Midlands Brackets & Thread :

[slushhead]

Lambert, Montoya, Wetherspoon, Studabaker, Dudley

Weatherspoon is ISU.

EDIT: You must have meant Berger.

 

[johnstownsteel]

Kemerer looked very solid. Tsirtis did not look good at all.

He's having a nice tourney. I was thinking Nolf would tech or pin him but he just may be able to hold it to a major.

Lambert, Montoya, Wetherspoon, Studabaker, Dudley

Lambert keeps improving.

 

[mcruny42]

Iowa's young talent is pretty good. Solid depth too. Hate to say it.

Regarding Iowa's young talent..
I like PSU's underclassmen at 157, 165, 174 and 184 better than Iowa w/ 125 and 285 being toss ups moving forward. Im glad Iowa has picked it up in recruiting as its fun as a fan, but realistically I can't see them challenging PSU until March of 2020 if they don't do so this year.

 

[Brian LB-U]

Wow, I can see how Nick Lee struggled to score on Chad Red. Great match so far, 2-1 heading to the third!

Scoring on Red wasn't the issue, getting out from bottom in the 3rd was.

Yep cant blame that on spellcheck, was shocked the see weatherspoon make finals over Meyers thanks for the catch

 

[CholleyVandine]

Kolidzik just never quits. He beat Ashnault back in November with a TD in the last 10 seconds. Both he & Red are quite impressive for true frosh.

Definitely impressive, but Kolodzik graduated from high school in 2015 and took a gray shirt last year. (He finished 5th at Midlands.) Not quite as impressive as a true true frosh.

 

[johnstownsteel]

Scoring on Red wasn't the issue, getting out from bottom in the 3rd was.

I thought that as well so I just watched that match again. Nick wrestled him very tough. In fact, I was more impressed by him than Red in that match. Yes...even in the loss. We got a great fellas!

   Ramos was the same way. And wasn't Evans a guy that got chippy after matches with some shoves?
   Yep. Didn't mean there haven't been others ... just seems like it's usually only one or two a year.

Their track record is usually a minimum of two guys a year, which is two guys too many.

 

[JOESTROSSER]

Any video of the alleged punch by Ashnault?

Sort of...

 

[JOESTROSSER]

Can't tell if he punched him, but certainly wasn't a hit to the side of the head.

 

[Cali_Nittany]

I finally saw the end of the Tereo-Gilman match. Tereo clubbed him a couple of times with his forearm. I understand why Gilman was upset.

 

[Needanap]

It wasn't a punch. It was a very, very hard slap to the side of the face. It came out of nowhere. I was sitting in the upper deck and could clearly hear the slap.

Lambert, Montoya, Berger, Studabaker, Dudley

FIFY

 

[nitlion6]

Yippie. Mich St Northwestern basketball on. Little more than a minute to play. Another 20 commercials and half an hour to play that last minute and we can watch the Midlands.

 

[slushhead]

Good ol' BTN never fails -- basketball game running into wrestling coverage.

Good ol' BTN never fails -- basketball game running into wrestling coverage.

Very important foul > free throw > foul > free throw > time out time out time out sequence to deal with here. That ten point gap with 25 seconds might just miraculously close up.

 

[RoarLions1]

Gilman "almost impossible to beat", though couldn't tell you if Gibbons or Johnson said it. Tough to beat, yes, though a 15th ranked Terao almost pulled it off in the semi's.

 

[diggerpup]

Gilman is a senior and supposed to be a leader.

He needs to find some poise.

If he can't, he's just another Iowa punk - and someone mentally stronger will get into his head and beat him when it matters most.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

133: Richards - Montoya going OT. Montoya gets the TD 13 sec into OT, for the 6-4 win.

 

[slushhead]

What a brutal way for Richards to lose. You could just see it coming.

 

[slushhead]

I honestly don't understand how Jack has as much success as he does, hanging his head so often -- whether he's in on a shot, or on bottom in mat wrestling.

A blue-chip stall ride.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

A blue-chip stall ride.

lol.

Kolodzik is going to have to figure out how to not be ridden for 2 minutes if he wants to be the national champ. Kolodzik got in pretty well on a single in the 3rd after cutting Jack, but Jack threw in a nice whizzer to fight off the TD.

 

[slushhead]

When did Tsirtsis transfer to Iowa?

Crop -- you have any extra bowls of rusty nails you can share?

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Sorensen gets taken to OT, but gets a TD and 3 NP points for the win

 

[PSUcup1]

Sorensen ..... if he wrestled likes this against Zain it's gonna be even uglier than before

 

[NYWRESTLER94]

Sorensen always wrestled that way, glad him and tsirtsis aren't wrestling anymore that's the most boring sight

 

[slushhead]

No kidding. What does he stand to gain by holding back so much? Geez, let it fly and see if you can get better. It should be his goal this season.

 

[slushhead]

IDK, man -- I seem to recall Sorensen having a very spirited match with H. Stieber a few years back in a dual at tOSU. I believe it was Sorensen who stormed back with some offense to either win or come very close to it. I just remember thinking at the time, "This is a Hawkeye I can like."

What I just saw tonight was depressing.

 

[21Guns]

Wow, waved it off.

 

[PSUcup1]

That's clearly a TD. Horrific officiating

Berger gets screwed

 

[tikk10]

Brands working some magic there.

 

[nitlion6]

P*ssy official. That was a TD as soon his hand had control of second leg.

 

[PSUcup1]

Kem just locked his hands.

 

[21Guns]

Shady officiating.

 

[21Guns]

NOTHING against Kem, but this match is bdly officiated.

 

[PSUcup1]

What a joke. Official needs to take his tampon out

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Wow, KemDawg and Berger appear to be going to OT, as KemDawg's late TD gets waved off. KemDawg gets in really deep on an outside single, but Berger fights it off. Kem in on another head outside single, but Berger with some funk, and a stalemate at 5 sec. Some great action in the SV.

Kemerer out in 3 secs in TB-1. Berger out in 9 sec in TB-2. On to SV-2.

Berger in on a single, KemDawg shows great hips, and a stalemate with 32 sec left. Berger in on a single and nearly gets the TD, never awarded, and after the buzzer the refs decide to go on their own to video review. Actually, the TD was awarded in real time, and then waved off. And after the review, no TD.

Berger gets ridden out, and ends up losing. Nice effort by both guys.
