2025 B1G Tourney Session II Thread
- Thread starter Tom McAndrew
- Start date
Smith sprinting away from Starocci as fast as he can. 1 stall in that period is a joke.
184 Semi: #1 seed Carter Starocci vs. #5 seed Jaxon Smith (Maryland)
I'll use JS for Smith
Per 1
CStar shoots, nothing. Stopped for stalemate with 2:03 left. CStar with an underhook at the edge, JS with a whizzer, and they go OOB with 1:09 left. Stoppage as JS gets poked in the eye. CStar gets a single on the very edge, he tries to pull him in, but then goes OOB as he dives for the other ankle. Stall warning on SM. CStar in on a single but OOB with 0:02 left. End
Per 2
CStar takes bottom. He works up, and is out in 7 sec, 1-0. CStar in on a single, again on the edge, JS does a split, CStar trying to pull him back in, and he gets the TD, 4-0. OOB with 0:54 left. JS on a knee, CStar bring him down and flattens him. CStar really working the right wrist. End. RT @ 1:00 for CStar.
Per 3
JS takes bottom. MS to his feet, and he's out in 6 sec, 4-1. JS working the edge again, and a stall warning against JS as they go OOB, 5-1. JS sort of shoots, and CStar with a counter for a TD, 8-1. JS is quickly flattened. Cstar cuts him, 8-2. OOB with 0:47 left. CStar shoots, but they go OOB with 0:33 left. CStar in on a head outside single, and gets the TD with 8 sec left, 11-2. With 1:54 in RT, it's a 12-2 MAJOR

Sadly, if he just wrestled he probably doesn’t get taken down.
197 Semi: #2 seed Josh Barr vs. #3 seed Jacob Cardenas (Michigan)
I'll use JC for Cardenas
This should be interesting
Per 1
JC to his knees right off the whistle. Fortunately, he doesn't stay there. Stalemate with 1:40 left (and not a lot of action so far). No real shots. End
Per 2
Barr takes bottom. Barr to his feet, returned, to his feet, and peels away in 11 sec, 1-0. And back to ear-to-ear. JC sort of reaches, nothing. Barr nearly shoots, but doesn't. End. Another period with no real shots. RT @ 0:11 for JC
Per 3
JC takes bottom. JC to his feet, returned, and they go OOB with 1:56 left. JC sits out and gets the esc, 1-1, Barr shoots, JC with a whizzer, and they go OOB with 1:33 left. First decent shot of the match. JC seems to be content to not have any offense. End RT @ 0:01 for Barr
SV-1
Barr reaches, but JC to his knees, nothing. JC sort of shoots from center field, and Barr sort of countered, but nothing. Stoppage with 1:23 for hand to the face (I think). Barr shoots, nothing. JC shoots, Barr counters, then JC gets a single, but JC gets the TD. 1-4 DEC for JC with 0:51 left in SV-1

From Greg before session one. Won't let me paste the picture
Just love how the B1GNetwork only interviews wrestlers who just beat a PSU’er.
285 Semi: #2 Greg Kerkvliet vs. #3 Josh Heindselman (Michigan)
I'll use JM for Josh
Per 1
Kerk in on a single and gets the TD, 3-0. He has JH flattened. JH not doing much on bottom, though Kerk not doing a lot on top. RT goes over 1 min. Ref seems to want more action. Stalemate with 1:19 left. JH to his feet, turns, and he's out, 3-1. Kerk nearly falls underneath JH, but doesn't, and OOB with 0:21 left. End. RT @ 1:21 for Kerk
Per 2
Kerk takes bottom. He works up, and is out in 5 sec, 4-1. Kerk in on a single and spins behind for the TD, 7-1. Stall warning on JH who is flat as a pancake. Stall call on Kerk stops action with 0:20 left. End. RT @ 2:27 for Kerk
Per 3
JH takes bottom. Kerk gets him flattened after a bit. Kerk traps the right arm, and a stall call on JH makes it 8-1. Kerk working a bit of a crossface, then seemed to try a bow-and-arrow, but gives up on that and switches to just controlling. End. With 4:27 in RT, it's a 9-1 MAJ for Kerk

I'd love nothing more than to see Greg pull Cassar 2.0
Because they'll interview plenty tomorrow
PSU advances 6 wrestlers to the finals
The other 4 PSU wrestlers will be in the consolation semis.

They usually head straight to the back to do post-match stuff. Not defending BTN as it did strike me as odd too but I also know how quickly the Penn State guys typically bounce and don't return.
What a wild semifinals. Great night for NE.
Felt LL had a 50/50 shot of winning and he goes out and dominates.
BD still alive for 3rd
Did not like the match up for BB vs the Minny kid, but expected him to find a way and didn’t.
Van Ness destroyed the IL kid in the dual and looked gassed tonight in the loss.
Kasak stopped the bleeding with authority.
MM did what he was supposed to do despite getting taken down for the first time this year.
Levi rounding into post season form. Has a big one with Pinto. Not sure where the so called reaction rule was in Pinto’s match. That’s not a TD if you factor reaction time in. Almost everything went NE’s way in the semi’s.
CS doing CS things.
Felt Barr’s match was 50/50. He dominates on his feet and can’t get close to a TD in 2 matches vs Cardenas.
Kerk looked good and has a showdown with Gable.
Feel good about LL, MM, Levi and CS winning Big Ten crowns. I love what I’m seeing from kasak, but a little concerned as Cannon is red hot.
I wish Kerk the best. Gable is phenomenal and is what’s even scarier is he is way bigger and stronger than he ever was. Feldman is a big dude and he makes him look small.

It was well deserved. 4+ minutes of RT and Kerk only gets 1 stall point?
When Kerk got called for stalling on top, Casey was all over the ref. He was yelling, “How are you supposed to turn a guy flat on his belly?”
It happens every year. This is nothing new. Penn State gets so much coverage during finals, they make it a point to focus on others before then. B1Gs and NCAAs

Never a good feeling when the Outstanding Wrestler of the Day is being awarded to a wrestler that competed against a PSU wrestler.
