I did forget to mention that Cade Moss wrestled at 141. Lost the first match by decision and had a MFF in the second.

I won't comment on any wrestlers, but I believe our lineup is now set for the Big 10 and NCAA championships. However, Cael did. Said Rasheed wrestled poorly and was gassed. Morelli will go at 165.

Should be a great matchup.

That said, horrible news on the Okie State side. Prayers for Mr. Rogers and family.

Thanks Jon. Sad news for the Rogers family, all of us in wrestling today are profoundly saddened with grief.

Bummed out to hear that Sheed is still having gas tank issues, or to be more exact, holding the weight issues that are causing tank problems.

Thanks for the updates.

Sad news about Rogers' father. R.I.P.

I don't know the impact of the lineup changes, but 23-8 against the #2 team in the country is very impressive.

How bad is it for NCAA title hopes that Cutch hurt his knee again?

We will probably have to wait until next week to find out if he can go. He did not appear to have more than a small limp.

 

[BobPSU92]

Jon, thanks again for keeping us informed!

Mouse has been dealing with the leg all year. Fortunately he has two weeks to get it right. He'll go out and soldier on for us with it taped in Iowa city, that is a guarantee. Just something we'll have to deal with and get as many points as it will allow. If he can win a few matches and lock up a seed, look for Cael to probably default him after he locks up the NCAA bid, to preserve the knee better.

We're going to have to do it like we did it in 2011 and 2012: Big guns scoring big points at big moments. I think we can make it happen, this is how we do things. Cael basically redshirted our run last year to reload and make the run this year...we're not bailing out now.
