Match thread for ASU

Verkleeren dealing with type 1 diabetes. And likely energy loss. That escape that was negated when ASU threw the brick made a difference, as did V's inability to escape.
Can we stop using his diabetes as an excuse? It didn't stop him when he won his cadet world title, which involved significantly worse travel than Phoenix.

He lost this match because he wasn't good enough on feet and wasted a ton of time trying for reversals.

Verk and or the corner didn't have a great gameplan in the 3rd.
 
Nick leaving to Rutgers screwed us at 125

I am baffled that 149 has struggled. Verk is a quality wrestler. Hope he gets going

when do we expect Berge to go

Cenzo's gotta turn it around. Let's see what he can do. I think it's going to be close yet again.
 
Good effort and a lot of fight out of Pipher. He is just undersized for 157lbs and Teemer looks like a bigger 157lber.
 
Except for Lee, Penn State has looked terrible. Team B out there. Little aggressiveness. Not able to finish. Not able to escape.

Who is using it as an excuse. It is a reality. Do you understand how it works?
 
Shack might have to go out and not get pinned, he has a punchers chance to wrap a cradle with those long arms and legs of zahid.

Let's hope the bout resembles their matchup in State College instead of the one from nationals. Really need to get some momentum here.

Keep in mind, if Suriano stays at PSU that is a big chunk of scholarship money not available for somebody else. Who knows, maybe a key wrestler is no longer at PSU.
 
So, essentially down 8 with 4 bouts to wrestle. Gotta hope all 4 guys are available. If not we will lose.
 
Have we seen one ASU guy that doesn’t look like he is cutting a lot of weight? These guys have to be right behind the OSU with that claim to fame.
 
Best not to count on any points at NCAAs for 125 or 149.

Come ON!!! 4 time Iowa state champ and he can't defend himself???? JEEZ!!! Damn Nick Suraiano!!! We should be looking at 3 NCs at 125 instead we have been sucking wind at 125 for the past two years!! Come on Tesky!!! How can you win 4 Iowa state championships and wrestle like that!

Exactly, he just doesn't go for it. Not just a style point either, he wastes a ton of time and always has. He has serious talent and doesn't get aggressive whatsoever.
