DID I HEAR a snap from the mSU WRETSLERS leg?
ouch

Poz was just standing up

 

[koleszar]

O that sucks. Hopefully not bad but he was hobbling off, only good news under his own power.

 

[Bobbynieds]

Not the way we want a win..but he moves on to the next match

 

[SCNJ]

No idea what just happened but I think we have 3 guys wrestling for 3rd

 

[Bobbynieds]

time to root for Brands to lose...

 

[njsportsphan]

interesting seeing Nijenhuis wrestle for purdue.
Didn't he split with Connor O Neil last year?

He beat Poz at Super 32

 

[MS-RU]

Eek that didn't look good. No idea how that happened, Poz was just standing up but he wins by injury default and will wrestle for 3rd.

He was winning 4-3 and bottom to start the 2nd before the injury occured. He had a nice takedown at the end of the period to take the lead.

Hope the MSU guy is okay, never want to see that.

 

[Bobbynieds]

I thought i heard a snap when he stood up....nothing that poz did......Not good

 

[koleszar]

time to root for Brands to lose...

Don't want that kid any where near our wrestlers. He's simply barbaric and an *******(like father/uncle, like son) with the biting and scratching.

 

[LetsGoRUwrestling]

Our guys are just Wrestling into shape...Lots of matches turned around from season

 

[wngarbarini]

Who does Poz get for 3rd?

 

[ScarletGrapfan]

Who does Poz get for 3rd?

Brands

 

[njsportsphan]

For not competing at 2 weights and having virtually no points with 133, HW & 165, and an unknown at 125, Rutgers has looked fantastic.

Maybe the 5 week layoff and Sammy news got us all pessimistic. But they came to fight. They look a bit out of shape, but that was to be expected.

I think the future is bright. BTW, Chletsos looks real good. Could be a nice 33 lb'er.
We've got some real good recruits coming in and a young, talented squad.

By the way, what the hell happened to Wisconsin? They took a serious nosedive.

Janzer mat 2

 

[SCNJ]

Are the 3rd place matches tonight or during this session?

 

[rugrapfan1]

If Janzer wins he is in?

 

[koleszar]

Are the 3rd place matches tonight or during this session?

I believe tonight. As every year I harp on this. When the hosting team has a wrestler going for a place the arena watches them and reacts to them. The majority of the crowd like we experience is the hosting school with a sprinkling of the other 13 teams fans. It takes away from the Championship matches. IMO they should be wrestled last and by themselves. It's a huge accomplishment it deserves it's own spotlight.

 

[SCNJ]

If Janzer wins he is in?

Janzer is wrestling for 7th. Big 10 only has 6 guaranteed spot. A win will help his chances at an at large

 

[wngarbarini]

Penola beat him decisively 4-0 in the dual

 

[SCNJ]

Janzer is too big to wrestle 184 and too small to wrestle 197. I had high hopes for him as a recruit but he hasn’t developed the way I hoped.

 

[Bobbynieds]

SO we got 1 more match before the 3rd place matches? (Turley for 9th)

 

[Bobbynieds]

125: Wrestled fairly to seed, 1 Big Upset
133: Wrestled to seed
141: Wrestled to seed (unfortunately I was expecting more, but a SV loss to Nick Lee is not a horrible loss)
149; Exceeded Seed (Big time)
157: None
165: Wrestled to seed
174: Wrestled slightly below seed (7th seed wrestling for 9th)
184: Wrestled above seed
197: Wrestled slightly above seed (10 seed, got 8th place)
285: Wrestled to seed

10th place in standings

Overall a decent tournament, not great in comparison to seeds

Note: Ohio State is in 9th

 

[wngarbarini]

Janzer score?

 

[Bobbynieds]

Looks like 9th place is just beginning

Turley on deck on Mat 3

 

[Bobbynieds]

Janzer got MD 10-1

 

[koleszar]

Janzer score?

Believe it was 10-1 he couldn't do anything. Penola just stronger and quicker with a better tank.

 

[wngarbarini]

Team scores?

 

[Bobbynieds]

Penola was a Heavyweight last year (I believe)
Didn't he beat our 197 pounder in a match (who bumped up)

[wngarbarini]

I guess my original prediction of finishing 10th was correct

 

[koleszar]

Nice the old slip off the shoe to get the takedown move. I like it Turley 2-0.

 

[Bobbynieds]

Can't there be a penalty point awarded for a shoe coming off?
I remember that happening before

 

[Bobbynieds]

Turley wins 6-2
Hopefully he gets an at large bid

 

[koleszar]

Turley wins 6-2. Have to believe he's in the tournament with an at large. If not it's a tragedy. I mean he was ranked #19th pre tournament

 

[LetsGoRUwrestling]

This year is so screwed up...The EIWA Stealing so many bids is disgusting...If we were part of EIWA this year we would of been 10-0 with 8/9 Qualifiers. They calculated in Cornell. Princeton and UPenn when they didn't compete .EIWA Champ lost to Rider! Thats what happens when you have a female AD from Cal State Bakersfield calling the shots and NO Idea of NCAA Wrestling! Hofstra qualified 7 EIWA guys and they stink

 

[ScottRU93]

Turley wins 6-2. Have to believe he's in the tournament with an at large.

It’s an absolute joke what the EIWA is getting in compared to the B10. There are 9th/10th place guys that would beat the EIWA champs and they are getting 6 guys in most weights. What a joke.

 

[ScottRU93]

This year is so screwed up...The EIWA Stealing so many bids is disgusting...If we were part of EIWA this year we would of been 10-0 with 8/9 Qualifiers...Best team in EIWA lost to Rider

Sorry just posted same thing

 

[MS-RU]

If Turkey doesn't get in, it would be an absolute crime. He was ranked #22 in the coaches poll prior to this and he had a good tournament.
