Maybe Work On Your Defense Trivia

[Wrestleknownothing]

I do not know how I feel about this question. It is a pretty obscure one, but here goes.

Who holds the record for most points scored while going 0-2 at a single NCAA tournament?

How about the guy who won NC with the fewest points scored for the entire season?  You gotta have defense for that no?

Probably Tsirtsis.

I can think of a guy from Illinois and one from OSU who might be in the running.

Hard to say. During the regular season he had a 42% bonus rate. It was during the Big10 and NCAA tournies that he really locked it down. In 2014 he only scored 15 points on the way to his title. But it is unknown if that is the lowest total ever for a title winner with 5 decisions.

In 1953 Cornell's Don Dickason scored 13 points in the 4 matches for which a score was recorded in the bracket. The fifth match is just listed as a ref's decision. If the score was 0-0 or 1-1, the "title" would belong to Dickason. Dickason won three of his five matches by ref's decision. One was recorded as 2-2, one was recorded as 1-1, and one had no score attached.

There is probably no truth to the rumor that Dickason's uncle was the ref that day, but he is the only wrestler to win three matches by ref's decision in a single tournament.

Yes and John Lockhart.

Hint: Our wrestler was always on the offense. While he went 0-2 as a sophomore, he finished 5th and 7th the next two years while never putting up fewer than 7 points in a match that went 7 minutes.

Winner, winner.

Well done. 

With a 19-12 loss in the round of 32 followed by a 21-13 loss in the opening consol round he went down swinging just hard enough to edge out Oklahoma State's Jeff Ragan, who needed three loses to amass his 24 match points.
