Tonight: #13 RU @ #4 OSU, 7pm, BTN TV, lineups &story:

[nitlion6]

Weird sequence in Gravina-Martin...4-1 MyMar after two. Ryan appears to be giving his guy some extra breaths as he challenges after the end of the period instead of after the break in action with 14 seconds left. Goodale not happy

It worked

 

[KidNittany]

Doesn't look like Myles needs any help and he locks up a 9-2 dec

 

[dunkej01]

I think they were picking the B1G champs, not NCAA.

Tim picking Sorenson over Zain was funny. He's never beaten Zain.

You may be right. I saw the pictures and I started typing.

#alternativefacts I guess. After the match Ill have to rewatch this and confirm. but your probably right

 

[nitlion6]

The referee tonight is very decisive but also often very, very wrong. Witness Gravina having the cradle locked at the edge of the mat and not getting 2. Also the VanBrill match was a joke.

Should have put his best out there Friday night.

They split on 149. They agreed on the other weights, including Nolf and Nickal.

 

[matter7172]

Gravina is a total enigma. He stayed with Dean for two periods at the Grapple at the Garden in November, but has looked like dogdoo against Nickal and Martin.

 

[johnstownsteel]

Gravina looks like Lou Ferrigno.

 

[KidNittany]

Exciting first - action dictated by Moore but nice counter TD by Correnti

 

[KidNittany]

And 10-6 after two Moore

 

[KidNittany]

Moore locks up riding time. Match is all him.

 

[KidNittany]

Moore gets the major at the buzzer but will review...match itself was all him. Really fun to watch. I think in some time Correnti will make his own noise as well

Major confirmed - superior effort

 

[nitlion6]

Gravina is a total enigma. He stayed with Dean for two periods at the Grapple at the Garden in November, but has looked like dogdoo against Nickal and Martin.

Could be Gravina expends too much competitive energy looking tough with his stare down technique during introduction.

 

[KidNittany]

Gross showing good quickness but Snyder getting after it as he does...dominating

 

[KidNittany]

Gross has given up. 19-8 after 2

 

[KidNittany]

Spoke a little too soon as RG gave some effort in the third but not enough to prevent the tech after 6 mins. The one takedown in the second period was comical - just laid there. Really hard to tell but Gross has the athleticism that could get him some wins in the next month.

125 fft

 

[nitlion6]

Gross has given up. 19-8 after 2

I don't think he gave up. He tried refocusing, his gas tank is just empty.

 

[Abro1975]

125- Paetzell RU wins by Med Forfeit, Score now 19-18 w the final, the great NATO vs DelVecchio to decide the match.

 

[matter7172]

Two things. One, I take back my takeback. If Gravina had won and tOSU had forfeited 125 as they just did, Rutgers could have won the match. Two, is it possible Kyle Snyder is the worst top wrestler in the history of NCAA champs?

 

[FineMaterial]

tOSU forfeits at 125. Too bad wrestling isn't a major sport there.

 

[matter7172]

tOSU forfeits at 125. Too bad wrestling isn't a major sport there.

500 fans in the stands for a match against a worthy opponent will reinforce that.

 

[KidNittany]

Considering Rodriguez has been injured and been getting owned lately I'm not so surprised by the night off. Probably should get a backup 25 though

 

[21Guns]

Tanman is running out of time. Better get Bojo and Rodriguez back out there soon. T minus 27 days until B1G's.

 

[KidNittany]

Tomo is a freight train. Majors (15-5) and the dual is over 24-18 match score. Good showing for the Jersey dudes

 

[yekrut321]

Thanks to all for the updates!

They had Ashnault as the pick at 141, and Bo at 184, and Pfarr at 197. Every pick was a B1G wrestler. There's no way they picked a B1G wrestler to win the NCAA title at every weight. The Bo and Pfarr picks were against 2 time defending national champs. I think it was definitely the picks to win the B1G.

 

[liex26]

Not defending tOSU, because 500 in attendance is pathetic for this type of dual, but it is a Monday night. Between that and the bad taste in their mouths from PSU dual hype, not much reason to go is there? If the coach doesn't take them serious hard to get your fans to.

You're correct. I replayed it.

 

[yekrut321]

Gravina looks like Lou Ferrigno.

That was great!

 

[pawrestlersintn]

holy smoke, you guys see these predictions for champs....both tim and Jim take Bo over dean.

Tim took sorenson over zain.

Tim took mark hall at 174.

Tim was sober, got drunk, then sobered up again.

 

[johnstownsteel]

That was great!

 

[RoarLions1]

Big Ten picks.

And pretty cool story about Tom Ryan meeting Nevills in the hallway.

 

[yekrut321]

You just need to add a green tint to his skin.

 

[johnstownsteel]

Lol. Told you....spittn' image.

I'm pretty sure it was a rescheduled match, also. But, still - you have the right word, pathetic.

Parents of kids that live right around the corner: Wanna go to the match tonight?
Kids: Is Penn State wrestling again?

Parents: No, they got Rutgers tonight.
Kids: No, we'll take out the trash and do our homework....but thanks anyway...

 

[RoarLions1]

Bust 'em for that if you want. 15338 was pretty good.

 

[royboy]

Bust 'em for that if you want. 15338 was pretty good.

That many there really?

Sure seemed quiet most of the time

 

[RoarLions1]

All I can say is that Mrs. Roar cheered louder than all the Buckeye fans combined...or so it seemed.

 

[a_mshaffer]

this is what happens when duals mean everything and you take a loss... rest of the season doesn't matter, right Mr. TanT?
