Wrestling 2023 NCAA Tournament Live Thread: Session III

Iowa going to need a lot of bonus in the consi rd or this will get away from them fast.
Ah hell. Just like any other Penn State year. HR dreams of the fantasies necessary for them to sneak past Penn State, without being self aware enough to understand they are competing for third. It is like watch Lucy hold the ball for Charlie Brown to kick.
 
3 Brooks vs 6 Romero
QF

Romero all hands to the head. Brooks tries to work a couple front headlock. Brooks clearly the aggressor. Romero gets in on a low single. Stalemated. Nervous when the shot happened, but got nowhere with it. 0-0 after one.

Brooks quick escape. Brooks in on a single but OOB. They have to call stalling at some point. Hard to finish TDs when your opponent is always at edge of circle. Hand to Brooks face flagrantly and no call. More of the same. Brooks aggressive and they go OOB. Brooks gets a finish at edge of mat since that’s where all the wrestling is happening. 3-0 after two.

Romero chooses bottom. Granby escape. 3-1. And guess what? They’re at the edge with Romero’s back at OOB. A stall call down 3-1 gives Brooks a point. I must have missed an earlier call. Brooks close to a TD but - get this - Romero goes OOB. 4-1 final. On to semifinals!

Watching these guys constantly stay on the edge is frustrating but I think Brooks needs to do better at walking them out of bounds.
