Missouri vs Iowa State

[PortaJohn]

Feel for Johnson there.  Hell of a finish

[Wrestleknownothing]

Match took too long. Past the 15 minute edit period, but Johnson in deep, Mauller wizzers, then turns the wizzer into a pinfall. Holy crap.

[buckshot]

Johnson was robbed

I didn't catch either guys name. Not sure who is wrestling. Some guy named Carr against another guy named O'Toole apparently.

Carr dances, O'Toole stalks. Nothing yet. O'Toole sweep single attempt, Carr double attempt neither connect. Carr in deep on the left leg, working around and hooks the ankle. O'Toole splits the right leg back, but Carr keeps working for the TD. 2-0. end of 1.

Carr quick escape 3-0. O'Toole gets the TD but Carr out immediately. 4-2. Refs want to take a look. Call stands. 1:31 left. Carr stuffs O'Toole's shot. O'Toole gets the ankle, but Carr gets out and turns on O'Toole and gets the TD with 4 secs to go. 6-2 Carr after 2.

O'Toole up to his feet but back down quickly. Carr over a minute of RT. Resetting. O'Toole very active on bottom. Carr hanging on to leg, gets the stall, and they reset. Carr finishes on top. 7-2. Very impressive.

Looks like you mixed up the names and had me worried. Jacques won 2-0

Glad we're not seeing a duck here with the dual locked up for Mizzou.

Sorry about that.

[pawrestler]

Wow! I thought this would be a great match (and it was) but didn’t see Carr handling it like this

[Crotalus]

Sorry about that.

No worries. Appreciate the play-by-play.

[Mike]

Dominating performance by Carr. Very impressive.  

[lightweight]

Here were the predictions from the other thread.  Could've made money betting on Carr:

1. 1. Carr vs O'Toole

   • David Carr
      
      15
   • Kegan O'Toole
      
      32
   • Carr Duck
      
      5
   • O'Toole Duck
      
      3

[flyingcement]

I forget which I voted, but I predicted a duck

[pawrestler]

What do people think about this? I feel like this is recency bias. This match was great but gotta think Gomez 9-2 (or close) over Yianni was more impressive?

I think the perception around the Gomez-Yianni match up is that it was more flukey in that the 4 point move is more difficult to replicate, where as here Carr just seemed a class above KOT. Also Gomez didn't score offensively until over halfway thru the second period, whereas Carr was in control throughout.  Pure eye test in this one, to me, is that this was the best performance, so I agree with CP.  Great from both winners, though.

Big Elam is a round of 12 guy at best. Just hasn't been able to improve much from year to year. 

That's because Dom Bradley is probably working with him in the room.  Do you remember Dom's style of wrestling?

[MidwestMan]

I just got home from the 2 hr drive to CoMo.  Lots of exciting/close matches and good crowd in attendance when you consider it's a Wednesday night dual.  Glad to see the "home boys" win the dual.  Kudos are in order to Carr for winning the feature match, and to both for not ducking and helping to fill the seats.  Already looking forward to round two and KO's adjustments.  Going to be a lot of good battles between these two and will elevate both for next level.  Iowa State is my 2nd favorite team and I root for them as long as they are not wrestling my Tigers.  Have a lot of respect for Dresser and what he is doing with that program.

Yeah...that's true, but he was damn close a couple times in the 1st period as well.

I thought that was the extent of the excitement that match would bring. Obviously...I was wrong.

[Mizzou Fan]

Very exciting dual!  Great win for Mauller and Mizzou.  O'Toole will be back.  Can't wait to see all the great matches at Big 12 championship in just over 2 weeks.  See y'all in Tulsa!

Swiderski ISU Hart Mizz

Hart looking like he is borrowing Bo Nickal's noodle arms. And he uses them like Nickal to get a leg elevated and finishes for 2. Tring for back points but only two swipes. Has Swiderski stretched out and flat. Swiderski not doing a thing on bottom. Stalemate called as Hart reaches for the bow and arrow. Come on. I want that b&a. Stall on Swiderski. Hart gets a loose cradle and can't hold it. Ends 2-0 with 2:34 of RT.

Start neutral in second. Swiderski pressuring gets an ankle pick but can't finish and they scramble. Stopped for blood. Both guys looking to wrestle from distance. Swiderski on the ankle leg elevated, can't get around behind, and period ends. 2-0.

Swiderski lets Hart up 3-0 to start third.  Hart in deep on a single elevates, Swiderski hopping, and Hart with the TD. 5-0. Rides out the third, gets a stall 7-0. Cuts him too late to get the major.  7-1 final.

Why no nearfall with two swipes?
