matts Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 (edited) Frustrating that schools like Rider, Little Rock (x2), Campbell, and Columbia can put people on the podium, but both our B1G schools are shut out again. I know IU is getting better, and Purdue had success last year, but still frustrating nonetheless.

wrestleman101 Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 Also interesting side note, possible 8-9 year age gap between true freshmen and some of these seniors. Personally not a fan of this at all. Hopefully this doesn't become a common trend. tyquhp13 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes qualifying or AA’ing at D3, D2, or D1 all that more impressive for those that graduated high school in 2021 or after. They have had to deal with this extra Covid year their entire college careers if they were not red-shirted. MUSKEEWRESTLER 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That match was SCARY as a Mendez fan. I hadn't seen Echemendia. That dude is physical and on you. He wore Mendez down in a way that I haven't seen. I can't believe he took 5 losses coming into nationals. Beamaker and MUSKEEWRESTLER 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's funny, too, how matchups matter. Woods controlled Echemendia twice, Mendez pushed Woods around--but Echemendia was such a handful for Mendez. busstogate 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Compared to this year, I think he was just slightly back up the hill at his true apex then. And a once-in-a-lifetime throw by a guy who's never hit a throw took what was so nearly his. busstogate and Beamaker 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Echemendia is every bit as physical as Mendez, wrestles a very similar style and is perhaps just as quick as Mendez. Watching that match as a Mendez fan myself, that 3rd period was bad for my health; but boy was it something to behold as a fan of the sport. That match literally could have gone either way in an instant. Just glad it went Mendez way this time. MUSKEEWRESTLER and busstogate 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UncleJimmy Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 (edited) LFG! 10 years ago if u had told me I’d have college wrestling on my main screen or any screen during March madness I’d have laughed in your face.

Well done! Davison definitely deserves some love. That was one heck of a tournament run. Unfortunately Kerkvliet stood in the way of a story book ending. But hey he gave us Indiana boys two NCAA D1 finalists & fun ride. Hats off to Mr. Lucas Davison!
