@174 Dylan Lydy drops a 5-3 decision to Myles Amine of Michigan. @285 Mason Parris with a tight 10-7 victory over Jacob Aven of Purdue. Parris got a little sloppy and gave up a take down in the 1st period and getting a little too aggressive in the 3rd trying to turn him and Aven slipped out and came through the bottom to reverse him. A nice win by Parris and Aven battled him hard.

Nick Lee wins the much anticipated rematch with Chad Red 5-4. Purdue and Michigan starting now... @133 Stevan Micic with a dominating 9-1 win over Ben Thornton. Micic was very strong riding but was only able to get 2 back points on a quick tilt. Had several others where he got 1 1/2 swipes but couldn't hold it. Nevertheless, there was no chance for Thornton on bottom. Micic moves to 8-0 on the season and will hold his #1 ranking.

This just in..... Jason Nolf is pretty good

I believe the rule is you have to come above the waist within those 5 seconds

We'll agree to disagree. Red initiated zero offense until about :30 left with Nick having a 5-3 lead. Red played defense the whole match and never tried to score. His only takedown was off a scramble after a Lee shot.

Lots of tying up and hand fighting to begin..... Red not initiating anything and doing nothing but stepping back to avoid Lee's shot attempts. Stall warning on Red. Lee gets in on a single leg. Red fights it off for a good 30-40 seconds and rolls through and gets hold of Lee's leg. Lee gets the leg free and spins behind for the takedown. Lee with a spiral ride. Red gets up, but Lee returns him and they go out of bounds w/ :05 left in the first period. After the first period, it's 2-0 Nick Lee. 2nd Period starts with Red on top. Lee starts to get out and changes to a switch attempt. Red hangs on for dear life and a stalemate is called with 1:05 remaining. Red hangs on and Lee comes close to getting out but Red hands on. Stall call on Red, 3-0 Nick Lee with :12 left. Period ends 3-0 Lee leading with Red having a 1:12 riding time advantage. 3rd Period starts with Lee on top. Red escapes with riding time reduced to :56. Lee gets in on a single, Red rolls though. Big scramble and Red gets the takedown. 3-3 all tied up with Red gaining riding time advantage again. Stalling on Red makes it 4-3 Lee as Red hangs on to Lee's legs. Lee stands up and gets the escape to take a 5-3 lead. Both wrestlers facing off in the middle. Red pushes the action for the first time. Lee gets a Stall warning as they go out of bounds. They lock up, Lee pushes Red and he falls down. Lee remains in the middle as time wanes. No takedown for Red as time expires and Lee takes a 5-4 win after Red's riding time is added. Nick Lee wins 5-4

Lee vs. Red starts NOW!

Penn State Media Notes for Nebraska

This should all get hammered out tomorrow, but the link at the end is Nebraska's media notes for this weekend's matches. Much of the reason for the questioning of Red this year is due to his poor record. Below is his 2018-19 results, not including Friday night's win at Maryland. Note 6 of his wins came in a December 8 tournament he wrestled in that was mostly D2/D3 wrestlers. Nebraska sent backups. So outside of this tournament, he is 6-6 on the year against D1 comp. 2018-19 RESULTS Date # Opponent (Team) Result Northeast Duals (Albany, N.Y.) 11/10 6 Matt Findlay (Utah Valley) L; D, 8-10 11/10 6 Nick Widmann (Drexel) W; D, 2-1 11/10 6 Sam Krivus (Virginia) L; D, 1-3 11/18 11 Sam Turner (Wyoming) W; D, 6-2 Cliff Keen Invitational (Las Vegas, Nev.)

That's sad to hear....

Mason really struggled tonight against Chad Beard of Michigan State, holding him off for a 5-3 decision. Beard was a full size 285 and short and squatty, yet had quick feet and was pretty flexible. He fought off several Parris takedown attempts and was big enough to make Mason really work. Mason rode him the whole 3rd period to cement the win. On the flip side, Stevan Micic either got a FF or a really quick pin as I missed the match completely. His match added 6 points to Michigan's total, but I switched to the IU - Purdue match for a minute and them came back and they were already at 141.

It is available on btn2go.com w/ subscription. A team subscription can be done for one month at $9.95, or all teams for $14.95. I bit the bullet and am keeping it for two months, right up until time for the NCAAs, which are free. When you sign up it says it has to be recurring billing, but when you put your payment method in, there is a place to uncheck if you don't want the payment to automatically renew unless you cancel. I had Indiana - Purdue, Michigan - Michigan State and Nebraska - Maryland all going tonight, and am about to start Iowa - Rutgers. With most Big Ten matches on Friday/Sundays, it won't interfere with Saturdays and HS matches (and other crap around the house to do).

This may have been covered already and if so, I missed it. He finished 2nd at State in both 2017 and 2018. Was listed in the IM Preview Mag, but haven't seen anything from him at all this season.

Red got his warm up in tonight with a 15-2 domination of Michael Doetsch of Maryland

Purdue wins fairly easily.... Disappointed Konrath does not appear to be in the lineup tonight

Nice job. Do you have any idea on what kind of crowd they are expecting or hoping for?

How does your belief change if said wrestler C is 5-3 or 6-2 two weights up and the losses were to quality wrestlers? And what if that wrestler is say 4-1 or 4-2 against wrestlers in that same sectional at the higher weight? Those two possibilities would have to factor in as well, no? (note the records used for example are completely made up) I think your point is valid in that there is no set answer in all circumstances.

Can't consider Curtis a lock because of Jesse Mendez and returning Champ Hunter Watts. But he is certainly in the mix as one of the favorites. 113 to 126 is a pretty big jump.

Was reading on Penn State board earlier today they seem to be few and far between. Schools are getting lower allotments (or at least less than they request). Looks like it may be an expensive ticket this year.

I'd probably add Garcia to that list. I know he has lost to Viduya before and had a close 3-1 match earlier this year, but I just don't see him losing under the lights. Would consider it a major upset if he doesn't win.
