my setup is working great!

Coming soon at B10 Spencer, NOT Bruce

Arena has power and on as scheduled! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I would not be mad if Hamiti shocked the world and won nationals

I just can’t picture Robb winning a title.

Nah, at this point he’s gotten over people spelling his name incorrectly.

It's the first day of the postseason and FloArena appears to be down. You have to admire their consistency.

Quick, check Sasso’s bat for cork!

You mean John?

Then the answer is no

Go Gophers! Great first session.

Saldate caught him on the roll

If you took a shot very time they said ‘Spencer Lee’ in the last ten minutes you’d be dead

He wrestles more like Nelson Morningstar.

I need a smoke after watching that one...

It is a huge pet peeve of mine when guys try to keep it to a respectable lose instead of taking a chance for a victory. This article uses hockey as an example, but it can be applied to a lot of things: https://www.semanticscholar.org/paper/Pulling-the-Goalie:-Hockey-and-Investment-Asness-Brown/75cea024e4ca60e703a18e1a019203530f0b0033

How was the match going before the fall? Glad to see him turning it on at the right time. Hart was up 4-2 & riding tough in the third. He had 2-3 minutes RT and had been trying to hookup a cradle. Got it hooked up and the party was over. Agreed with Idaho, looked good. More physical than last year, so maybe a good final.

The action call near the end of the Dean match is a perfect example of why they need the pushout rule. The ref had called Dean for stalling about 10 seconds before so he wouldn't make the second call that quickly even though it was clearly not an action situation. In other words he would have called stalling on Dean for just bailing out of bounds if he hadn't called stalling 10 seconds before. But he didn't because ... college ref. It's indefensible. They need the push out. Even the most ossified sporting organization anywhere, MLB, has made some rule changes.

Huskers 5 for 5. Too bad nobody on here would have predicted that.

Between everything going oob being action and nothing on top being stalling, the product has really become hard to watch sometimes.

Keeps it too close. I don’t have a ton of faith in Mannings guys at Nattys. Seems like historically they have underachieved. Robb just has the look of someone who will go down in the quarters.

Nebraska has a really good chance at 5 finalists

Man...Hart sticks Mosha.... he looked good.

Penalize Amine there. If that’s not fleeing, Idk what is.

Hamiti is so fun to watch

The point plus not being ridden like a rented mule for two minutes might’ve changed that match quite a bit. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Pulled hardy into a good position more than once

He earned that SV takedown with that 3rd period ride.

Could have said it better myself.

...I never said it was bad strategy, I said it was brutally boring to watch. WTF are you even doing right now?

You must be fun to watch any sport with. "Just sit there quietly and don't comment on anything. Only high level athletes can comment on anything that's happening!"

Not speaking with a tremendous amount of certainty but I believe all weights where there are more than 8 spots available there is a "9th place" tournament which is reseeded among the 6 guys that are not in the top 8. This should happen for Burwick, Morton and Emerson. It is not a part of the team scoring. I also believe the typically have one of these when only 8 spots are allocated as well. I think that one potential criteria for getting a wild card is finishing one place below the automatic allocation. Wilson could be involved in such a scenario if he loses in this next session.

Props to Brayton Lee - even stepping onto that mat in that state

LOL on the broadcast they appear to be showing just happened replays and announcing over them. So with 20+ seconds left in the Romero match as they called the taped action on the screen you could hear the PA guy congratulating Romero on the final score. Whoops.

definition of no no no no YES

This ended up being fake news. Gallagher had nothing for him. It was impressive, really. 8-0 Major for Siebrecht w/ well over two minutes of riding time. An obvious huge skill disparity.

I'm just going to say it, hot take, it's nice to see Iowa guys comfortable scrambling.

Just a note to say that with Byrd's pin, that has to put the ILLINI in first place. Or close. Also, Patrick McKee's haircut is so awful he must have instructed his hairdresser to analyze each follicle to determine the exact length it needed to be to be the most unpleasant. Since that could take a year or more to do, I suspect a computer program, perhaps AI-assisted, must have been employed. When you eliminate the impossible, what is left, no matter how improbable, must be the solution. GO ILLINI!!!

Got over 1 minute of RT before Bergeland got the escape. 4-3 after the 2nd. Hamdan should choose neutral to start the 3rd. He doesn't. Low match IQ. RT was 1:01.

Heilmanm, Rutgers, and Lamont, Wisconsin, both look like they forgot that this is B1Gs. Neither seem to want to actually wrestle their 133lb contest...

Brown, Maryland, looking real good against Steen, Penn State at 125. 11-0 midway through the 3rd.

I was hoping it was a Wisconsin Badger, but the suspect was caught on camera.

I think they will cancel the tournament and then cancel NCAAs because there is no time to reschedule everything. Give everyone in the top 30 AA status and give next year's freshmen an extra year of eligibility. But in all seriousness, aren't there warmer places in Big 10 country to host the tournament?

Even if they get (keep) the power on, will referees, medical personnel, broadcasters, etc. be able to get to the arena (as well as wrestlers in nearby hotels?).
