Big 12 Championship Finals

[RB-Old]

Just wait until Friday night in KC 😂😂😂

The best semi finals in NCAA history coming that night

There's going to be four guys simultaneously going for the gusto.

I think O'Toole is gonna have to go through Hamiti this time instead of Carr.

Carr is 2-0 against Hamiti. Not saying it can’t change but a lot of people, you especially, are counting out Carr which is crazy to me. KOT does seem to have his number at this point though even with their series tied 2-2

Bastida and Hendrickson coming up. Winner will be the 2 seed at NCAA’s behind Kerk.

 

[RB-Old]

I feel like this will be where Bastida's carriage turns into a pumpkin.

Bastida and Hendrickson coming up. Winner will be the 2 seed at NCAA’s behind Kerk.

Number crunchers saying Bastida could jump Kerk with a win - maybe quality wins.

So I’m rooting for WH

Yonger is an absurb athlete oh my

 

[jmadden1998]

Hendrickson had a leg elevated and when he tried to kick out the other Bastida turned and grabbed the leg and took him to his back for 3 and got 3 NF. He’s up 6-2 end of 2

 

[jmadden1998]

Bastida chooses neutral in the 3rd. Blood time for Bastida with 1:21 remaining.

 

[jmadden1998]

Hendrickson with a TD near the edge. Oob. Let’s Bastida up. 7-5. Bastida counters and almost takes Hendrickson to his back again but no NF. He’s up 10-5. Hendrickson escapes and Bastida backs out for a stall point to make it 10-7. That’s how it ends.

 

[wrestlingfan22]

Yonger is an NCAA champ level HWT. I think Kerk is better but Yonger does stuff that heavyweights should not be able to do

Hendrickson was in deep 3 times. Kerk finishes those.

 

[RB-Old]

Or not...

 

[Psubiomed]

Or not...

He caught Hendrickson twice. They will meet again in the semis

Here it is:

 

[STAND with PRIDE]

No chance they put Carr and O’Toole on the same side. The blowback would be crazy.

Then Carr should have won.
Besides that, Psycho is the guy they should be trying to "avoid".

 

[PAHURDLER]

He caught Hendrickson twice. They will meet again in the semis

Could Yonger get the #1?

 

[nerfstate]

Could Yonger get the #1?

I was wondering that too—seems very possible. DGK is gonna have to be on his A game against that guy—he has leveled up big time at Hvy.

 

[Cowbell Man]

The NCAA has had zero problem forcing conference rivals sort it out in the earlier rounds than the finals. Further, there isn’t any other seeding that makes sense….other than a sliver of MM being the 1….which would be bad seeding.


Never mind that Carr hasn’t earned a seed higher than the 4.

While I don't disagree at all and really think Bastida would have the best chance against Kerkvliet, a lot of people also thought that Hendrickson matched up well and might give Kerk fits in the all-star classic and Kerk dismantled him. We'll see, but PSU guys do shine when the lights are the brightest and I'm not betting against Kerkvliet even against the field.

 

[NittanyChris]

Keckeisen is fun to watch. Taking apart the #2 guy.

Keckeisen is awesome. It only goes to show how otherworldly Brooks is because Keckeisen had nothing for him.

I wouldn’t pick Yonger to win, but Greg will have to wrestle a tactical match, I think. I am hoping he can ride the snot out of him.

Re Hendrickson: I’d probably look more closely at Greg’s 4-2 semi win over him last year than the ASC match, right after Hendrickson was clearly injured in winning his U23 title. The separation's probably somewhere in between those 2 results.

If MM,KOT, Ramirez and Carr were all freshman wouldnt MM get #1 seed? Undefeated B10 champ and all.....

 

[tullfan68]

Not quite that bad, but close. Fix will be 26 on March 11, which is still pretty ridiculous.

I saw where a Miami football player just got approved for his 8 yr!

I understand the concept but currently coaches poll would have to move KOT out of number one after beating Carr. Tough ask.

It’s not like it won’t happen, and like I said, the NCAA no longer worries about letting conference top guys sort it out before the finals.

 

[Just another PSU Fan]

I have no problem with Bastida getting the #1 over Kerk ... the schedule that ISU had gave him the better head-2-head quality points. When he mauled Feldman at CKLV he got my attention

Was the fix score 8-5. If so how is that a major?
