I think the only way we lose is if Plott beats Keck, or i am i wrong?

Doesn’t matter

 

[Jayshellberg]

I would be of a mind to make finishing a shot a 3-pt takedown and getting a takedown off someone else's shot a 2-pt takedown. Would at least reward offense. Subjective, sure, but it would at least be interesting.

Not sure if that’s the answer, but I like your way of thinking. Aggresiveness should be rewarded over passiveness. The results tonight prove you can win a lot of matches, and even championships, by being passive.

Plott needs to pin keck, Yonger needs to lose and slam his headgear and dresser needs to tackle the ref.

 

[CloneFanInKC]

Has the ESPN broadcast said anything yet about Iowa State clinching the title?

Zero mention of team score throughout this broadcast

 

[bear24]

I would think 3. He's beaten guys who have beaten Ramirez and nobody else has the resume besides Messenbrink.

Hope so, it would suck to see KOT in semis

 

[BanjoCy]

Hilarious, commentators mentioned during the 174 match that “you cant score if you aren’t shooting”. Did they watch the last 2 matches?

 

[TheJackWePack5]

Why wasn’t it? All we’ve heard leading up to this is Carr is looking the best he’s ever looked in his entire career.

This.

Wasn’t close to scoring after getting in on a leg.

Just unfortunate to have an all-timer at his weight the past two years.

I have no idea, I haven’t talked to him personally. Why is it then when Penn State loses at big10’s Cael has it all figured out and you say all that matters is Nationals? David didn’t commit to his finishes. He didn’t put his best hand forward. Wait and see

I would venture to guess they will categorize or counter suggesting this as passive-aggressive behavior...

 

[theshadow]

No. I think ride time only counts at the very last set.

Matches can end on RT advantage after TB-1.

Why are you making things up?

 

[JM4CY]

How does a Carr Messenbrink match turn out?

Carr beats him

Very odd. The NCAA tourney broadcasts are always all over the team scores.

 

[CycloneWanderer]

This is coming off as intense sour grapes.

Counters are absolutely basics of wrestling

Then why make takedowns 3 points but reversals only 2? Are reversals not a basic of wrestling like a counter?

 

[CyCloneRastlinG]

Why are you making things up?

You’ve said all that matters is Nationals that’s a fact

Big 10z was too and PSU up by 30

You’re all over the place my dude

David needs to go back to head inside singles. O’Toole will win every scramble where David’s head is outside. He won against O’Toole when he was hitting his single legs. I’d rather win in KC anyway, not jumping off the David train yet

His shot in the 3rd was head inside. And KOT absolutely crushed him with his hips and Carr had to pop the head out.
