141 Championship R2: #2 seed Beau Bartlett vs. #15 seed Mitch Moore, Rutgers -- I'll use MM for him

Per 1
Not much thru 1:30. Stalemate with 1:28 left. End (Let it fly, Beau)

Per 2
Beau takes bottom. Beau works up, stands, and is out in 22 sec, 1-0. Beau sort of shoots, nothing. Stalemate with 37 sec left. End. RT @ 22 sec for MM

Per 3
MM takes bottom. Moore to 4-point, nothing, but then he's away in @ 26 sec, 1-1. RT is not a factor. Beau in on a single and locks a cradle and gets the pin!!!!! 5:49 is the time of the pin!!!

Quick pin. Ref lost his HS sweetheart to a Rutgers guy - ref getting his revenge.

In HS (basically anything younger than college), to get a pin you have to hold the shoulders or shoulder blades for 1 sec. There are lots of instances I have in HS were they have it for a micro-second, but don't hold it to get the pin.

In college, all you have to do is get the shoulders or shoulder blades to the mat, and it's a pin. So, fast calls in college seem wrong to those used to high school rules, but they are correct by college rules.

ESPN’s total coverage is just amateur hour. Especially the Steven A Smith wannabe on play by play.
Might have to turn it on just to hear the awfulness of this. Impossible to be worse than when Gus Johnson covered Strikeforce.

How does espn stay on a stupid woods match thats is concluded-- when Bartlett is wrestling??

still waiting on that vaunted PIN ZONE where is it?
espn has been horrible..in the first 1hr and 20 minute they have had Penn State on for 1 minute of the Davis match....and the announcer is aggravating as hell. They have more commercials than they do wrestling!!!!

I don’t think ESPN wants to focus on PSU since everyone thinks this championship is PSU’s to lose, so they are going to focus on other matches.
It’s much like BTNs coverage of the conference championships. They’re going to be covering Penn State a bunch on Sunday, so why waste time now.

Woods is a great story, the meme from last year is priceless. Iowa is the second largest draw at this tourney, do not want to lose that market share.
