2024 NCAA's - Day 3 - Match/discussion thread

[PSUcup1]

Credit Mendez there. Beau had him dead to rights twice. Mendez got out twice.

I’d say it was more just a really bad finish by Beau. Completely behind him with hands locked. Have to finish that 100 out of 100 times

 

[BoHunter0210]

Damn Beau had him. Mendez was thinking stall and counter all match.

 

[GogglesPaizano]

You live by the sword you die by the sword. It was that close.

 

[mcpat]

No complaints, Beau got in deep twice and forced both scrambles. Mendez beat him in the scramble. It is what it is.

 

[CSauertiegPSU]

Also we don’t get to complain about how Mendez won considering the manner in which Beau has won many a big match

 

[js8793]

That’s brutal. Beau was the better guy. Mendez didn’t take a single attack. Beau was so close to 2 tds

Kind of a reverse of their first match where Mendez was the aggressor, but Bartlett won the exchanges

 

[PSUWrestlingFanSince2011]

Ouch

 

[Brian LB-U]

Beau took the only two shots of the bout. Props to Mendez, it was a very good match.

 

[The Japanese Whizzer]

Mendez will get his picture on the Buckeye wall next to Pletcher and Moore. Tough sequence to lose on for Bartlett

Thanks, dad

 

[Pitchfork Rebel]

Is Burroughs nuts? You're college coach doesn't make you a man.

And a black shirt, if he didn't get one already.

 

[NittanyChris]

For all the crap Beau takes on here, he was the aggressor. That match is truly a 50-50 match every time they go.

 

[RB-Old]

Beau needed to slow it down once he got to the leg to avoid the scramble. He should have handled that double at the end the way Levi does and picked him up and put him down on his hip.

Pretty much Beau got beat at his own game. He's got to finish faster and cleaner.

 

[lazydave841]

Burroughs: Mendez is an Ohio kid.

Fact: Mendez is from Indiana.

Was he moonlighting HS dual meets last year? Lol

 

[District four]

[Psubiomed]

Tough loss but Mendez deserved it. Move on...

 

[Aardvark86]

They need to reward the opponent with a point if you lose the brick call then coaches might think twice about it. Also. Coaches should be able to challenge a call not throw bricks to get a call like locked hands otherwise why have refs at all. This is ridiculous I mean seriously how many missed locked hands calls were in this tournament probably close to a hundred

I like this. Much like the nhl.

 

[RB-Old]

For all the crap Beau takes on here, he was the aggressor. That match is truly a 50-50 match every time they go.

Oddly I'd favor Beau a little more after that match. If they go ten times and Beau gets to legs like he did there he's gonna win seven of them.

 

[CSauertiegPSU]

Thanks, dad

Ironic considering complaining about how Mendez wrestled is extremely childish.

 

[zzs006]

Agreed. It was kind of strange. Usually Mendez is super aggressive. I don’t think I’ve ever seen him wrestle a match without firing off an attack. These 2 are so evenly matched. I think if they wrestle 10 times they probably both win 5 and all are probably 1 td matches

Loved how he wrestled that match. Mendez just pulled off some houdini shit to counter him b

 

[mcpat]

We’re proud of you Beau. You wrestled well. Great season. Great tournament.

We got four left. Let’s get four more golds

 

[Bob_Anderson]

Who's complaining?

 

[We Are . . .]

"No one leaves Ohio State." Except Kerk and Snyder.

 

[pish69]

Great year Beau! Sucks he lost but he looked great. Credit Mendez for getting out of that

 

[Pitchfork Rebel]

"No one leaves Ohio State." Except Kerk and Snyder.

With Snyder saying "I have to get better"..

 

[Crusher1950]

When you wrestle like Beau wrestles there is always something that can come out bad

 

[Pitchfork Rebel]

Henson gets BP...

 

[kingslayer_85]

well I like watching Gomez , can always count on him trying big moves. I remember when he wrestled RBY at the scuffle and I said to myself that won't work for long at this level. Can't believe how wrong i was

 

[PAgeologist]

Now that's how you finish a TD. Henson is letting it fly

 

[El-Jefe]

I'm amazed at the number of high-end D1 wrestlers who gave up NF on 1980s HS suck-backs.

Add Gomez to the list.

 

[zzs006]

Henson is a dog! This match is going to be awesome. Gomez won’t back down and is going to keep going big

 

[District four]

Henson is smart

 

[Brian LB-U]

Wow, Henson is friggin huge!

 

[WEAREPSU_LI]

wtf is espn doing. We just missed an escape for a highlight.

 

[PAgeologist]

One of those things you don't see much, so nobody expects it. Kinda like Rogotze throwing everyone.

 

[zzs006]

As great as Kasak has been this year and especially this tournament remember that SVN beat Henson last year at this tournament

 

[js8793]

Gomez panics too quickly. Same against Lovett. With 3 point takedowns, he didn't need the mixer that early.
