O'Toole was pinned in OT?

How is it tied 3-3?

What's occurring ... besides a lack of scoring right now?

Can someone please do some "play by play" for the Carr vs. O'Toole match for those of us who can't see the match. Thanks. Extra karma points if you do ... They are equivalent to 2 riding points (on your lover) plus a locked hands call (on your child if necessary) and one get-out-of-jail free card (for a speeding ticket or DUI)

God (whoever or whatever that imaginary being or being-ness is) no longer believes in Iowa

But it was useless. Nagao wasn't going to turn RBY. So it wasn't going to win the match. But maybe it massaged his ego a bit.

True freshman Haines over #1 undefeated Robb.

He probably wouldn't have to. He would be taking a gassed Spencer down too many times and riding him. He would also choose neutral.

Deakin once rode out Nolf, who scored 8 takedowns on him in that same match while Deakin gave up two stalling points on top and one locked hands. But Deakin can tell his grandkids that he rode out a 3-time NCAA champ who would have won at least 1 Hodge if it weren't for his teammate. Whoops: I didn't see that someone seems to have mentioned this already.

Nagao threw legs in and did nothing. That beautiful (barely scored) riding time point, though, prevented him from being taken down a few more times so that RBY could work toward a major.

Haines arguably deserved the OW. A true freshman beating an undefeated #1 upper classman.

At NCAAs, if either Dean or Kerk fall behind in the final period, the plan is that they will "tag" Bo Nickal, who will easily submit their opponent

9 "medical" forfeits in the medal rounds (3/4, 5/6, 7/8) at Big Tens. And one DFF (default?). That is one third of all the matches (apart from the finals)

Wow. Levi Haines. Knocks off undefeated #1. What will his seed be at NCAAs?

What's the over-under on Lewan's match going to SV?

Nelson Brands finished a close second for the award

Will Lewan has had three SV wins. One 4-2 loss and one 4-2 win. He wins the "Slow Drying Paint" Award this year. He is the Jason Tsirtsis of Michigan ... except without a NCAA title

Please no more Gary Steen EVER in a Penn State uniform. I know he is undersized. I know he is a backup. But he always finds a way to lose winnable matches. It's so predictable. Give up bad takedowns. Get an escape. Give up another takedown. Finally shoot and get in deep with a few seconds left in a period but be unable to finish. Scramble but nothing comes off it. In winnable matches, come close, but no cigar. For a multi-time placer in PA state championships, he just doesn't seem to have it at the college level. Hopefully, Robbie Howard will be back next year and healthy.

Bo Nickal vs. Jamie Pickett Round 1 – Nickal goes for a head kick and slips, Pickett rushes in and Nickal clinches him. Nickal now presses him against the cage. Nickal gets a front headlock and spins around and gets the back. Nickal threatening with a rear-naked choke. He transitions to an arm-triangle choke. It looks tight! Three minutes left. Nickal keeps squeezing. Props to Pickett, he’s lasting a good while. And there’s the tap! It’s over!
