On the 3 184 pounders
Coaches/RPI
Courts 17/21
Lampe 29/24
Krohn 25/21
Ayala 21/27
Dane is 27/29
Romanchik 29/28

5 at large bids available.

 

[buf87]

Lampe took 2nd in Southern and allocation is 1
Krohn took 3rd in PAC 12 and allocation is 2
Ayala DNP in EIWA and allocation is 7
Romanchik took 6th in MAC and allocation is 4

Think Krohn is ahead of Dane, but Dane could jump Ayala since there was 7 allocations and he doesn't place.
Lampe and Dane are probably close

Cement job does Earl in. Live by the sword, die by the sword, I guess.

 

[buf87]

Yeah he gambled to early. Wrestled a great match other than that move

 

[HGoat]

Great match by goose. Hope that gives him some confidence going into NCAAs

 

[Chipper]

Any idea last year without a Big 12 individual champion?

Congrats to Lelund Weatherspoon!!!

 

[buf87]

Congrats Lelund!!! Anybody else going to Congratulate him, probably not many!

 

[HGoat]

That was a great match, congrats Lelund

 

[LindenCy]

Great news! I assume Weatherman lost then?

 

[BCClone]

Nice tv coverage. Kicks out at 197.

 

[BillyClone]

Atta boy Lelund! Nice work!

 

[HGoat]

Great news! I assume Weatherman lost then?

He lost 4-2 to Dieringer (2x defending NCAA champion). Gave up one takedown in the first and riding time point. They had some good flurries, and Tanner was right in it until the end.

Great win, Spoon is showing his potential to beat the best guys in the country. And at the perfect time!

 

[Land Grant]

Congratulations to Weatherspoon! In fact, strong show by all three finalists. Makes me a bit more excited for NCAAs.

ISU finishes third behind Oklahoma State and Oklahoma. SDSU takes fourth and Wyoming fifth.

I do hope Downey learns how to take a shot on the next two weeks. His offense was ref dependant this weekend.

Earl goes for big moves and that's what I've always loved about him but I wonder how that one might have turned out had he been more conservative. Don't want him out there wrestling scared by any means but hate to see him beat himself. Have to give him credit though. Other than that one big mistake, he wrestled a great match against a flat out stud.

Speaking of wrestling a great match against a flat out stud, I'm still somewhat in disbelief that Tanner managed to push Dieringer to the limit. Not getting majored is basically a victory for most guys against him. Hopefully Tanner can keep that going in NYC because if he wrestles at that level, we should all be pretty happy with the end result.

Congrats to 2 time Big 12 champ Lelund Weatherspoon! That match was a lot of fun to watch and should be some nice momentum for Spoon heading into NCAAs. Also want to congratulate Kyle, Earl, Tanner, Lelund, and Pat on qualifying for NCAAs. Hope to be congratulating Dane as well. Pretty happy with where we're at but Pestano would be a nice cherry on top. Can't wait to see what these guys can do in the Big Apple!
