It seems to me that our squad doesn’t embrace that everyone wants to to beat an OSU wrestlers ***.
Virtually identical to last night.
2 matches and we have 0 good performances. March from NDSU pinned Daton's opponent last week. His response to defensive wrestling has been poor the last 2 matches. Hard to believe from those 2 matches he took 2nd in the world. Also Mastro on bottom stands up and does nothing else. Hoping I guess that the ref will call stalling.
3 matches and 0 good performances. The coaching staff and all of the wrestlers should be embarrassed by this weekend performances.
He was actually shooting. Not successfully but I’ll take anything at this point.
This has been embarrassing. This is somewhat good experience for the post season. ISU is very defensive on their feet. We simply can’t get up from the bottom.
That’s the dual so far. Not like ISU is overly impressive, just content to not get taken down and then ride us out.

Are my expectations too high for Daton Fix? I love the kid - great student athlete and representative of OSU. He loves being a Cowboy and we're lucky to have him. But why is he not more dominant? 23 years old and world silver medalist and he routinely settles for regular decisions. How is he not getting 5+ takedowns every match against average opponents? I don't get it.
He’s been pretty dominant this season. These last two matches are really the only ones that I feel like he settled.
When wrestlers are allowed to cover up in the down position, it is difficult to get extra points.
