Any idea what is going on with the broadcast? Looks like they are showing a taped Big Ten wrestling special.

[crossface21]

I can't get it on anything, computer or tv app of btn+

[Armdrag]

What's going on with the Purdue broadcast??

[vsmf2010]

Just saw on the crawl they are having technical difficulties

[crossface21]

I'd say so. It's not even showing up as something to watch now.

[Manty77]

Now on. Showing 133. Wisconsin is winning three to nothing in the dual, so Barnett must've won.

[TomM]

"... staggers the imagination..."
No sound with broadcast. Sheesh....
Not that I need to be told what is going on, BUT it does add something (sometimes).
UW  is wrestling an engineering school and the sound only comes through with the commercials.
Oh well.

This has been discuss previously (I think it has): are these Big Ten Network broadcasts available to stream? I kind of doubt it but just asking.
I realize the streamed ones on BTN+ are there to watch again.

Good win for Zargo! Badgers 6-3

Gomez with a win 14-5; Badgers up 10-3

[dad 2 5]

It would be good to see Model hang in with Coleman and even better if he could get another upset in against a high ranked guy

[Harris]

Wailer looked awesome!

[walden_hiker]

How is Amos unable to get a takedown?

[DocWrestling]

We are a good ways into season and seems that we know who we are now.

Hamiti looks like a future star and 4 time all-american.  Looks like he barely breaks a sweat.

McNally looks lost and disinterested.  A lot of bad matches but today may have been worst yet.  Didn't do a dang thing and did not look like he even tried. 

Weiler showed something today.  Hopefully that is a new trend because I had pretty much given up.

Amos-  Not sure what he will become.  Just does not look like a guy that is adjusting to college wrestling and underwhelming so far in success and technique.  Has a long ways to go to become an all-american
