Well, they were on the schedule.

I'd love to see a home and home, though I might be biased since I live in Arkansas!

AJ Ferrari DEC Stephen Little 2-0

AJ Ferrari is the 2025 197-Pound Pac-12 Champ!

So his conditioning didn't result in bonus as he said it would?

It'll be interesting to see how AJ reacts to the crowd in Philadelphia. Because you know he's getting boo'd at every opportunity.

That's lead to...uh...sub-optimal reactions from him in the past.

The Knox family will offer AJ their expertise on how to handle being boo'd.

Beard got a pin in the EIWA semis.

Willie and Basch live this morning; Willie saying he’s getting texts that OkSt was late to weigh ins

Edit: Willie now clarifying that he’s being told two OkSt wrestlers were cutting weight after weigh-ins began. I have no idea what that means rules-wise.

so all DQ??

DT accidentally flew them to Evanston.

No idea. They’re live right now

 

[LOTOlion]

And they say John Smith made them cut…..

Wait -- when did Taylor hire Kevin Jackson?

 

[mcpat]

 

[mcpat]

I had high hopes for the OkSt message board but there’s been no posts there for 3.5 hours on B12 conference tournament day and with controversy around their weigh ins even.

[mcpat]

Not a very good start for DT coaching-wise.

Edit: looks like that was premature. My apologies to DT. Will be interesting to know the whole story here once it comes out.

This is the kind of thing he's never had to worry about before.

Now they're capped at 9 scoring wrestlers.

Belton is at Oklahoma, not OKST. But he's a 2x NQ, so it's weird for him to miss.

Would they even be eligible for an at large bid to NCAAs?

 

[mcpat]

Now they're capped at 8 scoring wrestlers.

Belton is Oklahoma

 

[mcpat]

Would they even be eligible for an at large bid to NCAAs?

I don’t think so. Carter had to wrestle 0:01 last year and take two L’s to get an at-large

[PAgeologist]

I didn't think so. Guess it might depend if they were DQed or forefits. My lean is DQ and done for year.

 

[mcpat]

Now sounding like both guys are wrestling?

 

[jmadden1998]

You must wrestle at least 2 matches at the conference tournament to be eligible for an at large bid. They won't be eligible if they are DQ'ed

 

[PAHURDLER]

Now sounding like both guys are wrestling?

They got Knox’s lawyer on speed dial.

 

[jmadden1998]

Now sounding like both guys are wrestling?

You are correct. Track is showing they are both on deck on different mats.

The Belton match was supposed to take place almost 45 mins ago. I guess things were getting discussed or appealed.

Terps having a good tournament.

Yep. They wrestled the 2 matches in between some 157 pound matches. Must have gotten worked out.

 

[pawrestlersintn]

Friend of mine is there. Story going around the arena is that Jamison was on a bike after skin check and Brian Smith was the vocal one trying to get him tossed for it. Supposedly John Smith and a couple of lawyers showed up to argue for Jamison.

John Smith?

 

[El-Jefe]

125 still gonna 125.

Defending national champ Figueroa loses in the B12 quarters 4-2 to a North Dakota State wrestler who was 8-11 on the year.

 

[pawrestlersintn]

John Smith?

That's what he said.
