    Diakomihalis got a caution and one for dropping to his knees in the passivity zone before being pushed out in match one.

    All right, lets play counting games. Higher win percentage-Lee. Higher bonus rate-Lee. More titles-Lee. More NCAA points-Lee. More world teams-Lee.

    Matt Lee is wrestling 165 lbs / 74 kg now. I am guessing he can take Nick. Drop him down.

    In this case it was listed poorly. They used folkstyle scoreboards (no underlining) matside and the jumbotron scoreboard did not show who had criteria. About half way through the first session they made an announcement that they were moving the dots signifying the period back and forth between the red and green (no blue) sides to indicate criteria. Sub-optimal.

    Crazy talk

    Have we heard that before? I have not, but I am not an always listener.

    Lee beat Retherford and Diakomihalis in the consolation bracket at OTT in 2021.

    Better view

    Agreed. I thought it was well done. Smoothly run, great video review look ins, and @Jason Bryant was topnotch explaining challenges and reasons for rulings. My only niggle was the scoreboards. They used folkstyle scoreboards which meant they had to jury rig the criteria signifier. No underlined score. Instead they would switch the period indicator to red or green (no blue) to signify criteria.

    I wouldn't say he had to overcome the fans in the arena. They were definitely behind him.

    They showed three different angles in the arena where it was obvious. The last of the three was the best and the singlet was extended 6 to 8 inches away from Burroughs' leg. But, people have a hard time abandoning their hot take once they commit to it.

    Hopefully they start having the virtuous cycle where RTC results begin to pay off with college recruiting wins. If they can get the Warners, Woods, Gomezes, Cassiopis, etc. to stay home it wound pay big dividends.

    In the arena it was a different experience. @Jason Bryant did an excellent job explaining what was challenged. And the refs gave clear explanations over the PA of the results of a challenge. They also put on the jumbotron what was being reviewed by the refs. For example, there was a different view of the Nick Lee / Yianni Diakomihalis action at the end of match 2 on the jumbotron. When they showed it in the arena there was a loud concensus for two.

    I think you are right. The wrestlingstats brackets have it as Oklahoma State, but I think A&M is correct. Edit: Just checked. It was A&M until 1958.

    I agree that it probably had little impact on the action, but I am perfectly fine with the athlete calling attention to it. He felt it and it was confirmed to very clearly have happened, so it is reasonable to say he felt impeded by it (it impacted the action). And if they had not awarded the point after seeing the very clear pull, that would have been the travesty.

    That singlet didn't grab itself.
  17. Wrestleknownothing
    A lot of you were right about Lee and Marsteller. Let's call Cox an incomplete.
  18. Wrestleknownothing
    Only 2 got it right.
  19. Wrestleknownothing
    Yes, I would be interested in that as long as my cause need not be worthy.
  20. Wrestleknownothing
    Regardless of the topic, that is a valid concern.
  21. Wrestleknownothing
    If you are walking around the concourse and you see someone who makes you think, "no one has a right to be that handsome", come over and say hi.
  22. Wrestleknownothing
    I have been wondering about that bracket and why there was no 8th place. Thanks for clearing that up.
  23. Wrestleknownothing
    In 1929 Oklahoma State's 115 pounder, Dell Shockley, entered a three man bracket, got a first round bye (yep, he got a bye to the final), then lost in the final and the true second match. 0-2 BBQ, but still an All-American. I can find no record of Dell Shockley before or after 1929.

    Do you know if they are copying the high school rule or doing their own version?

    Come on, man, it's the off-season.
