WI vs Minny RESULTS

[Micah]

I know it's a down year for MN but they are a good program.  The dual was close and a few guys tend to be trending in the right direction (125, 149, 184).  Not sure what is up with RR, guessing weight issues as this was the second weigh-in of the weekend.

Would have been nice to get this one.

Is Lizak for MN RS?  Or has he been beat out?

love the way Crone is wrestling

Lizak has already wrestled this year.  There is some talk of him redshirting next season.  Polakowski would have wrestled 125 but he is dinged up.

Thanks thought I saw him in the scuffle and I know they let RS in so was not sure.

Lizak is red shirting this year.

Short was coming off of a huge victory against Jason Tsirtsis a few days ago.  Great win for Crone this afternoon, congrats to him!  Brad Dolezal (3X State Champ from Marshfield, WI) was wrestling at 165, not Urbach. Brad didn't give up 6 points to the #2/3 ranked Jordan, which help Minnesota in the end. Good hard fought dual.

Crone is on a mission.

I know the coaches are down for not earning the victory in this one, but the Badgers look like a completely different team in the last two matches - fighting till the end, looking to score and figuring out ways to win (e.g. Andrew Crone!). In a season like this one, these matches tell a lot about the team. JJ has looked like a totally different wrestler these past two matches, Andrew Crone has pushed the pace to victory in three straight matches, RT is coming into form, Ryan Christensen continues to battle and came out on top this time for his efforts and Zeke is that ever so important anchor for the team (quietly dominant). These are the positives I take away from this tough loss.

I would also add that JJ deserved an escape plus a take down early on in his match, but was awarded only the takedown. I bring this up because 1) we were screaming it from the stands and 2) it would have earned him the major. The ref obviously saw it differently:). That being said, we would have lost on criteria given Pfarr's tech fall. It was an exciting match and we should be talking about this team in a different light now.

You beat me to it. Short just beat a national champ. Now Crone knocks him off. Maybe Crone can continue this roll into Big Tens and NCAAs.

I was convinced the ref had awarded the 1 then the 2 but apparently I was incorrect as no one agreed.

what has happened to Tsirtsis, dude was a champ and now struggles to beat anyone in the top 5.

Lives and dies by winning 1 pt matches in OT.  Eventually it catches up to you.

Why did Peissig not wrestle? I realize school comes first, but it would have been nice to have him out there.
I do not think he gives up the tech fall.

Is this once again a failed attempt at humor?  Wow.
