I’m torn by the quick pin by BB. Two different thoughts:

1) Get your 6 points, get off the mat, go drill with Davis. Stay healthy.

2) Get reps against unfamiliar competitor, learn. Get a tech.

With Volk and Novak out, Hill was easily the best remaining starter.

This is gonna be a shutout -- in takedowns.
 
This is a ridiculous challenge btw. Hill was not that far off the mat.
Probably just a lung break to avoid the tech. Gotta wonder if there's illness running through their room. 2 guys out and every one of their wrestlers looks like they're struggling with conditioning issues. Maybe they're training through? /s
 
I’ve heard the announcers say Kasak was #1 in one of the polls? Also just saw a tweet from Wyoming that #1 Kasak gets a major over #19 Hill.

Who has Kasak #1? Not Flo or Intermat

Yeah, don't know why JB said Wyoming had no takedowns. Misinformation.

Not sure you should trust a guy who pronounces "sixth" as "Sith."

Every announcer who doesn't understand wrestling is obsessed with riding time. My theory is that it's the only thing they understand so they lean on it.

I think the thing that bothers me about the student broadcast is not that they don’t know wrestling, that’s not surprising, but they always try to act like they do and as a result they end up confidently saying ridiculous things
Yep. It's not a problem for us but for a non-wrestling fan who tunes in they actually come away knowing less than before they started watching.
