PBP:
As I mentioned above, I'm reffing a tournament on Sunday. I've never done this tournament before, so I don't have a good handle on how long it will take, and thus whether I'll be back in time to do PBP. Perhaps I'll make it back in time, but consider me out for PBP. @GregPickel should be able to provide some PBP in my absence, and others are welcome to contribute as well. As always, I remind folks that provide PBP to include scores for each dual, as well as the match score.

Looking at the match I think Nebraska has the possibility of taking three matches 133, 149 and 184. I think Van Dee has been wrestling pretty tough and Nagao seems to have been inconsistent. I hope I am wrong but I think Van Dee takes it. Lovett, that is going to be a tough nut for Kasak. I really like Kasak, obviously a vary talented wrestler and fun to watch but I think Lovett will be too much for him. I put Truax in the same boat as Nagao. Pinto has also been impressive to watch. Not saying Truax cannot beat him. But I don't think today will be the day. I hope I am wrong on each account, would love to see another shutout. At any rate, that is my 2c on the match today. Can't wait until 4 o'clock.

Nebraska matches up with us very well

Nebraska matches up with us very well

Nobody matches up well. Probably beat an all star team.

 

[LightningBoltz]

Nobody matches up well. Probably beat an all star team.

I think it’s pretty clear that this is the correct take. Hard to handicap a few things - which Nagao do we get, how tough will Kasak be, is Levi fully separated from Robb, is CStar back in shape, is Bernie better than his two mistakes. But it seems like this won’t sneak up on anyone at PSU.

 

[manatree]

Byers is on the radio.

 

[BigBankFrank]

no Nagao

 

[gimb14]

Nobody matches up well. Probably beat an all star team.

Just ignore him

 

[ElDuce]

Davis stalking well so far, taking ground

 

[hohmadw1978]

Did Davis win?

 

[hohmadw1978]

no Nagao

He was sick for Monday's match. Tried to gut it out.

 

[gimb14]

Did Davis win?

0-0 after 1

 

[hohmadw1978]

Davis with 1 minute and 1second of riding time going into the third period. Just escaped 1-1 tie.

Davis taken down with NF. Davis down 8-2. Rough third period for Braden.

 

[hohmadw1978]

Not a good start. Davis loses 11-3. PSU down 4-0.

 

[ElDuce]

Not a good start smith, major davis, 125!

 

[Psuproud]

Davis needs to create some angles on those shots.

 

[gimb14]

Tough one. Still learning.

 

[ElDuce]

shunk needs to keep it to a decision

 

[BigBankFrank]

Not only does Davis lose, but gives up Bonus points.

 

[hohmadw1978]

Shunk in for a sick Nagao.

 

[hohmadw1978]

Shunk down 6-2 after period 1.

 

[LB99]

Not only does Davis lose, but gives up Bonus points.

22 yr old (23 in May)grad student vs true freshman.

 

[hohmadw1978]

1:13 riding time for Shunk in the second period. Still 6-2 going into the third period.

 

[hohmadw1978]

Riding time no longer a factor.

 

[ptomaselli]

Good job avoiding the ‘lights’…

 

[hohmadw1978]

Shunk wrestled tough-held it to a 6-2 verdict.

PSU down 7-0

Need Beau to step up.

 

[ElDuce]

Van Dee gets the win, Shunk did what he needed to

 

[ptomaselli]

Need a “W” from Beau.

 

[LifeLongLion]

We have a problem at 125...

 

[BigBankFrank]

If Hardy beats Bartlett, things are going to get interesting

 

[Lion4ever]

We have a problem at 125...

When don’t we ?

 

[WV lion]

Davis will qualify for Nationals and be in running for low AA. Did anyone think it was realistic for him to be too 4?

 

[hohmadw1978]

Beau with a quick takedown. 3-0

3-0 after one period. Beau takes bottom. Quick escape in the second period.

 

[LifeLongLion]

When don’t we ?

It didn't look like we did a month ago...

 

[gimb14]

We have a problem at 125...

no we don't

 

[gimb14]

Davis will qualify for Nationals and be in running for low AA. Did anyone think it was realistic for him to be too 4?

It's almost like people ignore he's a true freshman. I'm shocked

 

[hohmadw1978]

Beau with a second takedown 7-1. Hardy escapes 7-2. Beau up 7-2 going into the third period.

 

[ptomaselli]

CJF & Tom Allen there with Kraft!

 

[hohmadw1978]

Match is now very close. Hardy with a takedown. Beau up 8-6.

 

[ElDuce]

Beau 9-6 win. Needed that
