Badgers tied for 12th. Can they keep that spot or better it? Hoping Crone can win some matches!
Surprised Minnesota is in 7th, they might drop a little after today.
Johnny will have a tough match against the 7 seed. Loss
Crone should beat Hammond. Win
I think TJ will win against Boro. Win
Jordan will have a close match against Walsh. Win
Christensen has Weatherspoon who is very inconsistent. Loss
Ritter has Geer of Boro. Win
Ricky has Cervantes. Win
Medbery has Tanner Hall who is a solid HWT. Win
6-2 are my predictions but feel like I am a little optimistic. probably more like 5 wins.
I hope they turn the heat up in there today, both literally and figuratively. Had to wear my winter coat in the arena yesterday.
I think 12th place is a great place to be after the slow start yesterday. With our high end power I still think 10th place is possible. Good thing the knight/purgolder isn't here anymore or he'd be knighting me for showing optimism :)!!!
Those 2 pins late by Ritter and Robertson really leaped us up on team scores.
Go Ricky!!!!
Seein' some grit out there. It's a looong tourney, though. Hope los tejones keep up the good work.
Jimenez wrestled well. Rode the heck out of that dude.
I think I have Johnny figured out. Johnny is not a morning person ;D He wrestles better in the afternoon!
All kidding aside, tough match.
First takedown Johny was in no danger, but then managed to give up his leg and the takedown. I'm not sure what that was all about. His single leg defense needs some work.
Wow what an awesome tilt by crone!!!!!!!

So first you bet against the guy and then complain about it ??? ??? ??? ???
Hunter loses, Medberry wins
Robertson pinned in overtime?
painful to watch RR loss that way

Robertson pinned in overtime?
Looked like a neutral fall in SV
Snyder may have apparently hurt his ribs in the last match. If Medberry didn't have a chance before, he might now.
Robertson got to legs. Couldn't finish. Got pinned trying to drape over the top on a low single.
They called the pin while he was rolling don't really like that call.
Wisconsin is currently in 9th.
Then there were 4.
LOVE Crone attacking for that last takedown!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love the way everyone is wrestling right now. Crone, Jordan, Connor all on the attack.
Don't know enough about Theobold; can Crone beat him? ?
Would LOVE to see AC beome and All American!! He deserves it!
Crone fell behind early, and then he made a comeback !

Long, athletic, solid on his feet similar to Crone. Going to be a great match to achieve a dream.

Agreed. I thought it should've been called earlier. Ref gave him an opportunity to move out of the position but Ricky just couldn't do it quick enough.

I saw Banister wrestle Theobold in Maryland. Banister won in a tight match. No doubt Crone can win if he keeps wrestling like he has been. Theobold doesn't do anything special, just big and solid.
Is Crone's round of 12 match tomorrow morning?
Tonight! Only All Americans wrestle tomorrow.

Agreed. And I think they left a couple points out there today. Definitely had some matches in consolations that got away. Still a good performance thus far given only a few guys were seeded.

Ty Walz has really rolled this tournament. Medberry had tough match with Hall. Semis tonight should be interesting. Kasper looked good beating Nevills.

Didn't Kasper say something about wanting to see what Snyder is all about, or punching him in the mouth? ;D
Really earning any team points at this point
If Crone wins he gets match points for a win and placement points. If Jordan and Medbery win we get more placement points.

It was a pin. We looked at each other and said he was stuck and then it was called. Hammen is right, the ref gave him an opportunity to roll thru it but even if he tried, I think he would have lost position and given up the points for a TD so he was pretty much screwed either way.
Has anybody seen the Flowrestling interviews with 157 lb'r Dylan Polacio? He's on a vision quest, and if he ends up winning the whole thing, including beating Nolf, they need to make a movie about him.
Watched the Snyder match on replay...he is definitely hurting, possibly a rib on the left side. Wouldn't wish an injury on anybody, hope CM can be in the finals and earn the win.
Jeespers, every win is earned at this point isn't it?
Yeah, but if he doesn't beat Snyder there will always be that phrase "he only won because"
Wow. Crappy way to lose. Can't get down 6 0. Still heck of a run by Crone
Time for the match Jordan has been thinking about for a year.
Don't care who's riding you, have to be able to get out. Difference between a shot at the title, and no.
IMar is impressive over Zeke. Thought Zeke might get that last shot in but IMar strength is too much. Get that last win tomorrow Zeke!
Davis blew the momentum of Jordan with the challenge call...............

Momentum?
Jordan signaled to the chair to challenge. At least that's what it looked like to me.
Jordan is dinged for stalling but Imar can ride, lift and return for 1:30 and no stalling

Believe Imar dropped to a leg and basically pushed Zeke out of bounds before a 5 count, thought that should have been the first Imar stalling warning.
Zeke underestimated Imar's ride. Hindsight he should have built a little ride time instead of giving the free point to start the second period.

What the heck are you talking about?
Easier said than done, IMAR is a beast. Good effort by Jordan. You gave yourself a chance in the 3rd against arguably one of the top 3 college wrestlers at any weight. No shame in coming up just short.
Hope Jordan gets into that third place match and meets and beats Massa.
Good job by Connor Medbery against Ty Walz. Kept great position. Very difficu;lt to beat a great wrestler that many times in a row..
I thought IJ wrestled a smart match. It was closer than I thought it would be.
It is a good year when you can get one finalist, but it would have been sweet to get two.
IMAR seemed to think that Jordan never opened up for the first two periods and the third
period turned into just one long IMAR ride. It will be highly interesting to see if Jordan can come back
and get third now or not. Crone left no doubt that he is the third best wrestler on the team, at least until
the stud Wick brother gets off his redshirt year. Medbery could make this interesting with this rib injury situation.

I don't think Kasper could beat Snyder if he wrestled him 50 times. He has no edge whatsoever. Against the big boys he can crab ride them, wear them out. Funny that Snyder outweighs Kasper by 7 pounds.
Medbery will have a hard time beating Snyder tomorrow night. But I was impressed by how he handled Ty Walz.
I so much wanted Crone to win. I think Theobold is just better than anybody thought. Some guys show up in March. None of Theobold's wins in the tourney were flukey.
Zeke has wrestled well every match. Beating Massa would be a good career capper.

And that phrase would fade and being the champ would not.

Zain is just a beast.
Great win by Jordan over Lewis, who is very good. Great move in the first to get the big lead.
IMO he is wrestling right now as well as he was at the end of last year. Hope he can end his career with a win against Massa, who is also extremely good.
Massa is simply better.
Thank you Issac Jordan. You've had a great career. Thanks for coming to Wisconsin.
