Posted this in the session 1 thread, but makes more sense here.

Iowa and PSU are tied after session 1 at 63.5 points each. Minnesota is a distant 3rd at 51.5 points.

PSU has 7 wrestlers in semifinals and already qualified for NCAAs:

1 RBY vs 5 Ragusin
2 Bartlett vs 3 Hardy
2 Haines vs 3 Coleman
1 Starocci vs 4 O’Reilly
1 Brooks vs 4 Finesilver
1 Dean vs 5 Warner
2 Kervliet vs 3 Cassioppi

PSU also has three wrestlers in the 2nd round of consis; a win there qualifies each for NCAAs (and a loss there eliminates only Steen):

- 10 Steen vs 9 Medley
- 5 SVN vs 14 Reynolds
- 4 Facundo vs 11 South

Iowa has six wrestlers in the semis:

1 Lee vs 5 McKee
1 Woods vs 4 Shahar
4 Murin vs 1 Sasso
3 Kennedy vs 2 Amine
5 Warner vs 1 Dean
3 Cassioppi vs 2 Kerk

In the 2nd round consis, they have:

8 Teske vs 10 Lamont
5 Siebrecht vs 14 North
7 Brands vs 9 Maylor
5 Assad vs 11 Bates

And we all know how basketball goes on and on and on... lol

Ya. First semi is going on now. Hoping neither is close so the end of the game doesn’t last forever with fouls. Indiana is beating Ohio St 38-20 so hoping the blowout continues.

 

[IndianaNittanyLion]

I know our chances are slim, but I'd like to begin the next session with the Steenroller paving the Michigan guy.

No doubt....yet somehow they keep finding ways to shorten football and baseball.

Back side looking very friendly for PSU
Van Ness likely has:

Reynolds (PUR)
Lamer (UM)
Rooks (IND)

in order to reach the third-place match.

Facundo likely ha
South (MD)
Sparks (MINN)
Banged up or MFF Amine (UM)

Think Lamer and Sparks are the biggest land mines there. Hard to see Amine wrestling back. Now, if he beats Kennedy obviously that all changes.

I have a hard time seeing Amine beat Kennedy with how he’s been looking today. He definitely seems banged up
I feel really bad for Gomez. Kid was having a fantastic year but his injury seems severe enough that I can’t see him doing anything at nationals assuming he makes it

 

[86PSUPaul]

JB is scheduled for 5:10, but if he is actually comes on then…..

 

[Chickenman Testa]

I did a Buckeye barometer check - they are pushing back their title year a few years after some minor setbacks today

 

[Aardvark86]

For the record, perhaps the most entertaining comment from round one - which was good for a solid two to three minutes of laughter - was when one of the commentators said “ok now let’s see if he [Nelson Brands] can get to his offense”.

Lol , but if you need to keep your opponent to a regular decision, Nelson is your man 😆

The hulu girl sold me on the backside..

 

[Penn St8 - 1997]

Byers is on time! Good sign for this session.

 

[Sleepylion]

Buyers is on here and the quality it pretty good.

I’m not feeling super confident about these semis. I don’t see any likely bonus, and we’re going to have real scraps at 141, 157, 197, and 285. Then again, it always seems B1Gs are tougher than NCAAs.

I’ll feel better if Beau scores the first TD in his match …

 

[82bordeaux]

Steen first match on mat 4.

Brooks beat Finesilver 14-4 last time. Carter beat Smith by 6.

Both are definitely possible of replicating or improving upon those results.

 

[mcpat]

Byers needs to spend more time reading this board to get his facts correct.

Hopefully minus the Farm Aid concert.

[JOESTROSSER]

What's the format for who wrestle for 9th. Are wrestlers 0-2 out or do they still have a shot?

They all go

 

[mcpat]

Not a bad second period for Steen. Down 5-1 going into 3rd. Chooses bottom.

 

[mcpat]

Hey guys. Steen is in this. Down 5-2 now and trending his way.

 

[Str8DBLz]

Steen battled pretty damn good there

 

[mcpat]

Steen loses 7-2. It was 4-1 after one. He had some good shots in 2nd and 3rd periods.

 

[Psugo823]

Just painful watching this kid get worked every match. Curse continues..

 

[PAHURDLER]

Steen wrestled harder than I did today so I can’t really fault him here.
