Doucet has improved so much under DT. Proud of that young man.

One of my very favorite things to see is a wrestler who sticks around the program his whole career and becomes an All-American in his last tournament. The difference between saying you were a college wrestler and a college All-American wrestler is massive. So happy for Big KD!
Then Doucet wins by pin. Night just gets better.
Everyone seems to! By significant margins. This is so huge for recruiting.
Iowa has got to give tom and terry another decade with way they’ve wrestled this tourney, right?
Yep. Everybody in the wrestlebacks has to sort out who's going for what place tomorrow morning.
149 - Swiderski drops a 8-5 decision in SV and will wrestle for 7th tomorrow.
Swid is a freaking warrior. Go go go. So impressed. Is he out or does he wrestle tomorrow?
We should have Ryder match #575, Konner match #580 and of course Merrill
Ferrari is so awful to watch. Him, Dee, and his brother with all of the sitting on their knees entire match.
He should be wrestling for 7th/8th place tomorrow.
Super impressed with Swid, that motor is second to none.
Merrill on deck Mat 4, Spratley is tomorrow morning. Haven't announced a mat yet for Konner.
Needs to be called for stalling.
Team scores as of right now, we are 2nd with 101, Nebraska is 3rd with 87
Most impressed with so far:
1. Ryder - I was ultra high on him. He pissed me off to start the year but he got better and his shoulder injury really surpressed his true rankings. He's really a top 6-8 wrestler at 184
2. Rob - Gutsy performer. IDK if he's injured but knocking off the #1 guy is IMPRESSIVE.
3. Panda - Nothing more to say, dude is a BEAST. Give him all the In-N-Out he can eat.
4. Vega - Grinded out a Dub, still hasn't given up a takedown.
5. Jax - Business as usual. I expected him to make the finals.
6. Swiderski - Dude is a BEAST. I hope he keeps this motor into next year. Had the #1 guy on the ropes and had his chances.
7. Doucet - Finding ways to win. Pin Fall at this point is impressive no matter what!
8. Sprat - Little disappointed, I thought Liledahl was the most vulnerable of the PSU big boys. Great ride, let's finish 3rd!
9. Facundo - I still have a hard time understanding the Rideout, why not lock hands at any point you're about to give up an escape so you can start over?
Really 6-9 are interchangeable for their own reasons but DAMN, I'm loving still having 8 guys competing tomorrow!
Lockett - Sorry, you get paid and you were our #1 recruit. All talk, no bite this year. Train, get a better motor/conditioning and really study how the boys do it. From 125-184, the motors and mission is clear, score and score often.
We see there's a couple of gaps, we need to get better of plug them.
