184 Quarters: McCutcheon vs. Kenny Courts (Ohio St.) on mat 5 ...


Cutch is seeded 14th, while Courts is unseeded. These 2 met in a dual in January. It was scoreless after the 1st, though Courts was the aggressor. Cutch led by 1-0 after the 2nd, though Courts was getting in deep. In the 3rd, Courts got an esc, then got a TD, and then rode Cutch for over 1 min to get RT. Cutch got the esc to make it 2-3, but couldn't get a late TD, and lost 2-4 with RT.

The way the tourney is going, this match is big for both teams in the team title race.

Per 1:
Courts looks huge next to Cutch. Cutch with an ankle pick on the edge, trying to bring Courts in, quite a battle, then he gets the TD at 1:47. OOB at 1:43. Nice job by Cutch, 2-0. Not much movement by either off the whistle. Courts stands and then tries a roll, but Cutch stays in control and has him flattened. Cutch trying to tilt, but Court imitating a flounder. RT over 1 min. RT over 1 min. Stall warning on Courts. Rideout by Cutch. He has 1:47 in RT.

Per 2:
Court defers, and Cutch takes bottom. Caution on Courts. Cutch up and out in 6 sec, 3-0. Courts on a leg, nearly OOB, but Courts gets the TD, 3-2. OOB with 1:32. Cutch to feet, then back down, and OOB at 1:13. Courts grabs the ankle. Cutch to base, and up, and out at 56 sec, 4-2. 1:04 in RT for Cutch. Ear to ear for a bit, and then again. Court with a shot, nothing. End.

Per 3:
Courts takes bottom. Courts with a roll and an esc in 6 sec, 4-3. Cutch still has RT (1:07). Court in on a leg, and he gets the TD, 4-5. RT under 1 min. OOB with 1:15. Need better defense from Cutch. Cutch to his feet and out at 1:08, 5-5. OOB with 44 sec. RT at 43 sec, so not a factor. Courts drops to shoot, nothing. Cutch reaches, nothing. We are going OT.

SV
Courts in on the legs, Cutch gives up the TD, 7-5. Ugh. Cutch had trouble all match with Courts when Courts committed to the legs shot.

Cutch went away from the offense he's had in the past month, and was too defensive in the match.

Per 1:
No shots thru 1 min. Mac with an ankle pick, Hartmann reaches over for Mac's ankle, a scramble, Mac has the advantage but it gets stalemated at 56 sec. Correct call. Hartmann with a reach, nothing. 30 sec left. Scorelss.

He throws in legs, Mac grabs the ankle and removes the legs, he's up and nearly out, but OOB with 30 sec. RT at 52 sec. Mac up, tries a sitout, nothing, but thenis out with 20 sec left, 2-2.

Per 3:
Hartmann takes bottom. He has RT to start. Hart to his feet, taken back down, back up, and back down. To his feet again, and out at 1:32, 2-3. Mac needs a TD. RT not a factor. 1 min left. Mac in on a leg, again Hartmann reaches over for ankle, a scramble, Mac needs to spin, tries hard, but he runs out of time. Damn. Didn't see that one. McIntosh is upset, 2-3. Some discussion between CS and refs. Appears to be going to a video review. Byers thinks it's on a locked hands, but no confirmation. Review is taking quite a bit of time. Hartmann is the winner.

Today is when Nationals is won.

All 7 still have shots to AA, 5 for titles. Let 'em rip!

Go Nits!
 
after this match ...


PSU is 14-2 at NCAAs, with both loses coming in SV.

Not sure even a wide-eyed optimist had PSU doing that well in their first 16 bouts.

141: Kevin Jack (NC State) upsets Devin Carter (Va Tech) ...


think it was 10-8, but I was switching feeds and missed the final score.
 
Re: Jeva destroys Nick Dardanes, 18-4 ***

I love a good strategy and positional wrestling but watching T-Shirt is bad for the sport. Friends are here watching and they went to the bathroom and for beverage during the match.

jeva was awesome to watch. No goofer fan here but that sucks to go out that way after wrestling your whole life.

JG feeling good. 3-0 against clark lifetime I believe.

Steirbler looks like the is on another planet.

Realbuto match.

With the flurry at the finish, I couldn't figure out what happened or how the score ended up as it did. Sure enough, they forgot to award Miller a point for an escape, so awarded a win to Realbuto when he had actually lost in regulation.
 
125 Cons. R3: Conaway vs. Lizak (Minny) on mat 1 ...


believe they met in the PSU - Minny dual, and Conaway won, 13-3. Wasn't that the match where Lizak's redshirt was pulled?.

This will be the final bout involving a PSUer in Session III


Per 1:
OOB at 2:35. JC gets a leg, is tentative and Lizek drives it out of his reach. OOB with 2:08. JC in nicely on a leg, Lizak sprawls, grabs an ankle and a wild scramble, and finally JC gets the TD at 1:20. JC riding tough, and Lizak not doing much. JC has the Turk in on the leg, but then he loses it. LIzak with a roll but JC follows. Lizak to feet but OOB at 11 sec. Lizak to feet, dropped back down, and end.

Per 2:
Lizak defers and JC takes neutral. Not sure what RT is. Lizak in on a leg, but Conaway rolls thru, they scramble, Lizak on his back but no control, then finally JC gets the TD at 40 sec, 4-0. On the edge, Lizak rolls and is out for the esc as they are OOB at 23 sec, 4-1. Each with a semi-shot that is blocked. End.

Per 3:
Lizak selects top. Caution on Lizak. Lizak throws in legs, but JC catches the foot, JC to base, and gets a reversal, 6-1. RT at 1:44 and growing. with 40 sec left. JC nearly locks a cradle, but doesn't quite get it. Stall warning on Lizak. JC with an arm bartries a tilt but gives a reversal, 6-3. With RT, it ends 7-3.

You're right Tom. Jordan was on the way to a major and just didn't quite get it... but handled Lizak comfortably.
 
Committee appears to be reviewing it. Did they decide yet?

.
 
PSU has 2 in semis, and 4 in Consolation R4 2nite ...


after a tough time in Session III. Only LawDog lost decisively. All others were in OT or by 1 point. Beitz is the only PSUer that is out of the tournament. The 4 in the consolations have to win tonight to AA, and also to stay in the tourney. Brown and Gulibon will AA and continue regardless of whether they win tonight.

believe action will be at 8 pm EDT tonight.

Tom
 
yes. what I expected.

Says it goes to Cornell because Kent State coaches "had an opportunity to ask for review."

To me, this failing arose because of the speed they start overtime. If you saw the action, it was "bang-bang," jumped right out into the center to start OT. Shyte, nobody had time. Obviously nobody had time to total up the scoring. As I said, something just didn't sit right with me because the points didn't add up, but just like that, they're back in the center.

Really sucks for Miller and Kent State.
 
Thanks Front Range. Tough break, when Miller had won on the mat *

I didn't see the match, but from the ref perspective ...


of what you described, I can't really fault that on the ref. they are instructed to move quickly into OT. The wrestlers want to treat the period between the end of regulation and the beginning of OT as a break time, but the refs are supposed to stop the match at the end of the 3rd, check the score, and if it's tied then move the kids quickly to the center and whistle things to start. Also, it is the table's responsibility, not the ref's, to keep the score. The coaches are supposed to be the checks on the score, not the refs.

Tom

Re: I didn't see the match, but from the ref perspective ...

From what I've been told by someone there it was clearly a scoring error that was not corrected.

Yes... A member of the committee spoke with the TV reporter and confirmed there was an error.

It was a scoring error and Miller should have been awarded the escape point, which would have won the match.

However, the committee ruling was that there is a procedure in place to deal with that situation, via a coach's challenge.

They ruled, since there was a procedure and it was not used by the coach, the match stands, with the Cornell wrestler getting the win.
 
Re: Matches 2nite ... Not looking forward to 184

184 Consolation R4:
McCutcheon vs. the winner of the Timothy Dudley (kNU) - Lorenzo Thomas (Penn) Cons R3 match this afternoon

If Thomas wins against Dudley, I will have the unfortunate situation of having to cheer against a PSU wrestler. The guys I coached in high school are the guys I cheer for first. Both Lorenzo and Matt getting upset put me in this bad spot. Love the madness but in this instance, going to hate it.
