Let's Go!
Barnett will be the first one up in match 15 on mat 6 versus undefeated Jaret Lane (8-0) from Lehigh. I predict these 2 will put up some fireworks.
Here is a link to the data for updated team scoring.

The Badgers are tied for first place at this point ;)
Thank you for the mat assignment Harris.
Lane tried the big throw. Nice counter by Barnett!
You bet Eric!
Eric Barnett!!
Hating that I have to work today. Next year, I'm going. It's been too long.
Gonna have to plunk my behind down in a bar and watch wrestling tonight. Oh well... ;D
Bono looks like he is going to class at UW with that backpack on and the sweats :)
Schwartz is tough.
So far so good! Barnett and Burwick with wins!
Burwick with the Fall!
Yes
WOW! :o
Burwick was a stud on top. Totally wore him down and dominated.
Great to see from Burwick and Barnett. It appears they are starting to really turn the corner. Hopefully they can continue to build on that.
Burwick has come a long way since the beginning of the season! Dude has a motor and a gas tank!!

Whoever questioned whether there was coaching going on clearly hasn't watched these two develop. Could have put Gross on the screen and I would have assumed that was Seth putting the kid on his back.
What is impressive about the Burwick win is how he won. He gives up a couple takedowns early, does not let that faze him and takes complete control of the match

Thanks! I assume those are Eastern times so we have about an hour break.
Here we go!
Weiler has a tough first match against Key from Navy. Weiler can win this one but should be a close match. Let's see if Hillger can get going against Hiendselman from Oklahoma. Thor should win this. Let's hope the 2 weeks off since Big Tens has helped him.
Gotta win that position. Down 0-2
Nice reversal and cradle
Up 4-2, starting down.
Nice switch up 6-2
That was a crazy scramble. In review right now. Key put Weiler on his back.
Key pins Weiler. That hurts. He was up 8-4 and got out of position going for takedown.
I have only seen Weiler in his B10 championships & today - but I don't see why everyone hopes he's back next year. As a whole - his is some of the least inspiring wrestling I've seen. We've gotta be able to do better than that at 184.
2 big upsets this round. 7th seed Elam from Mizzou lost at 197 and the 2 seed Schultz from Nebraska got pinned by the 31 seed from NDSU.
Hillger has forced 3 stall calls in the first period...
Stencel almost got pinned and is down. If Hillger wins he gets the winner of that match.
Trent Hillger wins 5-1
Excellent win.
Hillger can beat Stencel.
Very good first round. Could have been perfect but it was Dang close to that.

Barnett has Brandon Courtney from ASU next match. Courtney is undefeated this season and wrestles at a very high pace. Here is a match he lost to a Lehigh wrestler last season. It looks like Courtney likes the underhook/whizzer and I think Barnett will do well with this position. Courtney looks very quick off the bottom.

The wrestlestat comparison for these 2 is interesting. Also Courtney is 1-3 in his 4 matches against Big Ten opponents last season. 9-5 win over Heinselman, 6-3 loss to DeAugustino and 2 losses to Schroder (pin and major).
For the upcoming round Burwick has the toughest match obviously with RBY. Hillger has a tough but winnable match against #3 Stencel. Hillger looked good round 1. He was aggressive and seemed to be moving well even though he didn't score a lot of points. Weiler will have a tough match against Colbray from Iowa State. I predicted Barnett would beat Courtney when the brackets came out and I am sticking to it. Barnett is battle tested and think he pulls it off.
Let's get ready to rumble! Let's go Badgers!
That kid is quick. Barnett needed a takedown.
Quote from: Napoleon Dynamite on March 18, 2021, 05:26:41 PM
Lost 10-7. 5 takedowns to 5 escapes and 2 penalty points for stalling.
9-7 ... Just sayin'
Burwick loses 11-3 to RBY.
Kind of expected. Both have 1 match which is winnable and the next one will be very difficult, but you never know.
Buchanan (WYO) wins by fall.
Quote from: Napoleon Dynamite on March 18, 2021, 09:05:22 PM
Weiler loses 12-4. His rental contract is now expired. Hahaha.
After a promising season Big Tens and NCAAs were....not good to say the least...
That was awesome. I love it!
Quote from: Napoleon Dynamite on March 18, 2021, 09:45:28 PM
Hillger get reversal right at end and wins 2-1!!!
Crazy that ESPN does not show riding time. He looked gassed after not being able to get out but kept going and got the reversal!
Huge win for Hillger!!! Beat Gremmel and he is in the semis. Gremmel isn't flashy at all. He likes to push on his feet but think Trent is a better overall wrestler!

They have mentioned it several times that they are having technical difficulties with the riding time.
Big win for Trent, still have three wrestlers alive going into day two.
I think I pulled a muscle screaming and jumping up when he got that reversal ;)

Not that is where we want to be by any means, but with the way the season has gone having 3 alive for day 2 is pretty decent. Barnett and Burwick both have a winnable first match tomorrow and then see who they match up with after that.

Anyone else hear Randy Ferrell's voice announcing Hillgers win in their head? Just me?
That was fun to watch. He looked like he was never gonna get out. Kinda paused at that one point when down. Thought he was mentally gassed.
He got that reversal with what, 33 seconds left? Meaning he just erased riding time.

I think Thor had 30 seconds RT in period 2.
So Thor needed to get out by the 30 second mark to avoid losing 2-1 on RT. What a reversal and ride out!!

Yeah, what's with the riding time? Can make a big difference in a lot of matches. Love watching the riding clock.
Great match, but I was sitting there thinking OT after the reversal and probably a loss, with riding time. I couldn't understand coaches jumping up and down, then...I realized he had erased riding time. Great win, but I know I would have enjoyed it more right away had riding time been on the screen! HA!
Still, so thankful that we got to watch it. Hope they get riding time clocks fixed on the screen today!
I was amazed at Hilger's ability to ride him out. That was good stuff.

A complete mess that wasn't dealt with correctly. The video has the exact number of seconds (and fractions of) right on it (I've been the video guy at Ncaa d3's a few times) when the clock doesn't start or stop, the video is used to get the correct time.
My opinion is that the officials screwed that up the first time, then the 2nd 7 seconds was wrestled, and it negated any correction that should have occured. The Campbell kid got screwed and it won't be reversed.

Horribly officiated match. I believe Lewallen had a takedown before the 7 seconds. The refs reviewed but said no. He had Heil in danger for 4-5 seconds and they didn't count at all. But then you are right Heil got screwed by having to wrestle 2 7 second goes instead of 1.
Mekhi Lewis from Virginia Tech and Kendall Coleman from Purdue are out for medical.
Nice win by Barnett
was very tough on top!!! and first takedown was nice!!!
Tough loss by Burwick. So close but gave up a reversal at the end.
Ragusin lost so Barnett wrestles #21 seed Trevor Mastrogiovanni, OKST, 15-5 and after he beats him he will have Schroder from Purdue.
Pretty good draw at this point considering he lost to Schroder 9-8 last year and pinned him this year.
Well done Eric Barnett. Win and advance.
huge win for Barnett
Should have been a pin in the first....

Parker Keckeisen is an All-American!!!!!!!
Congratulations to Gus his HS coach, Ott, Cody, Coach Jim, Doc, and anyone involved in the Nicolet program. You won't get the credit you deserve, but it's you. All day.
HS coaches put in the work, six days a week. Props always go to their clubs, but F that. It's you.
Why Hilger didn't try to stand up in OT is beyond me. He made it too easy for Gremmel. He had his chances.
Tough loss for Hillger but he is wrestling great in this tournament and he needs to finish strong for AA.
Congrats to Parker. That is really cool.
So, here we are at the "blood round" with two dogs still in the hunt. Barnett needs to replicate his magic with Schroeder and Hillger needs to beat the winner of the #8 and #17 seed match. If the UW came away with two AA this year, even if they end up being low AA, I would consider it a moral victory - although there are those among us who deny the value of "moral" victories. At times like these, I am reminded of an expression my college coach (Byron James of UW-RF note) would employ as appropriate, "In a storm, any port is welcome." Of course, he would tell us this when we all knew we were going out against an obviously superior opponent and the out come was not expected be good. He left it to his wrestlers to figure out it meaning in the next seven minutes on the mat.
That said, it is gonna be tough for Barnett; Schroeder is no slouch (if Barnett does AA, he will have earned it).
Weiler's performance has to be a big disappointment - it should have ended better for him.

There are those who have been "slouchier" relative to others. And yes, in case you are wondering, I made that word up right here on the spot. Personally, I would prefer Thor's draw than Barnett's at this point.

It would be someone that won round one and then in round 2 won by injury default or DQ.
Badgers need a win tonight! I believe only once (2004) since 1973 has the program not had an All American. Here's hoping and channeling all of my positive energy for a pair of 3rd places.
* not counting last year with no tourney.
Great Job Eric!
Great match EB. Rode very hard. Sweet.
YEA!!!! Awesome match!
Eric Barnett is an All-American! That was so awesome.
Congrats Eric Barnett! You are a beast and getting better every match! Turning the tides on everyone who beat you earlier this year! Wow!!! You can beat the rest of them now!
AA for EB. Loved the excitement by him and his coaches. Keeper movin.
Nice!!
Talk about a guy who has improved a ton this year! Good for him!
Way to go Thor! Tough win!

Congrats to the lads! Two All-Americans for this particular season a nice way to build momentum for next season and set a standard for performance for the program.
Did you guys know that Mason Parris is really good you know. It was his plan to win you know. Tomorrow he is out for blood in the finals you know. He knew it was going to happen you know.
That was the most awkward post match interview ever. Lol.
Thor is back!
Also the guy sitting next to Brandvold with the ZZ Top beard and tiny mask looks hilarious.
Great work by Bucky with two all Americans.
I have to admit I thought Hilliger was all wrestled-out and plateaued but he has worked very hard and wrestled well to earn All-America status and you gotta salute that!
Two All-Americans and a Top 25 finish, for this season, that will work out. Quite a night for UW athletics!
2 AA this year is great. I don't know what was going on with Thor during the season, but I'm glad he's figured out how to fix it at the right time! Barnett's progress is exactly what we've all been clamoring for. Great stuff to build on for next year.

Great showing for Barnett and Hillger. Burwick also wrestled well. They all seemed to peak at the right time. For those getting on Bono for his traing style and having his guys peak early, that couldn't have been more wrong based on what we saw this weekend.
Add Amos, Wick, Zargo, Hamiti, and Copass and we could be a top 10 team soon.
I was curious how AJ Ferrari would do this weekend at 197 since Amos and him will be at the same weight for many years. He appears to be the real deal.

And Amos beat Ferrari and Kerkvliet looking at some older results
I dont believe Amos ever wrestled Ferrari. Where did you see that?
Next year will be really interesting. How many colleges will allow their seniors to use this extra free year and come back next year? Apparently basically all of Iowas guys are going to use it and be back. If a lot of seniors are allowed to come back and decide to, the talent next year in college could be very good and deep. Add in wrestlers from schools that took the year off like Cornell and it will be interesting how we will fit in, even with a much improved lineup.
One could argue the venting after the Big Tens helped provided motivation to the Badgers.
I think we all want the Badgers to do well. Sometimes tough love works.
Hillger on deck!
Cassioppi beats Hillger 8-0
Rematch vs Gremmel for 5th place...
I am very happy for Trent. However, his neutral position offense has regressed this year and even in this tournament. Still hope he takes 5th. I think he is explosive enough seeing him move from the bottom.
Barnett is up!!
Cardinale defeats Barnett 12-7
Fell behind 6-0 early. Overall, great tournament run by Eric!

Agreed disappointing last match. Seemed like Eric went out there to get a pin and just let it fly. He put himself on his back with that first move. To watch Eric's progress from not even qualifying this year to being an AA shows where the Badgers are progressing. Looking forward to seeing what he can do next season! I think he has a great skill set just needs to sure up some of his defense. He gives up a lot of easy takedowns ,but is an extremely dangerous wrestler.

Thanks for sharing that video. I will admit that I have had my doubts about how good Amos would have been this year, even with the guys he has beaten. But after watching that video and watching Ferrari wrestle last night I have no doubt in my mind now that Amos could've pushed for a national title this year. In all likelihood Amos is going to be like a Kemp or a Howe. I just hope that he does come to the badgers and doesn't decide just to wrestle internationally and skip college. Amos is going to be a very special wrestler.

Seth Gross's coaching of Eric and Kyle has been phenomenal!! Both made tremendous strides, both peaked when they needed to, and both are only going to get better!!
Seeing how excited Seth was after Eric's AA match against Schroeder was awesome and shows how much he cares! Fun to see!!

Cardinale defeats Barnett 12-7
Fell behind 6-0 early. Overall, great tournament run by Eric!
Agreed disappointing last match. Seemed like Eric went out there to get a pin and just let it fly. He put himself on his back with that first move. To watch Eric's progress from not even qualifying this year to being an AA shows where the Badgers are progressing. Looking forward to seeing what he can do next season! I think he has a great skill set just needs to sure up some of his defense. He gives up a lot of easy takedowns ,but is an extremely dangerous wrestler.
Who does that sound like?? ;D ;D
Seth Gross's coaching of Eric and Kyle has been phenomenal!! Both made tremendous strides, both peaked when they needed to, and both are only going to get better!!
Seeing how excited Seth was after Eric's AA match against Schroeder was awesome and shows how much he cares! Fun to see!!
Totally agree

I dont believe Amos ever wrestled Ferrari. Where did you see that?
Next year will be really interesting. How many colleges will allow their seniors to use this extra free year and come back next year? Apparently basically all of Iowas guys are going to use it and be back. If a lot of seniors are allowed to come back and decide to, the talent next year in college could be very good and deep. Add in wrestlers from schools that took the year off like Cornell and it will be interesting how we will fit in, even with a much improved lineup.

Thanks for sharing that video. I will admit that I have had my doubts about how good Amos would have been this year, even with the guys he has beaten. But after watching that video and watching Ferrari wrestle last night I have no doubt in my mind now that Amos could've pushed for a national title this year. In all likelihood Amos is going to be like a Kemp or a Howe. I just hope that he does come to the badgers and doesn't decide just to wrestle internationally and skip college. Amos is going to be a very special wrestler.
If you watch the video on Rokfin that Bono posted with Amos and Zargo in the hot tub after practice they are all in and ready to go for the Badgers next year. I agree he could have an impact like Kemp or Howe. To make a football analogy, Hamiti, Copass, Amos, and Zargo could be transformational like the Packers when Reggie White and Brett Favre put Green Bay on the map.
Happy for Trent and EB and having a good tournament. Going in I did not see them getting this far and it was good to see. My guess is CW is banged up more then we know. Burwick shows signs of improvement and potential.
Congratulations to Eric Barnett and Trent Hillger on brewing All-Americans. What a tremendous accomplishment. Both seemed to put it together at the right time.
Barnett has completely blown my expectations out of the water. I was flat out wrong about him.
184- Has there ever been a weight class weaker in the Big Ten than 184 was this year? Only one All-American from the Big Ten

2 All Americans. Brooks and Poznanski. 3 wrestlers lost in the round of 12. 149 and 165 also only had 2 All Americans. Looking at the names from those three weight classes, 149 and 165 are weaker than 184 this year.
Well Ferrari just said he is going heavyweight. Amos might not have to wrestle him. But that would be another tough one for Hillger to deal with.

I believe that is Noah Adams from West Virginia (in the video) from the Cowboy Challenge back in February not Braxton Amos.
Yes that is Adams of West Virginia not Amos.
I was about to say, Amos would have surely won by more tham that! :)

I dont think that was Amos. Amos didn't wrestle at the cowboy open for another team.
I think for the Badgers to go from where they finished this year and in two years earn a trophy is a pretty big step. I hope Wisconsin jumps to the top 7 in the big ten in the next couple years. Wisconsin is making some moves on the recruiting scene for sure. A couple of more years of big recruits Wisconsin is in business. Let's get the wrestlers in the room and build them into hammers!

I am pretty sure the wrestler in that video is Noah Adams. To beat Ferrari, someone is going to have put him into a scramble and work him into positions he is not comfortable in. Possibly a low single or upper body ties like a bodylock, underhooks, and over/under. He is strong and athletic, I have a hard time seeing anyone ride him out and score on him from a double or single.
Google and youtube have it labeled wrong.
I believe Amos can and will beat all comers at 197.
