2024 NCAA Championship Session I Thread
- Thread starter Tom McAndrew
- Start date
That's well and good but it was a very uninspired effort against a #23 seed.
Not a ton of bashing of the kid, he just didn't wrestle well.
I thought he was maybe flicking blood away at first but yeah, something to keep an eye on.
He as definitely concerned about something after the first. It was when Lujan was trying to pry his hands off for an escape.
Well you better bring it each match. UVA guy brought it!
Beau majored Miller less than 2 months ago and he comes out like this
141: Beau Bartlett vs. Kal Miller (MD) -- I'll use KM
Per 1:
I missed the first 1:30 due to the Braeden Davis match. Looks like a video review on whether KM got a TD (not awarded in real time). Come on review guys -- Kasak is up next on Mat 3. Call is confirmed: no TD. 0-0. Under 1 left. Beau in on a single, they scramble, but time runs out.
Per 2
Bartlett takes bottom. Caution on KM. Bartlett to his feet, but they go OOB with 1:47 left. Beau works up again, and finally gets out, 1-0. KM with 43 sec of RT. Back to ear-to-ear. End RT @ 43 sec for KM
Per 3
KM takes bottom. Beau riding well. And then KM gets out, 1-1. RT down to 14 sec for KM, so it's not a factor. Stoppage for PD. Beau in on a double, they scramble, KM holding on to a leg, quite a scramble, and Beau is awarded the TD and then 2 NF just at the end of the match. 6-1 DEC for Beau

He doesn't want to be offensive. He hangs on the head and tries to wrestle out of the front headlock position and it's frustrating. He has good leg attacks and doesn't use them.
Beau gonna take years off my life......
Bartlett with the rally at the end. Never a dull moment when he wrestles.
Bartlett is just asking to get upset with his passive approach.
Did our guys stay up all night? Not a lot of energy from the 1st 3 PSU wrestlers.
Bartlett will face No. 15 Mitch Moore of Rutgers in the second round. They did not meet in the dual meet. Moore upset Cole Matthews of Pitt 7-2.
Yup. Wrestle to win, not to lose. Bartlett has so much talent and won’t let it loose.
Another note for Bartlett: Seven-seed Cael Happel was upset at 141 on Bartlett's side of the bracket.
I would have preferred to not see the aggressive Beau that beat Woods and Mendez in the regular season. At least then my expectations would be managed.
could be... to me he just starts so slow and cautious he always gets behind and has to play catch up every match. It's a hard way to wrestle and puts a ton of pressure on you for period 2/3. To me (playing armchair qb) he should throw caution to the wind and come out firing and see what happens because right now it isn't working for him.
we look like a totally different team from the B10...what is wrong...no aggression at all..so sad
The coaches were yelling at Tyler to cut him and he just wouldn't. He burned 10 seconds on that.
Absolutely ridiculous that Kasak rode him in the third for that long and even after being yelled at to cut him he just wouldn't do it. What a weird match and 100% on Tyler there for not just cutting him right away in the third. Wow.
Just cannot finish takedowns today. Very slow start. Except for Levi.
Tyler had an early takedown and missed it.

149: #7 seed Tyler Kasak vs. #26 seed Jaden Abas (Stanford) -- I'll use JA
Per 1
Kasak in quickly on a low single, they scramble, nothing awarded, Kasak is trying to free his leg, they keep scrambling, and a stalemate with 1:57 left. Damn, I thought he was going to get it. Kasak in but they are OOB. Ironhead is giving a life history on JA, instead of doing PBP. End
Per 2
Kasak takes bottom. He's out quickly, 1-0. JA in on a single, he elevates Kasak's leg and has him dancing, Kasak gets the leg free, then JA with a double for the TD, 1-3. End RT @ 6 sec for JA
Per 3
JA takes bottom. Kasak with a good ride, and gets RT in his direction. He cuts JA, 1-4. 1 min left. Kasak in on a single, has JA dancing, they are on the edge, and OOB with 23 sec left. Kasak chasing him, and JA is fleeing, and gets hit with stall calls (1 point) but time runs out. JA with a 2-4 DEC over Tyler Kasak.
That was not an outcome I was expecting
