NCAA Wrestling Championship: Session 4, Friday Night

[Badger Pete]

Thanks for all the guys that are following on the thread, posting, and commentating!!!!

So surprised to the lack of followers. Nebraska battling for #2 in the national championship. What other sport do we have to get even top #20?

Maybe everybody is watching from home and supporting the Huskers silently.

Whatever the case, dock Hoiberg's pay and give 30% to Mark Manning!

Im watching the semis. Didn’t get a chance to watch quarters. But followed the thread

 

[StoneTempleHusker]

LFG!

Back to back to back to back.

 

[PvilleHuskerTim]

Hardy to the finals!

 

[StoneTempleHusker]

Hardy flat dominates 10-3 in a match never in doubt. On to the Finals!

 

[cubsker]

Mendez again, will be tough but he can do it

 

[PvilleHuskerTim]

Lovett to the finals!

 

[StoneTempleHusker]

2 for 2. Lovett hangs on to get his Finals bid.

 

[cubsker]

What a first period for ridge.

 

[Huskertransplant]

Let's get these next two! And how many are there in wrestlebacks?

Said all 9 are still alive earlier. Hard to believe. Gotta check the brackets.

 

[StoneTempleHusker]

Antrell makes it 3 for 3!

 

[PvilleHuskerTim]

Make it 3 in a row. Taylor to the finals. Helluva a 3rd period.

Gotta love it. Probably beat a better dude with heart and strength there.

 

[PvilleHuskerTim]

Penn State 101.0 team points
Huskers 98.0 team points

 

[PvilleHuskerTim]

Smith, Van Dee, and Allred win in the blood round and will be AA. Pinto loses. McDanel still to wrestle in blood round.

 

[StoneTempleHusker]

Outstanding evening.

Minto looks to be overmatched here. Happens for a 12 seed Frosh.

 

[PvilleHuskerTim]

Minto battles hard but loses to Mesenbrink.

Yeah amazing how many only pick what husker sports they support and how everything else is a drain

Gable Steveson and Mesenbrink are the 2 most dominant wrestlers in the country.

 

[Huskerchief]

My first championship experience in Philly. So awesome to see Nebraska wrestle so well!

 

[PvilleHuskerTim]

McDanel wins in blood round.

 

[Huskertransplant]

Fantastic job by the team. Can't wait to watch tomorrow. We are sitting good on team points.

 

[Huskertransplant]

So we have 7 wrestling still?

66, Not sure what you mean. Please expand if you are looking for a discussion or if you just left a comment that I don’t understand.

Go Red!

We have 8. Only Pinto is out.

 

[Tahoe78]

Gable Steveson and Mesenbrink are the 2 most dominant wrestlers in the country.

What about Starocci?

 

[skintight]

8 damn AA's and 3 finalists

WOW

McDanel ---i said very early in the year when he was taking some lumps that he would come on strong at the end---alot of it is between his ears------when he;s confident he wrestles so damn hard

 

[PvilleHuskerTim]

What about Starocci?

Close. Won’t argue too much.

Dude had a very good high school career, he has a high ceiling at Nebraska! I’m excited for him and Van Dee.

 

[HuskerInCarolina]

Silas Allred loses and will wrestle for 7th.

 

[HuskerInCarolina]

McDanel loses and will wrestle for 7th.

 

[skintight]

needed those consi points though

 

[HuskerInCarolina]

needed those consi points though

Yep. Gonna need Minto to win his consi semis, and need Smith, Van Dee, Allred, and McDanel to get bonus points in their medal match tomorrow. I wouldn’t expect any of our finalists to get bonus points tomorrow, all 3 should be tight matches.

 

[skintight]

So much grit from Van Dee he had alot of energy during the wrestlebacks and he too punched above his weight

 

[HuskerInCarolina]

Absolutely. We’re in 2nd place because of guys like JVD, McDanel. JVD has beaten some studs in his career already, he’s finally put together some consistent matches and had himself a great tournament.

 

[xrugger]

Impressive showing by the Husker matmen. Two of the three finalists are a higher seed. Really hoping to hold off Okie Light. Finishing 2nd in the NCAA tourney would be quite an accomplishment and a total team achievement.

 

[skintight]

I suspect that we will need 2 champions to retain 2nd place
