Lubeck goes 2-2 with an OT loss and a 1 point loss... not bad...

Lubeck goes 2-2 with an OT loss and a 1 point loss... not bad...

I've been VERY impressed with Lubeck the past several weeks.  The cat is a scrapper.  Another young'un to look forward to watching the next several years.

Thanks to the Tyler Graff and Company, the Badgers continue to rack up points and are ahead of rival Michigan.

What happened at the end of Medbery's match to where McMullin picked up a point in the waning seconds?

[onwisconsin]

Thought Connor lost 2-3.   Didn't know there was anything at the end.    Very close to getting a TD a couple of times.  Wished Connor would not have left position he was in when McMullan got his TD.     

Good season Connor.   10-15 more pounds of muscle and watch out everyone next year.

According to Track, they were both on their feet and the score was 1-1 with 30 seconds left. Somehow McMullin got another point. Stalling on Medbery? Somehow a point was awarded in that situation and I don't know what happened.

No Nat,

I watched it.    Connor gave up a TD and then he got an escape.    Lost 2-3

Sometimes the track score updates get a little funky.

Ahh, okay - thanks.

And Green destroys Jordan 15-0?? Yikes! How does that happen?

So Graff going for the championship and Jordan going for 7th?

[hammen]

Correct.

Started with a double by Green that was defended well by Zeke but then Green converted on the edge and had a hip tilt Dang near the carpet, so started 5-0 about a minute in. Zeke exposed himself a little more tiring to come back and Green was hip tilting and got in on a double leg and tilt to end it. A 5-0 lead at this 157 class is basically a match-ender if your name isn't Dylan Ness, so Zeke opened up way more than he probably wanted to. He will wrestle for 7th and is an AA as a freshman. Still pretty impressive, being Tyler became only the 4th 4x AA in Badger history. Zeke is on pace to be the 5th.

Totally agree!  I love watching Lubeck.  He will be a serious threat next year after tasting success!  He could have easily been one of the huge surprises in the tourney if he had won that OT match with Sakaguchi.  He's all about the offense.  I love it!

Can Lubeck get down to 41 if Thielke goes 33?

[billymurphy]

My impression of this years NCAA tournament is just how tough Minnesota was in the upper weights.  They had total studs, one after another.
Penn State being even better.  The Badgers finished in 16th place and 8th best in the Big Ten(7th place at the Big Tens-Northwestern moved ahead of us at nationals).
Time to start thinking about next years lineup!  WI will have a good dual meet team but it will depend on Jordan to make the team competitive at nationals
and Medbery will have a good shot at moving up the pecking order at Heavyweight.  Taylor and Lubeck appear to have solid careers ahead of them.  I sure hope Ryan Christensen is ready to
perform early in his career, as he was this years highest rated blue chip recruit.  Robertson should be ready to go next season.
