Man, I had a real bad feeling when spark plug couldn’t ride Vrob in the 2nd that if sprat didn’t get it done before OT2 we were toast.

Disappointed but still a great tournament for Troy. He’ll come back even stronger next year.
Spratley needed to get a takedown before ride outs. He could not ride that kid at all and he doesn't get quick escapes. Bad day so far. Penn. St. wins and we lose so far.
semifinal takedown was rat poison for spratley
he was holding center but not forcing stall calls with lack of attacks.
should gone last minute of OT like he went last 30 of hideout

Bummed for Spratley, but he’s got 2 more years and he’ll be back. Another off-season to train when Gilman and this staff and he’s back here next year.
DC is absolutely wild on mic, I know he rubs some folks the wrong way but I love that he's just having fun.
The haters can mute it and gripe about people on their lawns. DC is the man
Robinson scored two takedowns in the dual countering Troy’s shots, I’m sure that made him hesitant to pull the trigger.
Should’ve gone the last 30 seconds of regulation AND the last minute of Sudden Victory the way he did the final 30, IMO.
The final 30 seconds of a tie match are essentially Sudden Victory anyway. And he wasn’t going to win in ride outs.
If you need a takedown to win… why not give yourself 2-3 shots at it instead of one sprawling effort when already trailing?
Worst case maybe you get some stall calls on Robinson while you’re aggressive.
If Robinson countered & wound up winning, so be it. He wound up winning anyway.
Agreed. Robinson's counters are lightning fast. Troy needs to figure out how to ride him for their next meeting.
No idea how they reversed the Henson TD. What did I miss?
Henson deserved to win that match. Lovett literally stalled for 7 minutes. How does he not get hit with multiple stall calls? The no takedown call was B.S.
nameless faceless booth review not ideal
He'll have to push the action next time then.
Agreed 100%. Henson got screwed
Henson missed time in January. I wonder if missing time and the fact he really only had one other competitive wrestler at his weight in his conference might have mattered. I know VT goes to CKLV and came to Stillwater but wonder if he might consider going somewhere else where he is pushed more during the season. I like VT but would like to get Henson if he ever decided to move somewhere else.
husker brick in the taylor match shoulda been a 5second review
Gotta give it to Nebraska this year. They on fire.
Not sure if the Huskers hired a sports psychologist or a witch doctor. Either way they have wrestled out of their gd minds in the postseason.
Nebraska coach threw a brick to challenge nothing and give his exhausted wrestler a break. That's sad.
They just lose Smith and Lovett (and Bubba Wilson who lost his spot to Minto).
You would think Brother Brock would be done since he graduated HS in 2018, but he's got another year (2 year mission + covid year + RS)
Lack of calling stalling is by far the biggest (on the mat) issue college wrestling has. It's made even worse by how bad it can be exploited due to 3 pt take downs giving a bigger cushion, it's especially noticeable in tight 1 takedown matches. Dudes can just flee for the last minute+...
I wanna know if there’s something physiologically different with MM that lets him keep that pace up all 7 minutes like that. Someone needs to study his lungs and blood cells.
Iowa does nothing for 6 minutes while PSU shoots about 12 times and no stalling calls. Last 1 minute of the match Iowa starts shooting and PSU gets hit for stalling. The inconsistency in stalling calls is a complete joke.
