- Start date
No. 12 Carter Young of Maryland takes out Koy Buesgens of NC State 11-4 in an upset at 149. Young gets Lamer.
double digits Young v Lamer in the quarters is cool.
I wanted a healthy Nagao vs Hardy more than most any other matches this year. The scrambles would've been awesome
Utah Valley coach challenging a call they just reviewed on video isn’t the smartest use of a brick
Not sure being a year older is going to do that for him. Getting older did nothing for Ford Focus' maturity. Davis is in a room full of good role models (I believe) and it hasn't sunk in yet.
And then tried to run. Got caught after he ran out of gas.
I think Nagao could hammer him on the mat mutch like Vega does to Hardy.
I will believe Ono wrestles for us when it actually happens.
No 3 Wasilewski survivrs No. 14 Rathjen of UNI in sudden victory 8-5.
Time for Duke-Mechler.
Time for Duke-Mechler.
I really wish we got to see it. The way he hung with RBY and rode him, even if it was odd to ride out til he lost, was impressive.
Rathjen just got robbed, Wasilewski onto the quarters after he should have been hit with another stall in OT. It's been called stalling all year but the ref wouldn't give it.
Can the NCAAs stop overseeding the ACC.
A wrestler should only be allowed to wrestle one open and one invitational for record. Stop with the inflated ACC records by hitting third string SoCon guys at opens.

Duke working for a 1st period TF at the rate he's going
Not sure why they stopped the action and didn’t give him that takedown
Duke is on a mission. Leveled up
I just don’t see Blaze redshirting next year. The following year makes more sense to me because of the Olympics. You very well might be right but I don’t see it

Duke with the 1st period pin, @ 2:38!!!!!
Wow PJ ******* Duke. What a beast
Duke likes to beat up his food before he eats it.
PJ with five takedowns in the first period so far!
Kick our own wrestlers down like Ohio State does . There's a way to cut without being nasty
Agree
PJ pissed Jax is getting all the press. Lol
I think Duke broke SlipperyPetes fingers as well
Shayne Van Ness will get No. 8 Casey Sweiderski of Oklahoma State in his 149-pound quarterfinal tomorrow morning. The Cowboy beat former Penn State wrestler David Evans 14-4 in round 2.
