PSU - Wisconsin Match Thread
- Thread starter Tom McAndrew
- Start date
Entire lineup looks pretty sluggish. Travel and weigh-ins two days apart may have something to do with that, but Wisconsin would have the same excuse. Wisconsin/Bono deserves a lot of credit for having his guys this focused.
Maybe Cael worked them hard last week ... legs look heavy.
Pretty flat. Wisky had to be feeling a little salty after their performance on Friday night also.
Reminiscent of Michigan dual last year. Gives them reason to keep focused and work on/clean things up

Cassar in on a single and gets behind for the TD, 2-0. Hillger out quickly, 2-1. Not a lot of action after that. Hillger with a few shots, and Bono wants a stall call on Cassar. LOL. Hillger shoots again, nothing. End.

24-13, PSU wins the dual
I like the Wisconsin fight. They were scrappy and wrestled to win...obviously have bought into Bono's mentality. It is a dual meet win, and all the guys have things to work on as they head towards March...
Chad Red of Nebraska will wrestle him the same way next weekend. He'll need to make those adjustments quickly.
Ridge Riley Award Winner is Anthony Cassar
Interview
- Wisconsin came to scrap
Talk a little about your bout
- just score points. I really wanted the major
You got 5 TDs, and nearly got the major. How good are you feeling about your wrestling
- I feel I'm wrestling well, but I'm always improving. I learned some things from the Scuffle. I take back that loss at Nationals where it counts
Missed questions
- I'm good on my feet. I really worked on the mat components on the summer, and still need to improve my turning
Is the travel this weekend an issue
- it's a good thing to experience, and tests us
Talk a little bit about having a full week to prepare for Nebraska
- I'm excited. I'll eat a lot of food, and have some fun

Congratulations! That was one of the few shots taken by a Wisconsin wrestler all day.
Hmmm. Three years in a row now they've had one of these head-scratcher meets right about this time of the year. Like some others, I suspect they're training through some duals right now.
There’s more to college wrestling than walking backwards the entire match.
Good try troll! PSU won the dual fair and square. Come here because PSU fans know and respect wrestling. You sound like a Hawekeye fan now.....
Thanks. That's more indicative of the overall wrestling. But as said above, this match really reminded me of last year's Michigan match, which I thought was the most flat of Cael's tenure to that point.
Credit to Wisconsin after crapping the bed Friday, though.
I watched the entire match. Your team wrestled tough, but the majority of the time your guys were moving backwards. Your takedowns were off of counters, not all of them, but most of them. The takedowns in regulation of the 141 match were all counters to Nick Lee’s shots. Lee kept going in on a single and then your guy was stepping over, scooting behind and wrapping his leg over. His only legit takedown off of his own shot was the one in OT. My hat’s off to him; he found a weakness in Nick’s game and exploited it, but don’t sit there and claim he dictated the pace.
No. If I was a Hawkeye fan, I would have applauded your limited offense and conservative wrestling style.
Lots of overreaction, if Cenzo wrestles and wins over Wick I doubt we hear about the issues. The focus would have been on him and if Berge doesn’t give up late score? I thought many of our guys wrestled really good
Never did you fool. Lol I have stated multiple time PSU was the better team and won the dual. But Wisconsin fought their tails off and won 4 matches against the #1 team including 2 upset wins.
Yes. Losing consistently to the team who puts an emphasis on takedowns and wrestling to win rather than trying not to lose is the other part.
Bergez’s Gonna lose a match like that here and there; its’s more understandable since he’s a frosh. Nick Lee though, I would expect to have a little more control and make in match adjustments. I’m sure he’ll approach his guy a little differently if he faces him in the future.
Giving Wisconsin credit for wrestling with attitude today. Also acknowledging the PSU kids not only trained hard all week, but a fairly hard go yesterday. Fatigue challenge, you need to maintain focus and compete hard through the fatigue. Nick and Brady competed hard. They just need to keep things a bit more sharp.
Exactly...Berge wrestles like that, I was confused by Nick’s performance, otherwise what I expected overall. Most important , no injuries and a W
Nice use of insults. I guess that makes your point better. As I said, I watched the match. I saw how many individual matches you won, so it’s not new information. Share something we don’t know already captain obvious.
Lee also needs to be smarter. Despite his struggles, he was in good position to win late in the 3rd period, but pretty much gifted the match into OT.
Nolf is the exception to a million rules.This guy would like to have a word with you
Don’t forget ducking is also when a different team’s wrestler doesn’t wrestle in big matches but it’s not the same when the team you root for’s wrestler does the same because of a myriad of justified reasons.
Funny thing is this involves ALL fan bases.
Intentional or not, Cenzo effectively secured the #1 seed at B1Gs today, and Wick will have to get through Marinelli.
Thought almost all our guys faded in the 3rd (hat tip to Jason and Mark). Very evocative of Michigan last year. Bet they’ve been grinding hard in the room.
Jazzed that Bono is coaching i the B1G now—he’s a great coach, and entertaining to watch.

Frustrating stalling by Wisconsin. And the ref seems neutralized by Wisconsin coach. Crowd getting mad at ?(everything, everybody)
I would say Moore has a ‘chance’ to beat Nickal. He is the #2 guy at the weight. A great chance? Hell no. A chance? Yes.
Won’t be close...big separation between 1 and 2, example Nolf/Deaken
If you’re basing that off today’s match you would be mistaken. That guy was in reverse for six and a half minutes.
I was there Wiscy had a strategy. Hats off to them but it is what it is.
