NCAA Session 4 Thread ...
- Thread starter Tom McAndrew
- Start date
maybe greg elinski he reached the finals a couple times. i can't remember if he did freshman year.
Thought the point was that we won't be able to bitch about a call...Brooks had Abounder on his back, about to pin him and the ref blew the whistle to inexplicably stop it and was wrong. Quick falls happen...Remember this one?
That evens out the Gilman pin that should never have been called. So it's a wash for you guys.
Quick pins do happen and that wasn't a pin against Kilmara just like Gilman didn't pin NATO. Gilman beat NATO. He was better and there's no doubt. That still wasn't a pin, though. You can't tell me with a straight face both his blades were on the mat.
Close, but not as a freshman. He finished 7th as a freshman, made it the finals as a soph and junior (finishing 2nd each time), and then missed the finals as a senior when he finished 3rd.
I think a certain combination of Okie St. and VA Tech losses in the consis would do it too. PSU has 114 points. Okie St. can only score a max of 120 and VA Tech 120.5. Also, a Conaway would factor in too.
Not likely imho.
Gwiz with 84 straight wins vs the World Champ Snyder is the headline match.
Nolf vs IMar is very very worthy. Just don't think they will change given the HWT battle everyone wants to see.
HWT will be a great Finals Match for the Final Match, imho.
That would be monumental. With 114 and a possible total of 152.5, PSU would have to get 29.5 out of a possible 38.5.
I told you guys from the Rutgers transfer thread, he transferred to the Rutgers board. I wonder how many years of eligibility Jammenz has left over there?
Excellent night. Couldn't have gone any better. Can't wait for tomorrow. Would love nothing better than 5 golds and a bronze. Probable? No. But these kids seem to step up every time they on the mat
If the stars align, Nico could end his career just like Q did -- finals win that clinched the team title.
Nah...some refs just call it quick like in Nico's match above. And that was in a defensive like pin position and they normally ever call it that quick.
Just rewatched it...both blades were down but it was quick right before he pushed up...a touch fall. Plus they started counting late...Gilman had control and NATO was scooching on his shoulder blades.
Agree. Here are the morning sessions involving VTECH and OSU
OSU has 4 in the consolations, and are favored (by seed) in 1 of the 4
VTECH has 6 in the consolations, and are favored (by seed) in 3 of the 6
There is one cross match at Heavyweight, so one will not have any points there
Also, if Conway can grab points, it is certainly wrapped up before the evening session starts.
141: 4 Ashnault (RUT) v. 7 Chisko (VTECH)
149: 11 Collica (OSU) v. 10 DePalma (KENT)
157: 15 Walsh (RID) v. 8 Brascetta (VTECH)
157: 6 Smith (OSU) v. 2 Gantt (NCSTATE)
165: 3 Jordon (tOSU) v. 14 McFadden (VTECH)
174: 31 Weatherspoon (ISU) v. 8 Epperly (VTECH)
184: 14 Miklus ( MISSOURI) v. 8 Boyd (OSU)
197: 3 Pfarr (MN) v. 6 Haught (VTECH)
HWT: 3 Waltz (VTECH) v. 4 Marsden (OSU)
The six maximum means that Oklahoma State needs to win ALL of their consolation matches by bonus.
If the PSWC site is fully updated -- and it looks like it is -- Flo is wrong, magic number is 7.0:
PSU 114.0
Pokes 79.5, max 120.0
VT 69.5, max 120.5
By the way, any point total tie, and Penn State wins...more bonus points and falls than anyone.
Was looking at the same thing.
7 it is.
VT and Ok St will likely eliminate themselves before the finals.
That would be sweet. If that happens, they'll need to light the Empire State Building in Blue and White
They should borrow from the NFL. If you ask for a review and your reason for asking is ruled wrong, your wrestler gets a stall call. It counts the same as any other stall call, warning, 1, 1, 2, DQ. That would put a stop to any coaches trying to slow down the match.
Correct. they have a maximum of six matches, and they need a combination of ALL wins and tech falls, majors and pins.
Collica and Marsden do nothing but stall, so It's gotta be a foreign language to them to actually go out and try to win by tech fall or major, haha.
Jojo, I like, aggressive style, has the guts to wrestle you, as evidenced by how he tried to wreslte Jason instead of stall like Collica and Marsden.
