year. Miller is pretty strong, nice job by Bartlett (misspelled as Barlett on the broadcast, btw) to work through that scramble.
Gotcha. I do think it was funny Malik mentioned it should have been a stalemate a couple times and Barlett goes on to get a 3pt takedown. Hindsight I guess
Literally the stalling rules are that each wrestler must work to improve his position.
When you're on top, you can only improve your position by trying to turn or pin your opponent. If you're not working toward that, then you're stalling.
Tony Nelson approves of the idea that top only needs to prevent bottom from scoring.
Byers mentioned this, so I went to Wrestlestat to look. Miller has two wins against Cole Mathews. This is why you should never presume that the higher ranked wrestler should automatically beat up whoever their opponent might be.
As such, I think a major decision is a really solid win for Bartlett. Well done Beau.

I’m surprised BB opted for neutral in the 3rd when an escape and TD would get him the major.
EDIT: He got the 11-1 major anyway.
Much, much more energy from Beau today. Makes you think it may have been a cut/illness/training cycle issue.
Maybe Miller is good on top? Beau got his major by getting TDs and cutting him in 3rd.

Yeah, that exposure alone to Malik would leave a pretty sour taste to say the least. That was a bad look from him that day. From his X account at least, he seems to be a pretty decent guy and solid ambassador for the sport. Doing a good job with commentary.
He was referring to the 125 weight class…..what don’t you understand?
This is a much better Connor Pierce than the last time we saw him (Hofstra).
Amine is pretty good on the mike.
Some good insights. Easy to listen to and works well with his partner.

Really good effort there from Pierce. Even the aggressor in 3rd period. Nicely done Connor.

In their 2 wins, MD wrestlers seem quite content to win by decision instead of going for the major. As someone noted earlier, different mindset.
I keep reminding myself that Levi wrestled a lot of close matches last year too.
This can't be true. We've been told that Levi is better in the 3rd and OT while cutting.
He had a nice early shot in the first, but things are going south now for North.
He just went there, even referenced the bow and arrow.
