It kind of looked like Kysen's shoulder was sitting on Surtin in a way it would've been hard for him to be flat. I thought he was pinned too, but tough to tell from the camera angles they had.

I thought so too but we couldn’t see his left shoulder. I assume it was off the mat or on his opponent as often happens in a cradle but his right shoulder was flat as a pancake in the mat.
I agree. There was a way better angle of the cradle from Ramazan that looked like he had the fall but it was probably too quick.
Okay. That makes sense. I've only been following more closely for a couple years so there's a lot of little things that I just don't know. Like that his shoulder might be resting on the opponent in the cradle. That also makes perfect sense when you figure in Missouri's coaches would have had a better view and didn't throw the brick.
I think what the other posters is saying is correct. It looked like a pin to me, but we couldn’t see that other shoulder and it’s possible it was on top of Surtin’s body.
One thing though is you can’t throw the brick and challenge a pin/no pin call.
YB might have the biggest heart and gas tank combo I've ever seen. Relentless
That last flurry surge by him was all thanks to Dresser getting in the refs ear on the one stall call. Gave Yonger a quick breather to get a little lung build up.
Yonger is a lot of fun to watch. I can't wait to see him develop more. The leap he made from last year to this year is outstanding.
He doesn’t seem like a guy who’s liable for a plateau. Think about how dangerous he will be a couple years from now….
I talked to Kyven Friday night and he was excited for Yonger's development. Says he's a beast in the room that will only get better. Talked a bit with Gabe Greenlee as well. He said Yonger is stupid athletic and has the strongest hips he's ever seen/wrestled against.
I don't think Mastro got hurt until the Tanner Jordan match, after his match with Terukina. Mastro got his ankle crunched in the final flurry of the 3rd and it took him a while to get up before hobbling off the mat.
He and Ferrari could be an incredible head to head for the next 2 or 3 years. I wish Ferrari was still around this year to gauge YB's progress against a truly elite guy, but you don't need him to see the improvement that's been made.
The fact that YB is in the room for Coleman and the hwts to roll with cannot be undersold. You need a high ceiling guy to raise the level of the guys around him, and, well, how high is YB's ceiling?
YB's ceiling:
The ref had to much time and was in position to not call the fall on Terukina if his shoulders were flat. The other shoulder had to be up.
I told his mom that I was glad I only had to follow him for 4 years! My heart would have given out years ago if it was his whole wrestling career.
I attribute a lot of Coleman’s success this year to having Yonger as a partner. Coleman had to make the decision to step up his training and intensity in order to hang with him in the room.
It'll be fun to see what another offseason of dedication can do for Coleman, Yonger, and Schuyler. Yonger will really help them with improving from their feet, and I think Marcus can help Yonger continue to improve his mat wrestling
Since this is the active thread at the moment... Do we assume television coverage for the Big 12 Championship will be similar to last year? I can't find any updates for 2022. Here's the info from last year for reference:
Safe to assume, yes. Finals session will be at 7:00 this year, though.
