2025 B1G Tourney Session III Thread
- Thread starter Tom McAndrew
- Start date
Arnold just ran out of bounds in sudden victory to prevent a takedown. No stall
197 Consolation Semis: #2 seed Josh Barr vs. #4 seed Isaiah Salazar (Minnesota)
I'll use IS for Salazar.
IS can be dangerous -- not a wrestler to underestimate.
Per 1
IS in on a single, Barr sprawls, they scramble, and go OOB, with 2:12 left. Barr a little gimpy after the stoppage, and he's on injury time. It seems to be his left knee -- not certain. He's going to continue. IS in on the legs and gets a TD, 3-0. They are stopping it for an injury default @ 1:07.
Barr may wrestle for 5th place later today -- only time will tell if he wrestles or defaults that match.
Ugh

Yeah, about the only thing you don't want to see (an injury) on Day 2 of B1Gs after you're already qualified for Nationals. smh
Damn!!! Seems like every year PSU has a guy go down with an injury. Barr’s had a great year and would suck if he can’t compete at NCAA’s.
if he injury defaults, yes. If he recovers and wins tonight, he'll finish 5th
It's times like these when I question if there's a God.

Hopefully, 
they just decided to pull the plug on that match and play it safe.

Unfortunately, I don't think that's the case.Hopefully,
I'm going to take a break (i.e., step away from the tournament), and get a few things done before Session IV. See you guys later.
Unfortunately, it looks worse than that. Salazar got a bloody nose at the same time Barr hurt his knee. So the match stopped for blood time. Barr was having issues putting weight on his knee. After blood time was over, he tried to go and it gave out giving up a TD. They stopped it after the TD and defaulted out.Hopefully,
If it’s severe, I’m guessing there was zero chance the staff lets him go out at all. Then it’s just an honest discussion between Barr and staff. See CStar circa 2024.
Agree. Carter’s injury occurred during the last duel meet and defaulted out of Big Ten’s so he had 4 weeks to heal, rehab and prepare mentally. Barr has less than 2 weeks.
They made it members only to keep people like me from overloading the site
Penn State wrestling starter suffers injury at Big Ten tournament
Penn State wrestling starter Josh Barr suffered an injury on day two of the Big Ten Championships in Evanston.
I’m not complaining about it. Just explaining what I think the rationale is
According to the brackets on Trackwrestling, Barr’s already MFOR’d.
Yes, he has medically forfeited already.
If their site was getting overloaded, it was probably in severe need of upgrading.
It will be Barr or no one for Penn State at 197 at the NCAA Tournament.
The site prior to this year looked like it was from West Germany. There was an upgrade to make the appearance more modern. I assume the upgrade uses more bandwidth and cost money. So charge the freeloaders, like me.
