NCAA Wrestling Championship: Session 3, Friday

[Badger Pete]

"March Matness" restarts in 30 minutes.

1. Two tough matches for Van Dee and Pinto on the wrestle backs. I am hoping Lenny can shake round one off and finish his shots.
2. Lovett, Allred, and Hardy were all scored on first. Lovett and Allred were taken to their backs. Need to get out to a fast start and finish shots.
3. Nice start for Christopher Minto and Antrell Taylor. Both dominated.

Huskers, LFG!!!

9 Caleb Smith vs 8 Seymour Lehigh up first

 

[Badger Pete]

Caleb with no shots through 2 minutes. Trying to go upper body with a guy who looks much stronger.

 

[Badger Pete]

Caleb takes down to start the 2nd

 

[Badger Pete]

Caleb tries a gator-roll and Lehigh defends and buts him on this back. 6-1 to start the 3rd.

 

[Badger Pete]

Too stalling calls in favor of Caleb, but too little, too late. 7-3 Lehigh

 

[Badger Pete]

Van Dee gassed up!!! 10-2 at start of the 2nd

 

[Badger Pete]

Van Dee 13-2 at start of the 3rd. He is wrestling with an attitude

 

[PvilleHuskerTim]

Hardy with a tech fall.

 

[Badger Pete]

Wow! Kyle Parco was up 6-1, but had serious knee injury. He was walking around like my grandfather who is long passed dead. He kept going but lost 8-6. I don't like Iowa, but Parco is a warrior for trying. And maybe stupid as well.

 

[Badger Pete]

Ridge with boney's!!!! Tech fall 15-0.

Gets the Huskers into 2nd place.

 

[PvilleHuskerTim]

Lovett with a tech fall. Looked good in period 1 building an 11-0 lead, then seemed to relax and kind of cruised the rest of the way.

Great analysis, Pville! He looked so relaxed. He coasted and he KNEW he was going to get the T-Fall for the team.

 

[PvilleHuskerTim]

Taylor with the fall in about :45!!!

 

[Badger Pete]

Are you kidding me? Antrell Taylor with a quasi-cobra/hip toss for a stick in the first period!!!!

 

[Badger Pete]

Taylor with the fall in about :45!!!

Incredible!!!!!!

 

[PvilleHuskerTim]

Great analysis, Pville! He looked so relaxed. He coasted and he KNEW he was going to get the T-Fall for the team.

It did look like 1-2 times when he relaxed that he almost got caught. One time was darn near getting put on his back.

 

[Badger Pete]

Messinbrink is the most dominate wrestler in the tourny. So sad he wasn't discovered by any team not Penn State.

 

[PvilleHuskerTim]

Minto with the MD. Wrestled with aggression.

 

[PvilleHuskerTim]

JB doing color is a bonus. He is very good in that role.

 

[Badger Pete]

Lenny throwing half shots, then gets re-shot. Same as his first match.

 

[PvilleHuskerTim]

Allred down late in P3, but gets a takedown to tie the match and goes straight into a near fall position — then gets the fall.

 

[skintight]

Just WOW Silas

 

[Badger Pete]

Heart attack kids at work!

First, Leaping Lenny Pinto down the entire match. Then a major upper body throw to win in the OT.

Then, Silas Allred, down 4-1 with an upper body throw with 10 seconds left for a pin!!

I love this team!!!!

Love that the wrestleback kids performed!!!

Manning = Coach of the Year!

 

[PvilleHuskerTim]

Amazing. Penn State has not lost a single match yet. They are 20-0 as a team. All of them have made the quarterfinals.

They are a machine there.

11 of the last 13 National championships. 1 runner up and 6th in 2015. Wow.

GOAT program!

 

[cubsker]

Crazy how good they are.

 

[Walleye79]

Sanderson is a crazy good coach and Pennsylvania is absolutely loaded with talented highschool wrestlers. That’s the perfect recipe for success

 

[cubsker]

Ridge -250 in a rematch vs Webster (Illinois).

Hardy -500 vs Frost (ISU)

Taylor -360 vs Bianhci (Harvard)

Minto +240 vs Barraclaugh (UVU)

Silas +375 vs Plott (okie light, i think)

Gable -2800 if you need a couple dollars.

 

[Badger Pete]

OSU Spratley over Purdue Ramos #2. Not a huge upset, but Okie State is doing well under Taylor.

 

[cubsker]

Wow, Lilledahl goes down. Was a chunky underdog.

 

[cubsker]

Great win by Smith. A takedown with 10 sec left to go to sudden and then a long drawn out sequence that finally ended in a takedown to win it. Good to see some offense from him.

Seymour was tough last night had Caleb without much stress.

 

[cubsker]

Van Dee lucky. Got taken down at the buzzer. Review confirms too late.

Thanks for taking over the updates, Cubsker!!! I am working but reading your posts.

 

[cubsker]

Brock put on a clinic. First Rd takedown, rode him out. 2nd rd takedown, into a pin. Dude is on fire.

 

[cubsker]

Bartlett and Mendez easy QF wins.

Ridge coming up next.

 

[cubsker]

[cubsker]
