Fish could end up finishing on the podium . He is capable of some big wins, but I don't feel he has wrestled on that level lately.
2025 NCAA Tournament
- Thread starter okokzach
- Start date
Hope we see lots of offense from our guys. I don’t have any data but my feeling is that they do better in toss up matches when they’re initiating the action.
He had two wins in the cons by bonus points, a pin and a TF, if I remember right. Then he couldn’t get through Berraclaugh’s defense and we got conservative Cam again and another loss.
This is what I like about this team's chances at nationals:
1.) They're healthy. I think they're about as healthy as they can be this time of year. I believe a huge part of that is this coaching staff paying particular attention to each wrestler all season long - knowing when to back off and let them recover properly, focusing on nutrition, focus on positive mental outlook etc. .
2.) They score lots of bonus points. Again this is at least partially a result of this staffs focus on pushing the pace and scoring lots of bonus points.
3.) They're in shape. Credit the staff again - I think we're going to see a team that wrestles hard for 7 minutes and pushes the pace.
4.) Mental attitude is good. I think this team is close and has a better mental attitude than in the past. Credit the coaches again.
5.) They are tough on the mat. Taylor has focused hard on tough mat wrestling and it certainly has shown. Tough, close matches at nationals are often won on the mat.
6.) Desire. I think this team just wants it more than I have seen the last few years.
7.) Peaking. I think this coaching staff has peaked this team appropriately in all phases.
Here's to hoping for a great tournament!!!

Great post! I’m anxious and nervous for tomorrow. Agree with everything above. I think as long as our guys stay offensive and look to score we are in really good shape.
Good luck you filthy animals. I hope you take second place.
