The coach pressers will be entertaining.

Wonder if we'll hear some crazy out of Tom? 

[Truzzcat]

does anyone know the most dual losses Iowa has taken in a season? 2 so far with PSU, tOSU, OKST, Nebraska 

[nhs67]

Pretty sure it would have been 63-45 even had PK got that escape within 12 seconds.

Iowa State came to actually wrestle.

[RandolphTJones]

Somehow intermat will still rank Iowa ahead of Ohio State

[Ragu]

Quick reactions, reffing was subpar, Iowa transfers looked flat, Dresser had his guys ready, loved that it started at 285, wish this was still twice a year

Congrats to Rocky, the Elam family, and Iowa State.  I'll be cheering for you till the MU dual. 

A Tiger wrestling fan.

They certainly did. They beat the #2 team in 6 out of 10 matches, and were usually the more aggressive wrestlers. ISU looked really, really tough in this dual.

The refs consistently favored the Hawkeyes.

I loved it. Loved the energy of it all. 

Except for Ferrari. He nearly put me in a coma. 

[CHROMEBIRD]

Ngl, this one stings, but it was still a genuinely fun dual to watch. Thought the score wouldn't have been as close as it was, actually if Dresser's guys had better in-match awareness of bonus scoring (Bastida, Ech, etc.). Jordan Williams might be walking home in the snow.

[BAC]

Is it just me, or was that ref insanely pro-Iowa?  

--Wouldn't call an escape, OR stalling, when Ech was trying to let up Bailey at the end, and Bailey just sat there.  Repeatedly.

--Williams was totally exposed on his back by Zerban for like 10 seconds and weirdly the ref wouldn't count backs, so Zerban finally had to abandon the move.  Wouldn't ding Williams for stalling either despite clamming up on bottom.

--The stall call on Gaitan at the end of regulation was bogus.  Totally tried to hand the match to Iowa.

--Ferrari wins on a totally unearned stall call.  Dean wasn't doing much but Ferrari was doing even less. Again tried to hand the match to Iowa, this time successfully.

Was there even a single stall call against Iowa, besides maybe one on Bailey (who should've been stalled out)?  Objectively, ISU totally outworked Iowa in that dual outside of Caliendo, and yet the ref gives Iowa a pass while throwing all these unearned late-match stall calls against ISU.  Crazy.

No doubt about it, the ref was pro-Iowa. He could've cost ISU the match.

Ferrari why? He was in on five shots that he should have scored on but it was amazing defense by Iowa St.

[Greenwave]

Not to be missed but Brands walked off without shaking ISU coaches and wrestlers hands.  
 

Not a good look on national tv when your wrestlers do it and your assistants do it.

Angelo doing that after winning 2-1 when his team needs bonus to win the dual what a tool

Yeah, when you are ranked #1 and you win 2-1 over the #10 guy, with an escape and a late stall point, in a match where every team point counts, you don't taunt the crowd.  You hang your head and slink off the mat.

Feel like the Brands do not know the criteria rules they needed Angelo to push for a major.

Maybe Ferrari did...

Truth is brands is just unlucky. You take away Goat Sanderson brands would have made Iowa forget about Gable. But those are the brakes.

The match is up on YouTube for those who haven’t seen it yet

[El Luchador]

Watch it while you can.

Not true. He was at the head of the hand shake line. This was shown briefly at the end of the broadcast before the dresser interview

[ionel]

Can Espn get rid of the basketball announcer and just stick with the wrestling guys that know the sport?
