125 Cons. R4: Conaway vs. David Terao (American) on mat 2 ...
Per 1:
Terao gets a TD at 2:20 on a shrugby, and they are OOB at 2:18. Conway gets cut at 2:11, 1-2. Terao with another TD on the same move, and OOB at 1:48, 1-4. Seems to be a challenge. Byers hasn't a clue, as he was too busy watching Gilman get pinned. A long review, but they award an esc to JC, so it's 2-4. OOB at 1:18. Caution on JC on the restart. Action is stopped with 1 min left -- everybody is pointing -- appears the ref made a mistake so they restart on their feet. Terao with another throw attempt but nothing, and a stalemate at 32 sec. JC shoots, nothing, throw by Terao, and nothing. Correction, no 2nd TD and esc, so it's 1-2.
Per 2:
JC takes bottom. JC up and out in 7 sec, 2-2. Terao shoots badly and JC spins behind for the TD, 4-2. Terao tries to roll through, nothing. JC riding well. Terao up to feet and back down to mat. Terao is flat. Terao up to feet and they are OOB with 47 sec. Another roll but nothing. JC riding well. Terao tries to sit out, and nearly gets stuck to mat, but nothing. JC tries a cradle, nothing. Great ride. A rideout.
Per 3:
Terao takes bottom. Caution on Terao. Up to feet. 1:30 in RT for JC. Terao tries a roll and gets a rev, 4-4. He quickly cuts JC, 5-4. Terao shoots poorly, JC on a leg, Terao with a split. Whizzer and sprawl, finally a stalemate at 26 sec. Terao with a bad shot and JC with the go behind for a TD with 14 sec, 7-4. With RT, it's 8-5 JC. He's an AA!!!!!!!
He wrestles later 2nite to see if he's in the Cons. semis or the 7/8 match tomorrow.

133 Semis: Gulibon vs. Cory Clark (Iowa) on mat 4 ...
they meet again.
Per 1:
Jimmy in early on a leg, Clark with a split and a whizzer, Jimmy trying to work behind, and a stalemate at 2:29. Clark with a reach, nohting. Ear to ear in the center. Both really pushing in. 1 min left. Clark shoots, nothing. Jimmy nearly with a snap by counter but nothing. Stalemate at 27 sec. End
Per 2:
Blood time for Jimmy, it appears. Jimmy takes bottom. Too his feet, but taken back down. Clark throws in legs, but they are out. Jimmy sits out and gets a rev at 1:26, 2-0. Esc at 1:18 for CLark, 2-1. OOB at 1:05. Shove by Clark. Jimmy in on a leg, close, Clark with a nice counter and Clark gets the TD, 2-3. 30 sec left. Jimmy in a sitout, nothing. Jimmy is flat. End
Per 3:
Clark takes bottom. Up quikcly, back down. RT under a min. Esc for Clark, 2-4. Jimmy shoots, blocked. He shoots again, blocked, but drops to a double, and somehow Clark fights it off and gets the TD, that was a surprise, 2-6. RT now over 1 min. Clark throws in legs. Jimmy is up, now down in a sit out and esc, 3-6. 37 sec. left. RT is locked. Jimmy needs to shoot. On the edge, adn Jimmy gets the TD, 5-6 just before the buzzer. With RT, it's 5-7, and Gulibon drops to consolations.
2 different times Jimmy seemed to have a TD, and just didn't finish, and ended up giving up a TD. That was the difference in the match.
I should add that Byers went crazy on the 2nd TD by Clark, and claimed that the ref had waved off a TD by Jimmy. He also stated he thought it was worth a challenge. I've watched 2 replays, and I don't see the ref waving off a TD by Jimmy. In addition, a challenge was not warranted, as PSU would not have won -- not even close.

Re: 133 Semis: Gulibon vs. Cory Clark (Iowa) on mat 4 ...
That's junk wrestling from Clark. Whatever gets the job done, sure, but the kid didn't take ONE shot the entire match.

Jimmy in on 3-4 singles and couldn't finish. Meanwhile Clark counter wrestles to victory. Jimmy has has issues with finishing this year but has gotten better. He looked like he wanted to push the action and just got caught in some bad positions.
Re: 133 Semis: Gulibon vs. Cory Clark (Iowa) on mat 4 ...
Not sure what match you watched bud, but Clark never came forward or shot in that match.

Re: 133 Semis: Gulibon vs. Cory Clark (Iowa) on mat 4 ...
I'm a Penn State fan and I completely disagree. The reason Jimmy lost that match is because he didn't finish his shots and because he got sloppy in key situations. Also, when Jimmy was on top he showed no ability to ride and keep Clark down on the mat. As much as I would have liked to see Jimmy win, Clark earned it.

That was one I almost couldn't watch.
Not only a Penn State wrestler, but facing an Iowa guy (1 strike against) and a wrestler I really don't like (2 strikes against).
It seems like Evans' strategy was to keep Brown's hands off the collar. Still didn't work.

Mac in on an ankle, drives thru to the other leg, and gets the TD, 4-1 with 1 min. OOB with 46 sec. Burak up to his feet, but OOB with 18 sec left. Burak up again, and esc as they go OOB with 11 sec. 4-2. End

125:

133:
Gulibon vs. #9 seed A.J.Schopp (Edinboro) in the consolation semis
174:
Brown vs. #8 seed Tyler Wilps (Pitt) in the finals tomorrow night
197:
McIntosh vs. #1 seed J'Den Cox (Mizzou) in the consolation semis
285:
Lawson vs. #2 seed Michael McMullan (NW) in the consolation semis
The upsets late tonight in the Championship bracket semis of J'Den Cox and Mike McMullan did not help PSU.
I believe Gulibon will be the only PSUer that is the higher seed in their respective matches.
If you win the consolation semis, then you wrestle for the 3rd/4th place. If you lose the consolation semis then you wrestle for 5th/6th place.

I just don't understand Evans' approach ...
some guys are natural counter shooters, but they generally pounce as soon as a shot by their opponent is blocked. Evans seems to want to push into his opponent, but doesn't seem to do much with the movement he creates.
Evans very nearly had a TD at the end of 2nite's match with Brown, which shows he can shoot if he wants to.
I'd also add that this was the 3rd match between Brown and Evans this season. Other than choosing neutral in the 3rd period of 2nite's match, what changes did you see from Evans? As he was the guy that lost the 2 prior matches, you'd expect some different approaches. It seemed as though his basic game plan was to do what he's done in the past, and hope for either better execution, or a mistake by Brown.
If you look at the score of the 3 matches between them, it's obvious that the difference between them is incredibly small.
I felt the 4 best guys at the weight class were Kokesh, Brown, Evans and Storley in that order. While I thought that Kokesh would win it all, I also felt that the difference between them was so small that each of them could win the title. So the NCAA, in their infinite wisdom puts Brown, Evans, and Storley in the same bracket half. Evans knocked off Storley in the quarters, and Brown knocked of Evans in the semis. I just didn't expect to see Kokesh lose to Wilps

Evans very nearly had a TD at the end of 2nite's match with Brown, which shows he can shoot if he wants to.
I'd also add that this was the 3rd match between Brown and Evans this season. Other than choosing neutral in the 3rd period of 2nite's match, what changes did you see from Evans? As he was the guy that lost the 2 prior matches, you'd expect some different approaches. It seemed as though his basic game plan was to do what he's done in the past, and hope for either better execution, or a mistake by Brown.
If you look at the score of the 3 matches between them, it's obvious that the difference between them is incredibly small.
I felt the 4 best guys at the weight class were Kokesh, Brown, Evans and Storley in that order. While I thought that Kokesh would win it all, I also felt that the difference between them was so small that each of them could win the title. So the NCAA, in their infinite wisdom puts Brown, Evans, and Storley in the same bracket half. Evans knocked off Storley in the quarters, and Brown knocked of Evans in the semis. I just didn't expect to see Kokesh lose to Wilps
