Ohio State vs Virginia Tech

[zzs006]

Dual on now. Can watch on the ACC network or through espn +

Ventresca who is ranked 4th in the country about to lose to McCrone. It’s 10-3 McCrone with :30 left. Would be a massive upset. And that’s it. McCrone rides Ventresca out to win 11-3. Didn’t see that coming

 

[zzs006]

Now we get Bouzakis vs Latona. Should be a good one

Latona with a late td and it’s 3-0 going to the second. Quick escape for Bouzakis to make it 3-1. 1:00 left in the second period. Pretty boring period. No real attacks

Latona goes under to start the 3rd. Latona out and it’s 4-1. Bouzakis with a bad shot and Latona in deep on a re-attack. Gets a Td after a bit. Escape Bouzakis. 7-2 and then a td for Bouzakis. 7-5 and that’s how it ends. Fun 3rd period after a slow 2nd

Team score is 4-3 tOSU after 2 weights

I understand that at the break, they’re going to honor Brands and his two years as head coach.

 

[railbirrd]

Did my eyes deceive me...ESPN+ showed Tony Robie and beneath it said 4x NCAA champ at Iowa State? Did they think it was Cael?

 

[zzs006]

Jesse Mendez vs true freshman Hunter Mason now up at 141. Mendez killing the poor kid. 12-3 and turns him. Mason fights off his back but it’s 16-3 with :15 left in the first. 18-3 tech for Mendez. Looked very good

Seriously. That should be short in more ways than one

 

[zzs006]

Big match coming up. #5 D’Emilio vs #4 Henson

7-4 Henson after 1 with a super late td

9-4 Henson after 2

Controlling 10-5 win for Henson. Tough kid. Wrestles a hard pace and gets after it

ACC network has basketball right now

Yeah - I had to go to ESPN+ for that reason.

Saw it too. Bald wrestling coach confusion.

 

[zzs006]

Another fun match coming up. Paddy Gallagher vs Bryce Andonian. They were high school teammates

Andonian dead to rights and he somehow comes out on top right at the end of the period. 3-0. Andonian. Ryan is challenging. Call upheld

Andonian starts down and Paddy cuts him. 4-0

Paddy with a beautiful duck and Andonian somehow counters again for another Td. 7-0 Andonian

Paddy with a late td and it ends 7-4. Even though he lost I thought Paddy looked pretty good. Hit a few really nice shots and got in deep. Andonian is just so damn tricky and dangerous from everywhere

 

[zzs006]

Team score is 9-9 after 5 matches

 

[zzs006]

Isaac Wilcox vs Connor Brady up next. I thought Bryce Hepner was likely to be tOSU starter. Anyone know if he’s hurt or Wilcox beating him?

Wilcox beats #16 Brady 6-5 with a td in the last 30 seconds

Ohio State up 12-9 now

 

[zzs006]

Big match upcoming.#7 Kharchla vs #3 Mekhi

3-1 Mekhi after 1

Mekhi goes under to start the 2nd. Kharchla sooo close to a td at the end of the period but Mekhi somehow fought it off

Escape for Kharchla and it’s 4-2. Really fun match. Ends 4-2. Kharchla looked better than I thought he would up a weight against Mekhi

Team score is tied again. 12-12 with 3 matches remaining

 

[LOTOlion]

I feel like Carter is going to steam roll both of them.

 

[zzs006]

Shumate gets the nod for Ohio State. Shumate vs Fisher. Looks like it’s actually Rogotze

Rogotze with a big double to end the period. 3-0

Rogotze goes down and gets a quick escape. 4-0. Another big double and it’s now 7-0. End of 2

Fisher goes neutral. Fisher had a td but Rogotze does Rogotze things and ends up putting Fisher on his back. Gets the fall!! Huge turn of events for Ohio State.

Now up 18-12 with 2 matches left. VT was favored in the dual but looks like Ohio Stare is going to win this thing

 

[jmadden1998]

I feel like Carter is going to steam roll both of them.

That’s a bold prediction.

Big match upcoming.#7 Kharchla vs #3 Mekhi

3-1 Mekhi after 1

Mekhi goes under to start the 2nd. Kharchla sooo close to a td at the end of the period but Mekhi somehow fought it off

Escape for Kharchla and it’s 4-2. Really fun match. Ends 4-2. Kharchla looked better than I thought he would up a weight against Mekhi

Team score is tied again. 12-12 with 3 matches remaining

I thought Kharchla was the better wrestler tonight, the ending disappointed me.

Especially that second year. Best tank job ever!

That’s a bold prediction.

Bold predictions are what I do.

 

[LOTOlion]

Ohio State showed up. This tOSU team would probably win the Luther Open.

Geog vs Smith now. Geog with a quick td. And then a 2nd. 6-1 very quickly. Smith an escape and Td to make the score 6-5. 7-5 after 1

Smith escapes and it’s 7-6 but Geog with a td. 10-6. Escape Smith. 10-7. End of 2.

11-7. 1:30 left. Geog tired but he keeps shooting. Geog wins 11-7 and Ohio State wins the dual

 

[zzs006]

Feldman vs Catka. Should be a better test for Feldman than the tournament last weekend

0-0 after 1

Feldman goes under to start period 2. Catka with 3 big mat returns and he rides Feldman out.

0-0 and Catka goes down. Feldman goes optional start. 1-0 Catka. Feldman gets a Td with :08 left to win 3-2. Can’t believe Catka lost that match

Team score ends 24-12 Ohio State

Catka got out of that low stance late and opened up. I think he just got a little tired. Those are 2 great wrestlers.

LOL so Henson said VA TECH gonna be national champs!! not even close!!

 

[anon_d29z1jdixxwey]

Gotta give Ohio State credit. They humbled Va Tech. They won every 50/50 match, had a couple upsets, and kept it close against higher ranked opponents. Andonian and Latona both gave up late takedowns, which speaks to the effort by OSU (Andonians takedown were all incredible counters, but he was not the aggressor). And Feldman showed heart with a tough takedown in the last few seconds. Among many interesting future matchups, I’ll be anxious to see BB and Mendez. Against every fiber of my being, kudos to the Buckeyes. Either a great sign for the Buckeyes or a terrible sign for the Hokies. Or both. Or neither.

Also…Although I never have loved the idea of the 3 point takedown, it definitely kept things interesting late in matches.

This dual is on youtube in full now:"


I was most impressed by Kharchla. He looks to be much more effective at 174.

I agree. He looked great even though he lost. Could definitely be in the mix at 174…after Carter of course

 

[GogglesPaizano]

LOL so Henson said VA TECH gonna be national champs!! not even close!!

I went back to the interview, I think he said National Chumpionship.

Hats off to the Bucks, they were better prepared, more aggressive, and better conditioned.

I thought it was a very bad look for VT, Ill prepared, poorly conditioned and less aggressive.

He almost blew it, but I still list Andonian as one of my non-PSU favorites to watch. Funky and creative, always good for a few Nolf/Askren like 'how did he do that' moments.

No, Tullfan is right...that's what was said.

 

[GogglesPaizano]

Ah, 'Chump'ionship...😉

 

[BFosr1]

Bryce Andonian reminds me so much of Dylan Ness.
