That wasn’t pretty but good response from Dee. Taking out a Nub definitely helps the team too.
That was a Big Boy victory by Dee there. You could tell both of those guys were just exhausted, but Dee made a big move. Kudos to him.
Dee took all of the shots in the match. Just needs to finish them.
Damn Dee getting all the hate from the crowd. I don’t think the NE guy took a shot all match.
First, I'm far from an expert in wrestling and I thought Lockett showed tremendous mental strength in gutting out that win; however, to me he looks lost on how to generate any type of offense. Also doesn't look like he has the strength of some of his opponents. Appears to be really quick and hopefully he can use that to develop into a wrestling that can generate offense.
So frustrating watching the Lockett match where he shot a lot but as soon as he got in the leg he started losing position and hanging on. He was dead on rideouts but got the reversal and back points for a big win against Nebraska. I hope he can now stop wrestling scared. That was a gutty win when defeat was right there
JFC lol
Dee survives, so glad he got out
Hopefully he will learn and get better. I see him trying to bull opponents around. It just doesn't work as well at D1. Need a bigger playbook at this level and more stamina so he can fire off more shots and rest on his knees less. Easier said than done but at least the improvements are easily identifiable. Still, can't help but be proud of the hometown kid for taking lumps and stepping up. This season has been a big test for him.

Suck it Iowa.
197 - Merrill with an 8-3 decision and ALL-AMERICAN!!!
Great job Cody! Love that final handshake. Cracks me up every time
174 - Facundo with a 4-3 decision to advance.
Facundo takes two shots in the last 20 seconds of the match and then ref gives him a stall warning. Bananas. Did the refs hear me commenting on their stall calls? Glad he got the win but dang lol.
Zach Ryder continues to be one tough SOB.
Hand up, I had zero expectations for Ryder in this tournament. Not because he’s not talented, but wrestling is a real hard sport to compete in with a jacked up shoulder.
Trumble laid there, there was no urgency to get off bottom.
Trumble/Bastida are leaps and bounds better.
Still have ALL 10 available! Let's get 10 AAs tonight!
Surprised KD didn't let him up and try to get some takedowns. Tall order to turn a guy like that.
Here's a fact, Jack. We can win the National Championship.
We still have one more round of consolations. The three that started in consolations this morning. Have one more match this session. Doucette will wrestle his first consolation match this evening.
