2025 B1G Tourney Session I Thread

[GregPickel]

Tyler Kasak, the No. 2 seed at 157 pounds, will face No. 7 Trevor Chumbley of Northwestern in the quarterfinals.

 

[GregPickel]

The top seed at 174 pounds, Levi Haines, will face No. 8 Brody Baumann of Purdue. He beat Lucas Condon of Wisconsin 14-7.

 

[GregPickel]

Big upset at 174: Joseph Walker, the 11 seed from Michigan, over No. 6 Jackson Turley 10-4.

 

[GregPickel]

Carter Starocci will face Indiana's DJ Washington in the quarterfinals at 184 pounds. The Hoosier gave the Nittany Lion his only collegiate loss, but the Penn State star has beaten him every time since.

Carter Starocci will face Indiana's DJ Washington in the quarterfinals at 184 pounds. The Hoosier gave the Nittany Lion his only collegiate loss, but the Penn State star has beaten him every time since.

You might mean his only dual loss. He did lose to Michael Kemerer in the B1G finals his RSFR year or maybe the next year. I can’t remember.

It was Carter’s very first match off his RS and Washington tossed him to his back twice from neutral. He battled back but couldn’t close the gap. It was a heck of a way for an all-time great and 4Xer to start their career.

What's first, consis or championship? Or are they simultaneous?

 

[GregPickel]

Lilledahl - Cruz quarterfinal will be on mat 3.

 

[GregPickel]

What's first, consis or championship? Or are they simultaneous?

I believe they are going to run QFs then consis but not 100 percent sure.

 

[Karl_Havok]

I believe they are going to run QFs then consis but not 100 percent sure.

There is a 125lb QF on mat3 right now (Ramos/Rivera) so I think they are doing QF bouts.

 

[Karl_Havok]

Braeden will be on mat 1 again.

 

[GregPickel]

There is a 125lb QF on mat3 right now (Ramos/Rivera) so I think they are doing QF bouts.

Yeah, but they are still finishing first round at heavyweight. Not sure what they will do on those mats after that.

 

[GregPickel]

Lilledahl: Mat 3

Davis: Mat 1

 

[Karl_Havok]

UPSET ALERT: #1 seed Matt Ramos in a dog fight.

 

[gimb14]

champ then consi

 

[Karl_Havok]

Wowzer. Ramos pins Rivera in SV!

 

[GregPickel]

Purdue's Matt Ramos survives a scare at 125 pounds by pinning Nicolar Rivera of Wisconsin in sudden victory. He's into the semifinals on Luke Lilledahl's side of the bracket. The Penn State freshman is on the mat for his quarterfinal soon.

 

[Karl_Havok]

Yeah, but they are still finishing first round at heavyweight. Not sure what they will do on those mats after that.

Luke up now at least.

 

[LB99]

Cruz deserves a stall warning.

 

[LB99]

Cruz has backed out twice.

 

[Karl_Havok]

Very nice short time TD by LL with 2 seconds to go in the first on the edge of the mat. Up 3-0.

 

[BlueAndWhite86]

Luke gets a takedown to end the 1st

 

[LB99]

Amazing to me how the Iowa knuckledraggers call for stalling when some of their guys are the most obvious at it.

 

[LB99]

Beautiful ankle pick.

 

[ElDuce]

Again at the end of a period... lightning strikes twice

 

[LB99]

Make him pay for all the clubbing Luke. Smash him into the mat for the next 2 minutes.

 

[ElDuce]

Lol. Pushed him put

First period
After a nearly scoreless opening period, Lilledahl shoots late and scores off a single leg on the edge to take a 3-0 lead after one.

Second period
Lilledahl chooses down. He escapes after just three seconds for a 4-0 lead. Cruz shoots on a good single and but Lilledahl gets in a good defensive position and fends it off until a stalemate is called. With 33 seconds left Lilledahl ankle picks Cruz and scores for a 7-0 lead before riding out the period.

Third period
Cruz takes the bottom position. Lilledahl gets his riding time up over a minute and then cuts him to 7-1. Stalling on Cruz. Off a restart Lilledahl shoots and scores for a 10-1 lead. He finishes with 1:45 in riding time and wins, 11-1. He'll face Matt Ramos, the No. 1 seed, of Purdue in the semifinals.

 

[ElDuce]

From a tech fall to a major decision is iowa, going to count that is closing the gap?

 

[Karl_Havok]

Nice win by LL. He bullied him around and on the mat for 7 minutes.

 

[Karl_Havok]

Davis up now. Let's see if he can beat Shawver a second time.

 

[SRATH]

Cruz should have had multiple stall calls against him.

I could see it from my den

 

[GregPickel]

Davis coming up now on Mat 1.

Bartlett on deck mat 1.

 

[ElDuce]

Look like 3 to me, but I'll take it....

 

[ElDuce]

That's twice Davis

 

[BlueAndWhite86]

Come on Davis, stop it with the close stuff

 

[NittPicker]

Shawver carrying Davis around is funny. He doesn't get any points for it and it just wears him down. That said, Davis tends to get himself into precarious situations.

 

[ElDuce]

That's twice Davis

Thrice.....

 

[Karl_Havok]

No way that was a TD.

 

[GregPickel]

133 pound quarterfinal: No. 4 Braeden Davis vs. No. 5 Dylan Shawver, Rutgers

First period
A good scramble late in the first period led to no points. Shawver was close to three but did not get it. It's 0-0 after one.

Second period
Shawver picks neutral to start the second period. Davis shoots but Shawver fends it off well as they go under a minute to wrestle in the middle period. Shawver picked Davis up late off a single but couldn't finish the shot again. It's 0-0 after two.

Third period
Davis takes down and escapes quick to 1-0. Shawver ducks in on another good single and lifts Davis up, carries him around the mat, and then carries him off of it. That was odd. Davis ducks in on a great single but Shawver initially rolls through and catches Davis but Davis comes up through the legs as they continue to scramble Davis stays on the leg but Shawver comes around and gets the takedown late, 3-1. Penn State challenged the call but the call on the mat stood. Shawver wins.

Davis heads to the consolation bracket.

 

[ElDuce]

Davis had no offense in that match....
