    Red in a barnburner now. Got headlocked and thrown to his back. Was in trouble but was able to roll through and get a reversal. Only gave up 2 back points. Lucky it wasn't 4, IMO. 5-5 going into the 3rd. Chad does have over 2 minutes of riding time.

    He was definitely hurting. Even sat down to have it looked at just off the mat as soon as his match was over. He toughed that one out, getting the 8-3 win after hurting the ankle in the 1st period. Micic lost 7-3 to Allan Hart of Missouri. He just really struggles to get out when on bottom. Mat 5 now with Chad Red. Nick Lee on deck on Mat 6

    Jordan Slivka lost 7-4 in his opener. Big Ten 125's dropping like flies... Drew Hildebrandt loses to Noto 4-2 in sudden victory Malik Heinselman drops a 7-2 dec to Taylor LaMont Devin Schroder loses 4-1 to Sam Latona Drake Ayala falls 12-9 to Fabian Gutierrez Patrick McKee downed 8-5 by Caleb Smith

    Kicking off shortly with Jordan Slivka on Mat 5 and Drew Hildebrandt on deck on Mat 3!

    I thought it was interesting that both Nick Lee and Max Dean, in an interview earlier this week, talked about not paying attention to who they are wrestling during the tournament and looking ahead. Both said they rely on their coaches to let them know if there is anything specific they need to know about an opponent. They want to focus on their own offense and training and score as many points as possible. To me that shows extreme confidence and focus. I'd be looking at the bracket and visualizing all of the possible scenarios ahead of me.

    What was the weight for the match? Can't remember...
  7. SWINfan
    They were kinda good

    I'm right there with you on Mason. Been a big fan since I first saw him his freshman year as well. While I hope Penn St. does well, I'll root for Mason over Kerk all day long. He did get a break in the draw. I don't think beating Cohlton Schultz and Cassioppi will be easy, but hopefully he'll get it done.

    It's funny.... I never thought he was very good (meaning I thought he was good, but just that), yet he keeps winning and surpassing what I think he'll do. I gave up underestimating him last year. This year, I do like his chances to get to the Quarterfinal against RBY. You never know what will happen on the back side, but I like his chances to be on the podium.

    I'm really looking forward to Thursday! Anyone interested in discussing any matches, not just IN kids, feel free. I'll definitely be around. - I'm hoping to see a good performance from Penn State and expect them to take home the team trophy as well as up to 5 individual titles. But things can and do happen, so who knows what will happen. - Will definitely follow all Indiana kids as well. - Lots of great early matchups. Wrestling begins at 11 am (Central) Thursday. Broadcast on ESPNU from 11:00 - 2:30). 2nd Round is on ESPN beginning at 6:00 pm (Central) on ESPN. All mats available on ESPN3/Watch ESPN. Friday is the same, except the semifinals on ESPN start an hour later at 7:00 pm Central. Let's do this! Who are you rooting for/watching?

    Does anyone know if there will be a Maurer Coughlin Academy Duals again this year? It's Freestyle, but you saw a lot of these type matchups last year. Check out the results below. MCWC Freestyle Academy Duals 2021

    Wyatt Willman at 182 is a bit ambitious, I'd guess. He wrestled most of this year at 220 before dropping to 195 right before sectional
  13. SWINfan
    It would be awesome to see Nick beat Stevan Micic and Andrew Alirez in the Quarter and Semifinal and Chad Red for the Title. That likelihood is probably less than 1%

    Here is an Interactive Bracket in Excel/Google Sheets, for the tournament. Download or save a copy to use and you can play with different scenarios. See "Guide" tab for instructions. Interactive NCAA Bracket

    I don't have a strong opinion either way, but wonder what makes you so confident?
  16. SWINfan
    Not to mention, Red faces Dresden Simon in round 1, who he lost to last year in the 2nd Round of Nationals. Rivera hurt his knee in a Feb. 18 dual against Princeton and was held out of their final dual against Columbia. . He wore a heavy brace in his first 2 BTT matches and seemed unaffected before MFF out. We'll see how 2 weeks of rest helps. Not sure what the severity of Eierman's issue is, but he was wearing a brace as well. It's been reported he tweaked it in the dual against Chad Red. It will definitely be a tough road for Chad.

    Short-timers did not get rewarded this year, esp 125 and 157 for Penn St

    Brackets just released... Trying to digest now. What do you see?? Initial Hoosier related thoughts.... 1. Sucks Brayton Lee isn't wrestling this year. Hope he heals up and is back at it! 2. Drew Hildebrandt's Big Ten performance bit him in the ass. Get's the 16 seed and will face #1 Nick Suriano in round 2 3. Hudkins could break thru to the QF if he wrestles well. Got the 13 seed 4. 141 is DEEP - Nick Lee got as good a draw as expected as the #1 seed. He could see Stevan Micic in the QF, but the 24 seed doesn't make it an easy road to get there for Micic. He opens against Missouri's Allan Hart, the 9 seed. Chad Red landed the 19 seed and has about as tough a draw as he could get. He faces #14 Dresdon Simon of CMU and then would square off against Sebastian Rivera in Round 2. With Rivera hobbling with a knee issue, anything is possible, but Red will have to face and beat 2 veterans off the bat, or make noise on the consolation side 5. A big ouch comes from Athens Ohio as Jordan Slivka gets the 32 seed and would face defending National Champ David Carr if he gets past his Prelim match against the 33 seed Derek Holschlag of Northern Iowa 6. Donnell Washington landed the 26 seed and faces Ohio State's Kaleb Romero. DW lost to Romero 5-0 last season 7. Andrew Davison is the 28 seed and faces National Runner UP Nino Bonaccorsi of Pitt. Thomas Penola earned the 11 seed and faces Owen Pentz of NDSU. Win that and he'll likely see Iowa's Jacob Warner. 8. Mason Parris got "stuck"with the 7 seed, which may have been a nice gift. That puts him on the opposite side of the bracket of Gable Steveson. Lucas Davison was not so lucky and got the 9 seed. Win his first 2 matches and he'll see Steveson in the quarterfinal.

    Washington could make some noise if he's healthy. He just looked FAR from healthy last weekend. Not sure what kind of success Hudkins could have. Will have a little better idea tonight

    Seeding show at 5 pm Central Time on Ncaa.com today Lots of questions to be answered, which will create more questions, the fun kind!

    Don't forget Penn State plucked Brady Berge from coaching at South Dakota State mid-season and inserted him into the lineup, first at 165 as he made his way down to 157. As for the MFF's, I agree that I don't care for them. But Iowa does seem to have some guys banged up, including Cassioppi a bit. Yeah, he could have gone out there, but.... And I heard Rivera had a minor knee procedure done 2 weeks ago and had planned on MFFs after he qualified. I hadn't heard that ahead of time and was a bit miffed at the time. If true, I guess it is understandable. My guess is Mason will get either the 5 or 6 seed. #6 would be preferable for the reasons you mentioned. Regardless, it should be fun in 2 weeks
  22. SWINfan
    8 wins total for the tournament, 3 of those came in the 9th-12th Place brackets. Ouch
  23. SWINfan
    On a separate note, I'll repost here.... Congrats to Connor Gimson, NAIA National Champ!
  24. SWINfan
    Could happen, but if the team race is on the line, that may not happen. My gut is that the more Nick Lee wrestles Eierman, the more comfortable he becomes. All we can do is watch and enjoy.

    Connor Gimson NAIA National Champion! Congrats!!
