2026 B1G Tourney Session I Thread
- Thread starter Tom McAndrew
- Start date
I feel like Cannon could have beat Duke if he could have seen him.
As impressed as I’ve ever been with Duke.
While he pushed the pace and won because of it, I’m not sure SVN took a shot in that match. Strange match from him.

Turn off whatever audio you're listening to and listen to the audio from the Mat 4 feed on BigTenPlus.
Casey is providing a master class in "what to do" direction.

Beautiful takedown by Barbosa there.
Pretty sure, Joey Blaze just got taken down. Can't believe he tried a shot beforehand.
I can’t believe they didn’t call that , hope it gets corrected in review
That's a damn shame for Joey, but you have to be smarter than that. All you had to do was dance a bit.

How many of Ferrari’s matches have gone to the second period 0-0 this season?
Angelo should wear a kneepad. The knee must get sore with all the time he spends on it.
Looked like Rocco got away with pulling the singlet
I hate to break it to some here, but it’s Mendez’s award to lose at this point.
DQ that piece of ****
I dunno. I think he deserves it, but isn't mitch leading?
Good Lord, I hate watching this match. Well earned by Rocco!
