Ahap88 Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 The Hoosiers send 6 wrestlers into the semi finals tomorrow. Fongaro, G. Rooks, Lillard, Rogotzke, Washington, and Sollars. If Gilcher were available, I feel like he would be in there, too. Anyone know the extent of his injury and likely return? Also Blake Boarman of the host UT Chattanooga from Mater Dei. Feel free to add any Indiana natives I might have missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahap88 Posted January 3 Author Share Posted January 3 Rogotzke with a fantastic come from behind pin after whiffing on a cement mixer and nearly being pinned himself, to take 3rd @ 184. 2 champions, G Rooks and Fongaro. Lillard and Washington defaulted out. Sollars a hard fought 4th place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nk140 Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 Lillard's injury looked bad. The north Colorado kid got DQ for flagrant misconduct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattM Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 (edited) They ended in 3rd just a few points behind Oklahoma due to the HWT final. 2 Champs, 1 Runner Up, 1 3rd and 2 4th. Not a bad showing for the Hoosiers especially with a couple starters not in the lineup. Edited January 3 by MattM Ahap88 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lillard was in the splits defending a takedown the guy stands with Lillard's leg and drove his knee into Lillards knee hyperextending it. Looked like he was frustrated not being able to score Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looked like he was frustrated not being able to score I found it on the mat 2 replay and watched it. That wasn't a legitimate wrestling move. Probably should've been stalemated in the first place, they were in that position too long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAJR Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 (edited) Don't know any specific details, just saw that he (DJ) was helped up and off the mat after his win in the semi-finals. Hated to see him "limping" off the mat with assistance and hope it isn't serious. Edited January 4 by RAJR clarification Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not unlike DJ’s injury a season or so back by Purdue wrestler at Wilkinson. So what can be done ,or what can you do, about these intentional moves?

Disco Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Lillard is not the first person this POS has injured or tried to injure, there seems to be a host of others. What a shame for the IU wrestler. Head coaches ,in this situation ,need to speak up and take a leadership role in addressing conduct of this nature. Easytofind 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iu , NCAA , and coaches association should be in the middle of this discussion. No doubt she lawyerd up and got some good advice. It can’t be tolerated. Too bad for the sport of wrestling neither coach ,for the respective teams involved here , spoke up. Everyone should be outraged. This kind of behavior has to be snuffed immediately as it happens. It’s so easy to do because of the nature of the sport. This can put a damper on popularity or growth of wrestling real quick. Easytofind 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahap88 Posted January 13 Author Share Posted January 13 Glad to see Lillard in the lineup at Rutgers tonight. I was afraid he might have been lost for the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
