PSU - Iowa Dual Thread

Nice to see you rooting against our own wrestlers.

I'm not rooting against our own wrestlers at all. I love Hall, I was cheering him on as he went through the MSU Open and the Scuffle. He needed time, he needed the RS.

I'm laughing at guys like you who thought pulling his shirt was automatically the answer to a national title.

wrestling experts.. does cutch's height hurt him vs these taller 197 guys? seems struggles vs the taller guys at times to finish.

Wilcke isn't tall. Cutch had length issues even at 184. The fact is that he is massively overrated by this board because John Doe told them he would be a freshman finalist.
 
Guys, Cutch is ranked 10th wrestling up a weight. He is not a lock for the podium but come on.... not every guy can be Zain, Nolf or Bo...

197: Cutch vs. Wilcke

Per 1:
Wilcke shoots, blocked. 2 min left. 1 min left. Not much action. Cutch in on a low single, and gets the TD with 48 sec, 2-0. OOB with 45 sec. Wilcke up quickly and out at 39 sec, 2-1. Cutch reaches for an ankle, nothing. End Cutch has 8 sec of RT

Per 2:
Cutch takes bottom. He's up quickly and out at 1:55, 3-1. Wilcke reaches, nothing. Lots of collar ties. Stall warning on Wilcke. Cutch in on a head inside pick, nothing as he was on the edge and Wilcke threw in a whizzer. Stalemate with 20 sec left. End. RT at 2.9 sec for Cutch

Per 3:
Wilcke up, then out at 1:53, 3-2. RT at 10 sec, so it's no factor. Wilcke shoots from way outside, nothing. 1 min left. Not much action. Wilcke shoots, blocked. He shoots again and gets the TD, 3-4, but a quick esc, 4-4, with 20 sec left. Cutch shoots, blocked. End.

SV-1:
Wilcke shoots, Cutch tried to spin behind, nothing. 20 sec. Very little happening. End

TB-1
Cutch takes bottom. He's up and does a sitout and gets a rev, 6-4. Stall warning for hanging on the legs with 14 sec. Wilcke up, front trip, Cutch on the legs again, and a warning with 1 sec, 6-5. That kills

TB-2
Wilcke takes down. He's up, and out at 25 sec, 6-6. End Cutch has 26 sec in RT

SV-2
nothing thru 30 sec. stalemate at 16 sec. Wilcke reaches, nothing.

TB-3
Wilcke takes down. Up quickly, and out at 24 sec, 6-7. TO for an eye poke. End

TB-4
Cutch down. He has 33 sec of RT. He's up, and out at 13 sec, 7-7. End

On RT criteria, Cutch wins 8-7

PSU - 21, Iowa - 11

That cinches the dual for PSU
 
When you win in Carver

I guess that at least one huge bonus of pulling Hall's shirt, is it allows Joseph an opportunity to move up to 174 with Nolf going to 165, and Hall can RS then.

Nobody thinks he is. It's just that some here have actually posted he's a lock to AA. Personally. I'd wager against that
 
Giving everyone a pass tonight, they all look a bit wobbly and tired. I get that the competition is better than they've seen all year but Zain even looked weaker than usual in the second period, afraid to commit deep on shots, mindful of the go-behind. Part of it I'm guessing is the atmosphere. I think on a neutral mat each of these matches they look a little better.

C'mon what? That was just brutal given that Wilke is not ranked. Might be one of the ugliest matches, let alone wins I've ever seen. Matt did virtually nothing that entire match except lean on Wilke. Matt should have been able to at least major Wilke - did not look anything remotely like an AA in that match.

A lot of posters on here that either have "never wrestled" or simply don't understand the sport, scoring & dynamics that come with a consistent top 5 program on a national level...you'll be on board in March...and we'll all say, "How soon we forget"
