    The NCAA says if you bought tix through them or an official source you will be automatically refunded minus applicable fees. Hilton said they will allow cancellations even for no- cancel and pre paid reservations. Other chains are likely to follow. Most airlines are already offering vouchers or free rebooking. All of these kinds of things are why you see the stock market tanking. The impact on economic activity has many concerned.

    No audience has been confirmed. Or at least a tiny audience. "Essential staff and limited family attendance" was in Emmert's statement. Now with the NBA going first in suspending games, will others follow? I think the wrestling tournament is more likely to get cancelled than go forward. And that makes me sad.

    On Flo's bracket show they referred to the potential Real Woods v Chad Red quarterfinal as the "Irrational Confidence Quarter". Got a good chuckle out of me.
  7. wrestlenewbie
    Maybe I do know something after all (no comments about blind squirrels or stopped clocks, please). Chad Red gets the 6 seed. Sadly no all Indiana final this year.

    9th - 13 NCAA qualifiers ranks tied for ninth most by state with Iowa. Pennsylvania leads the pack with 48, followed by Ohio (31), Illinois (28), NJ (23), California (19), NY (17), Michigan (17) and Minnesota (16). 6th - Using the Flo rankings you can also come up with a projected number of points scored by state (assuming no bonus points). Here Indiana moves up to 6th with 91.5. Penn still leads the pack at 254 followed by Ohio (152), Illinois (139), NJ (104.5) and Minn (95.5). 3rd - But things get real interesting when you calculate projected points per wrestler. Now Indiana moves up to third on the list at 7.04. Indiana only trails West Virginia (13.5) and Arizona (9.8), but those two states have only 2 and 3 wrestlers qualified, respectively. 1st - If you limit the list to the 11 states with double digit wrestlers qualified Indiana leads by a decent margin:

    I heard that comment on FRL today too. The funniest part about that is they start by touting Nomad's bona fides on NCAA seeding. Brag about how he knows the seeding criteria better than anyone else in the media. Than they completely ignore the criteria that Nomad had just written up in an article that morning to say Red will probably be the 3 seed because that is where he is in their rankings. By the criteria I think he is 6th, but there is a secondary process, that I am not at all clear on, that can lead to variation around the criteria. Piecing things together from different sources, it sounds like after the criteria seeding they then review for things that dont pass the sniff test. It also sounds like there is a max number of slots that a wrestler can be moved up or down from the initial criteria. A lot of words to say, I dont really know anything.

    With a strong 3rd at Big 10s he definitely improved his stock, but among the top 10 wrestlers he has the lowest win % (1 of 7 weighted criteria for seeding), a lower conference placement than Real Woods, Ian Parker, Dom Demas and Zach Sherman, a lower RPI and coaches ranking (prior to conference tournaments) than Woods, Demas, Parker, and Murin. He does have head to head over Murin. So is he the 6 seed behind Pletcher, Lee, Woods, Parker and Demas? Or does he wind up behind Murin, Moran, Sherman or any others?
  11. wrestlenewbie
    The match was a lot closer than the poll. Looked like Red had more of a plan than the last time they met. Just needs to work on getting up after a takedown against Lee.
  12. wrestlenewbie
    Who ya got? I say Lee makes it 3-1 tonight in Big 10 semis.

    Its behind their paywall, but there is an interview on Flo with Ersland today saying he wants 8. https://www.flowrestling.org/events/6675535-2020-big-ten-wrestling-championship/videos?playing=6728925&limit=60

  17. wrestlenewbie
    Yes. But my point is that there is something missing. Murin has only one loss, but he also sat out the Ohio State and Penn State duals. So while Moran and Red have 3 Big 10 dual loses, 2 each are to Pletcher and Lee. The two guys Murin didn't wrestle. Too often guys are rewarded for NOT taking the mat ala Mike Carr. I am glad to see that they took the opposite tack with Parris and Steveson.
  18. wrestlenewbie
    Unfortunately Jacob Covaciu is unable to go and Indiana has no entry at 174. The other surprise for me is that Chad Red only got the #4 seed. I think he should be the #3 seed. Instead Max Murin gets the #3 despite the fact that he lost the head to head to Red. The case for Murin could only be that he has fewer conference loses than Red, but it is easier to have fewer loses when you do not take the mat against Luke Pletcher or Nick Lee. This is similar to last year when Mike Carr got the #1 seed at Big 10's in spite of not having wrestled Joey McKenna or Nick Lee during the regular season. It is clearly not as consequential as last year. Last year the Carr side of the bracket was clearly the place to be and that is not just hindsight talking. This year you get either Pletcher or Lee in your half of the bracket. Pick your poison. Still it is a bad look to have someone who lost the head to head and was unable to wrestle the guys above him, seeded higher.

    IU with no entry at 174 for the Big 10 tournament, so I guess we have our answer on Covaciu's injury. https://bigten.org/news/2020/3/2/big-ten-wrestling-pre-seeds-announced.aspx

    My apologies to Kyle Hatch. I looked through DII and DIII and just flat out missed that.

    Flo posted their latest rankings this morning. The state of Indiana gains four slots total as both Parris and Lee jump up 2 spots each to number 6 and number 3, respectively. What they had to say: 6) Mason Parris (Michigan), 285 Now that we got to see Lee/Pletcher, the most anticipated Big Ten final will be Mason Parris against Gable Steveson. His 36-percent pin rate is behind only that of Vincenzo Joseph, and he has wins over the guys ranked third through sixth in his weight class. Whether or not he ends up a Hodge finalist, Parris has been a bright spot for this Wolverines team and only helps the case that Michigan can be a trophy team when their guys on Olympic Redshirt return. Dominance Score - 4.4 Bonus Rate - 64% Average Time on Mat - 5:13 Ranked Wins - 7 3) Nick Lee (Penn State), 141 Lee won the mega matchup with Luke Pletcher, winning the takedown battle, picking up a stall point, and earning riding time. Combined with his wins over Jaydin Eierman and Frank Molinaro at Senior Nationals, it's clear the Indiana native has jumped levels in his third season. He'll play a huge part in the Nittany Lions' trying to fend off Iowa to win their fifth consecutive team title. Dominance Score - 4.67 Bonus Rate - 83% Average Time on Mat - 5:33 Ranked Wins - 7

    You guys are probably still spent from the weekend, so I thought I would help a little with the results I could find for college: Friday Chad Red pins Mitch McKee (Minnesota) in 3:53. If Mitch McKee never sees another Indiana wrestler, that will probably be alright with him. Brayton Lee tech falls Christian Miller (Nebraska) 23-8 Mason Parris earns a 10-1 major over Jon Spaulding (Edinboro) Garrett Pepple loses in a 7-3 decision to Drew Marten (Central Mich) Cayden Rooks earns a 12-2 major over Wade Cummings (Chattanooga) Graham Rooks loses 12-8 to Tanner Smith (Chattanooga) Diego Lemly gets pinned by Hunter Fortner (Chattanooga) in 4;16 Nick Willham loses in a 14-4 major to Rodney Jones (Chattanooga) Rudy Streck loses a 6-3 decision to Grayson Walthall (Chattanooga) Sunday Nick Lee earns a 7-3 decision over Salvatore Profaci (American) Bonus Cross Over Content Could be college. Could be high school. Is both. Matt Lee enters the Mat Town II tournament as a high school senior and takes home third at 157. After beating Jonrocco Kazalas (Binghamton) 11-3 in the round of 16 he lost to red-shirt junior Elijah Cleary (Ohio State) 8-1. On the back side he had consecutive wins over Benny Baker (Finger Lakes) by a score of 16-3, Garrett Fisk (Maryland) 3-2, and Wyatt McCarthy (Rider) 4-3 before receiving third in a no contest victory of number 1 seed Jon Ross (Lock Haven).

    Am I the only one how found it odd that the first two times a guy is on his back in this match the ref makes no attempt to look for the pin? Just kind of moves slowly on his feet around them. That is not a complaint, by the way. This one needed to go the distance.
