The wrestler from Pitt was a very good scrambler. Hopefully Alex comes back in the next round and finishes takedowns.
2023 NCAA Championship Session I Thread
- Thread starter Tom McAndrew
- Start date
I understand the argument, I guess maybe it’s just adjusting expectations. I’ve wanted him and SVN to show an ability to score on opponents that are hard to score on. That’s what’s made so many of our guys different over the years. If you don’t have that, you have to be an absolute rock and be impossible to take down. Right now, he wants to be the former, but he just isn’t at this point. Which is fine! And even understandable! Just not what I want for him in his future.

Starocci/Washington next round. Last one ended interestingly...
Unfortunately, Facundo could be 2 and done. The 4 seed Julian Ramirez got upset by Caleb Fish from MSU so Facundo get Ramirez.
@GregPickel -- I've got to get ready to leave. Can you handle AB's match, and the rest of the PSU wrestlers in Session I?
Just was coming to share that. A problematic result, to say the least.

Single leg shot for Brooks. Waddell tries to fend it off as Brooks hikes his leg up and finishes the takedown with a trip for a 2-0 lead. Cuts to 2-1. AB shoots and scores again as Waddell lost his balance a bit. It's 4-1 with about 40 seconds left in the first. He rides out the period to lead 4-1 after one with 1:15 in RT.
Second period
AB down to start the second. He reverses to 6-1. Then, he cuts to 6-2. Waddell shoots, Brooks counters and scores a takedown. It's now 8-2 with 30 seconds left in the second. The period ends with that score.
Third period
Waddell down. He's out to 8-3. Takedown and cut by AB. It's 10-4. Now, Brooks hammers through a double and goes up 12-4. The riding time point is secured so it's really 13-4, and we'll go with that from here. Brooks working hard for nearfall points but Waddell has fought off the cradle attempts so far. That's it.
AB d. Waddell by major decision, 13-4.

Dean on deck. Anything better than the "I am pretty sure I have time to take the dogs out" and they both hurry to take care of everything so you miss nothing? It's the small wins! Lol.
197 pounds: Max Dean vs. Levi Hopkins, Campbell
First period
Scoreless first. Not much more to say than that.
Second period
Dean Is down, and he's out in 14 seconds. They immediately lock back up. Hopkins hit for stalling. Dean now in on a single leg and he finishes the shot to lead 3-0 as he tries to lock in the bow and arrow. He's working hard for it late in the second. And he just might have it. But, he can't fully lock it up before the end of the period.
Third period
They'll start neutral. Dean shoots and scores 15 seconds in for a 5-0 lead. He is just punishing Hopkins on top but can't turn him yet. Tried to cut him but they go off the edge. On re-start Dean trying everything he can for back points to get a major He cuts with 13 seconds to try for a takedown to get it instead. Dean drops down and can't get a takedown as time expires. Dean gets a riding time point.
Dean d. Hopkins,6-1

Damn it, I want to do Greg's match........
Wrestlers shake hands, circle and that will do it.
Despite Facundo's tough match, excellent round. Nice bonus and we were close to even more. Hopefully a wake up for SVN, must be present all the time. Not sure how this compares to other years results after round one, but the wins and the bonus is what we do.
