Man a couple of frustrating first matches today to watch. Our guys initiate the action and the other guys just back up the whole time and only one stall call
Didn't have a problem with crookham match other than the end, butbthat wouldn't have changed the outcome.

I think Ech wanted upper body. Woods defended the ties well. I think the game plan could be criticized more than an effort issue.

Should implement a pushout or if you back up to the edge and don't circle a 4 count and stalling. So much wrestling with heels on the edge its ********.

Well top ten is all we get to claim this year. Improvement from last year's 11th I guess. I'll feel a lot better about the tourney if Carr can get his 2nd tonight.

Yep…. both matches very boring to watch IMO. The sport needs to make guys wrestle or they will not grow the sport.

ISU guys at least seem to want to wrestle generally.

No trophy..not even a top 5 finish. Only thing that will help ease a little bit of the pain is if David can get his 2nd tonight

Sometimes it's just shite luck in sports. Niang's foot. Yonger's finger. Always lots of what ifs. Still, disappointing.

Can’t believe Iowa is in 2nd place. Don’t feel like they’ve had a very good tournament at all.

It’s PSU…. and then a bunch of ‘meh’ teams.
