Pokes win the toss and select 165 as the starting weight.

Robert Allen on the call....oh boy this should be interesting!!

 

[OSUMatFan]

Allen seems to be doing a pretty good job. He stays engaged. Wyatt was competitive, but not quite enough and drops a decision 7-4.

Who?
Sparks & Gibbons

 

[turfpoke]

Sheets looked like adrenaline may have gotten him.

 

[turfpoke]

Stalling on Plott? Seriously

 

[turfpoke]

Rex would rather do a baseball game than OSU/Iowa.

 

[turfpoke]

Did the assistant ref come from the Yagla school?

 

[pokes_fan00]

And the rout is on…

WTF Plott?

 

[turfpoke]

Plott loses 3-2. Brands a professional staller.

 

[driad]

That may have been the most boring 3-2 match in history

 

[Pokes1988]

Not sure how TF Brands doesn’t get a stalling point against him. He literally did nothing the last minute or so.

Sheets should’ve won but oh well.

 

[lincolnhs]

Who?
Sparks & Gibbons

[Cypresspoke]

Brands just grabbed on the whole 3rd period, not wrestling…

 

[lincolnhs]

so is plott hurt or simply just not wrestling up to his potential?

 

[turfpoke]

I think he’s hurt.

 

[lincolnhs]

I think he’s hurt.

thank you!

 

[bwel9339]

This is tough to watch… We’re wrestling like we are intimidated. No killer instinct.

 

[Wally12]

Our guys look ill-prepared.

 

[turfpoke]

Wittlake loses 4-2 to Abe Assad. Iowa great at making the best of their couple of shots then stalling.

 

[turfpoke]

Stalemate during Surber’s pinning combination.

 

[turfpoke]

Surber needs to learn how to escape.

 

[jon_osu]

I think he’s hurt.

looked like he
had a wrap around his ribs in the dual with the land thieves

 

[driad]

that riding time is all ****ed up

 

[turfpoke]

Surber loses 3-2 on a locked hands call.

 

[ionel]

Masters of the stall.

 

[lawpoke87]

Did Surber attempt one legit shot?

 

[Pokes1988]

I think Surber got hosed… coaches lost there minds on the dangerous position call. Felt like Surber wasn’t getting a push because dude was holding his headgear….

Iowa is not very good imo. They get a 1-point lead and immediately go to stalling and get nothing called on them. 3 matches in a row over a minute of stalling.

 

[okiepokie]

Iowa knows how to stall! They wrestle we win 3 of the 4

 

[Mrgrapple]

The ref is definitely helping Iowa.

 

[grumpy_okie]

Everyone gets the benefit of stalling a bit more at home, home field/court/mat ref bias is a known real phenomenon, you just have to deal with it... we're still wrestling like shit. I mean locked hands... come tf on. We're at real danger of losing this thing 27-3, and ALOT more of the rests on the orange and black than it does the black and gray.

Is that bs potentially dangerous call something we have fight through? Or the stalemate while surber is working toward NF? Sheets had the escape 95% of the time in the 1st period. Kennedy was dragging him out of bounds and sheets got away but they said no.

 

[ionel]

Did the assistant ref come from the Yagla school?

Yes

 

[turfpoke]

Jim Gibbons knows Iowa is stalling. Ref calls it on red.

 

[driad]

For being the Cowboys our kids seem to get rode alot.

 

[turfpoke]

Cassioppi isn’t doing anything on bottom. Call stalling on bottom.

Tough place to win against this Iowa team, we are a younger improving team. Important thing is are we learning something that will help us in the tourneys. I thinks so, we are competing.

 

[Okie_Pat]

We look like shit

 

[Mrgrapple]

Iowa may not need any help but they are getting it.

I agree. Disappointing that Wittlake gave up that cheap TD at the end of the first.
Sheets can win that match.
Plott isn’t healthy and Brands’ strength is to stall. I don’t think Starocci took him down.
Surber is better than Warner.
Doucet is much better than I thought he would be. Cassioppi is a big stud HWT.
