Agree, but not from that match. The kid is a 149 that weighed in at 148.4.

Ridge Lovett will be an extremely tough out in March.
To his credit, I think Blockhus has shown some skill this season in keeping some matches close when on paper (i.e., rankings) he should be blown out. Lovett not winning in more dominant fashion last night might have been expected.
It was great watching Byrd from Illinois ragdoll Olivieri of Rutgers, total physical domination!
Does WS still predict Olivieri over RBY?
Yes. But now Byrd is too!
I think mich. Is not a overly active team with solid but not great athleticism. So our best can handle their best.
Imagine telling somebody that Pitt would knock off ASU and none of Phillippi, Cleary, or Wentzel would win. What a crazy dual.
That may be true, but his riding with on and off double boots would have received a lot of criticism on this board just two days ago in the riding time thread.
I generally like leg riders. Not so much guys who use the technique as a strategy to win matches on a single TD or an E+RT, but guys who legitimately use it to create offense, or guys who are otherwise dynamic and use it as a supplemental tool as needed.
Lovett tends to be a guy who puts points on the board, often in exciting fashion. But he isn’t elite enough to do that to everyone.
I get it, I was definitely a legs guy, 5’10 126 HS wrestler. I was just commenting that for all of the excitement that i seem to remember from him previously, I haven’t seen it as much lately. Maybe I’ve only seen the better competition matches.
Yeah, I haven’t followed him as closely as others, but he seems a little inconsistent. He’s had some wild matches, though. As long as he beats Murin again, we’ll all love him, I’m sure. 😉
What was up with UVA vs. Oklahoma today? Flo shows they only had six matches and that Verk beat Demas at 141??
Looks like a typo, they went at 149. Good win for Verk though.

Soonersports.com is reporting this:
Oklahoma wrestling picked up a lopsided win in their only dual on the final day of the Virginia Duals in a 41-6 victory over Maryland. The team was originally scheduled to face Virginia as well, but Covid-19 protocols prevented the Cavaliers from fielding a full squad. The Sooners and Cavaliers wrestled seven individual matches but did not keep a team score.

Yo! Thanks for info. I passed on a 930 mile round trip drive in snow to State College for the RUTGERS match.
I love how Princeton's match article lists "Tentative Probables" for their roster...
They also have no other 125 than Glory on their entire roster, which is why the forfeited last weekend.
WVU cancelled bc of Covid issues. They were supposed to host the trip meet so Columbia decided to go to OK St.
I saw they rescheduled their dual to occur in Stillwater at 3pm (ET), but OSU’s presser indicated no video/tv coverage, and the dual isn’t showing up on my Watch ESPN mobile app. Where are you seeing info for video?
Glory is indeed going to take the mat.
Courtney in on leg, tries dump, can’t convert. OOB. Off restart, Glory gets TD going OOB. 2-0.
Glory tilt off restart, 4-0.
E Courtney, 4-1. 1:00 left in 1st.
Period ends, Glory up 4-1.
Courtney takes bottom.
Another tilt, now 8-1.
E Courtney, 8-2.
TD Glory on failed hip-over attempt by Courtney, almost got back exposure, 10-2. Period ends.
Glory takes bottom.
E Glory, TD Courtney, Courtney cuts him. 12-4.
Courtney pushing the action, seems to have a lot more gas in the tank.
TD Courtney, 12-6.
Period ends, Glory 13-6 w/ RT point.
The difference in this one was 2 tilts and RT by Glory.

Teemer - Monday up.
Lots of sizing one another up, hips back, dropping to a knee, reaching, jogging in place, fakes, mat-slaps, stutter-steps, and general gazing into one another’s eyes. A busy 1st period ends 0-0.
Monday takes bottom.
R Monday, 2-0.
E Teemer, 2-1.
Rest of period goes like the first, except even more ridiculous.
Teemer takes bottom.
Quick E Teemer, 2-2.
Whoa, a shot and scramble with over a minute left to go. Nothing comes of it.
Monday does another drop-to-all-fours-mat-slap-fake, and so Teemer bulls him over with a blast double. 4-2 Teemer.
E Monday, 4-3.
Match ends that way — Teemer 4-3.

Teemer should have been called for stalling in the first. No a single move forward.
By the time Teemer took the winning shot, which was open due to his continued retreating, he should have been DQed for stalling.

How about in the 2nd, when he dropped to a knee and just sat there for 12 seconds taking a lung timeout?
That’s the kind of match where the official
needs to step up and just blast them with double-stall calls until they get after it.
Seems a reasonable thing to do with that much inactivity from BOTH GUYS.
Serious question for the group, When is the last time you saw a double stall call in a college match?
In the past month — I think in an Iowa dual a few weeks ago. Lemme think, I might find the specific dual.
But yeah, it is much underutilized.
Johnson and Gibbons would've said both guys presented themselves well.
