Spratley - I'm shaking my head. No reason in the world he should have lost that match. Two very dumb mistakes just gives the other kid the match.

Complete choke job by Spratley. Easy takedown and got sloppy on top and got reversed and couldn't escape. Gave up the TD when it counted. Same ol' SH!T
That sucked, definitely one he should have one. He was the aggressor the entire match but gave up one bad shot.
Stunning how bad Spratley screwed that match up, when it should have been so easy. He seemed to forget how good SDSU is on top and gets sloppy in the 1st period on top and sloppy in neutral in the 3rd period and loses a match he blew.
That was piss poor match management by Spratley. Kept getting in dangerous situations when riding and got reverse. Could have let him go in the 1st and been up 3-1 with riding time. I put that on the coaches. Piss ****ing poor
It’s a damn joke that this program is fighting for a top 10 finish and probably consider that a success. Sad times
I hate to rag on a freshman who has drastically improved throughout the season and who was almost an AA, but I hope he learns about how to wrestle with a lead. Give the kid an escape not a reversal and ride out for goodness sakes. Then learn how to defend yourself when the other kid must have a takedown to win.
Through the crappy parts whole tourney I've just coped with it but this one makes me feel sick.
Seems like smith adds pressure instead of taking it off the kids
Congrats to Neil Erisman and Little Rock on getting their 1st All-American in program history.
Ragusin has run and blocked off the entire match. If they give Fix a second stall call he is definitely getting screwed
I think the ref called locked hands as well as stalling. John is challenging the locked hands.
Not locked hands. Escape and stalling. On review, no stalling, but an escape.
He wasn't going to get the riding time in the tie break, so had to release him to try for a takedown.
Happy for Fix but I’m not sure he can beat Vito. Sure hope he finally gets one tomorrow.
I’m pretty sure Fix MD that Michigan kid last year with ease. Fix has wrestled terrible today. If he does his usual finals tighten up shit then his ass will get smoked
That was a GREAT win for Izzak Olejnik. Wow!
Good job by Olijnik to come from behind and win in SV with TD!
Stalling calls are so inconsistent it's ridiculous. The refs should look at a replay of the first 7 minutes of the match and ask themselves who took all the shots and who was blocking off for 7 minutes. Calling Fix for stalling in the match and not the other kid is an absolute joke. They should go back to the old way of calling takedowns in my opinion as well. Fix took him down with control for a full second before the kid rolled.
Hell of a comeback by Izzak, great. He had all the TD attempts but was countered

Vito has been the Vito from last year, MD's in all his matches including #3 & #2
