Circling & head taps by Molton. McHenry with a very low stance & is down on one knee now. Stoppage & restart, 50-sec left. Both wrestlers are tying up their knees now, then they move back to their feet. McHenry shoots, but no luck. Molton pushes forward a little, but then time expires. 0-0
Period 2:

No clue but it was very, very clearly fleeing the mat
Certainly not a good look at the end! Casey not happy with Kurt at all.
I was surprised by that one & then got distracted, but I've updated the PBP now.
I knew you would. I was just putting groceries away and missed it entirely so I was briefly miffed.
He should have just felt fortunate he didn't allow 3 and was able to flee the mat and only give up 1.
yea, but the urgency in the last 15 seconds could have come in handy in the first 6 minutes
Yeah and when you only shoot in the last 24 seconds not sure you have much of a case.
Well it kinda shoulda been given in the pierce match.. lol
It could be called a ton, IMO. And doing so would quiet some of the calls to add a step out to folk.
This was also one of the more egregious cases you’ll see. Ran off the mat in rear standing. Would’ve be C2 in freestyle so it’s not like Kurt doesn’t know how this works
TJ made no attempt to get off his back!
You know who my favorite desperate housewife is……..you!!!!
I wouldn't be surprised if Casey sits Kurt out of the 5th place match.
Looks like there was a team point deducted—110.5 now. And rightly so.
Not unless they changed the rules, but did McHenry already have a stall warning?
I guess more was shown live. The replay shows him animated, but not so incredibly out of line as to potentially sit him.
I don’t know the rules like I used to, but they changed fleeing to stalling. It cost PSU a match against Minnesota probably 10 years ago or so when Zack Beitz was dinged a point for fleeing and it should have been a stall warning.
I was assuming here, McHenry already had a warning.
Did you see him slapping his opponents hand when ref asked him to shake hands?
McHenry has no one to blame but himself. Both matches today he didn’t wrestle like he can. Headscratching performances
Read about Lou Banach of Iowa. Competed when Heavyweight was unlimited. Won 2 National Titles(only 3 years eligible ,got beat his junior year ). He pinned 350 pound Tab Thacker, and beat 400 pound Shelton in semis his junior year . He weighed around 210 pounds.

I've been wanting collegiate folk refs to call fleeing for years... About time. Sucks that it was on McHenry, but stop rewarding the athlete leaving the competitive surface.
I just read over on Turks board that only PSU "high" recruits were doing well at the Scuffle.
Pierce listed as being a Kaleb Young - Murin level recruit for us. Despite not being ranked in the top 250 (Murin in the 30s, Young in the 20s).
Alternative reality...
