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

BTW, Carter's match is a great example of how different college is from HS.

Welsh was a volume scorer in HS. High pace, very good technique, but also he overpowered a lot of guys.

This year everybody was stronger, or at least strong enough to neutralize his power -- including One-Legged Carter. And Welsh wrestled this entire tournament like Lewan: 4-2, 4-1 SV, 4-1 SV, 4-1 SV, 0-2.

It really makes you appreciate how good some of our true freshmen have been -- like Nico, Zain, Mark, Levi, etc., ... that they can wrestle at a high level and put up at least moderate scores.
 
Walsh trying to shorten the match in 1st period with his obvious and bullshit stalling rather than wrestling for a Championship. Deserves precisely what he got in the 3rd. You want to stall for 2 periods trying to shorten the match - that's what you get for your bullshit strategy.

Feldman wrestled Kerk the same way. Ryan doesn't seem to know that coaching your wrestlers not to lose doesn't make them better.
 
Given that Burroughs is saying the quiet part out loud, he shouldn't voluntarily disclose the nature or extent of a weakness.
