Wrestling Officially Official 2022 Big Ten Tournament Thread

Can’t remember where Skak stood with what he needed to do to qualify for nationals or impact on seeding. Maybe going out earlier could have meant him missing the big show or unfavorable seed. Not arguing. Just a thought I had.
I don’t like it either and wanted to see Eierman vs Lee again. The big matches are what makes it exciting. Just hate the hypocrisy among some fans.
 
Legitimately I'm worried about Kemerer finishing the tournament. Praying he can recover in the next week and a half but his screams during his shot attempt on Smith was terrifying actually. Shades of Mekhi last year tbh.
I took a beating early this season when predicting that Kem wouldn’t be in the finals and would probably finish 4th or worse. I saw this playing out in my head…his body just finally breaking. Seeing it now play out in real time is just sickening. I don’t care much of Iowa but Kem is a big exception. I hate this but still holding out hope a miracle rains down on him and he can compete to the best of his abilities in two weeks.
 
Wow, Starocci not making friends in Michigan with that post-match interview. I like confidence, but no need to give the other guys bulletin board material.
LOVE his interviews.

Redshirt year…
”who do you look up too in the room”?
Carter: “No one”

Its not just opponents, he just tells it like it is.

all that get him a pillow sh!t

all that i relax with a chainsaw sh!t

all that ....all that....is complete BS

the 3 ring binder is now a 5 ring binder....book it
Yesterday in the consis Lock Haven's 149 was getting ridden hard in the first by Ohio U and one of the Ohio fans or coaches yelled "Get him a pillow!" a dozen or so times, pretty obnoxiously. Match then turned 180 degrees and Lock Haven (Farber) winds up winning on the strength of his own ride as a few Lock Haven fans go to town on the same pillow jeer.

Lol. Reminds me of when Jack Lambert was drafted (rd 2) and he went up to Lynn Swann (rd 1) at camp and growled..”I should have been the number one pick”.
 
2nd place. Not a well rounded enough team with holes at 149, 125, and 165
The only hole is you for posting something so ignorant. I don't think 125 is a problem, I would think he should/could be AA. He lost a tough one and then hit a tough kid in wrestlebacks. McGee is going to give any mid tier potential AA a tough match. He's strong for 125.
The idea of the constant sarcastic posts does not play well. It makes you look like a jerk. Maybe you are or it's time to start to grow up. If you're as simple as you come across, it might be about your bedtime. You don't want to miss the school bus tomorrow.

Honestly - besides Kerk's brain fart, the biggest frustration of the tournament for me was easily Brady losing to Lewan. That takedown he gave up was a pure mental mistake, which goes completely against Brady's MO. He looked great overall and I'm very excited to see what he can do in Detroit.
 
I noticed Kerkvliet had his left leg newly wrapped today. I then went back and watched that reversal sequence with Cassiopi. In that sequence Cassiopi pulled hard to the outside and against the joint on Kerkvliet's left leg. This allowed him to get in a much better position to work toward the reverse. This is also probably where Kerkvliet injured his knee.
 
that's a costly loss for brooks. by my calculations that's going to put him on the same side as abe assad @johnstownsteel
My nomination for post of the year.

That state has more than 1 school with obnoxious coaches and fans?

I don't like it as a fan that wants to see the sport grow. Wrestling only gets so many opportunities to be showcased on National TV.
The fringe fan didn't get to see maybe the best matchup at 141 nor the best wrestler in college in Gable Steveson
That's not good for the sport.

Yeah - definitely worrisome because I believe Kerk has an unrepaired ACL and that was his good knee. That being said, he wrestled today and won both matches. It was also only a little bit of tape (not a full sleeve) Can't imagine he is doing that if it's serious.

You may not be far off. Lots of good teams out there. NCST, VT and ISU are 3 that could jump Iowa. Especially if Kem or any of the other injured guys can't make it through the tournament.

I saw someone asked about Brady's seeding for Nationals.
Is he still near bottom because of lack of matches.???
