Not sure MVB can beat Thorn

Doesn’t have to ..Thorn forfeited ...that should help. His big dance hopes should he win in final of this bracket

 

[rugrapfan1]

So Van Brill got the medical forfeit over Thorn and takes 9th. I guess this puts him in the game for a wildcard?

MVB Not in yet as ABRO pointed out taking one place lower then the allocations is a criteria used for at large. 141 has 8 qualifiers he took 9th.

I don’t think he has ninth yet ..he has to beat winner on top of the bracket

 

[koleszar]

Looks like Gravina has to wrestle here as well as he's on deck on mat 3. Or are we going to forfeit since he's probably already in?

Yes those are for allocations to the conference. What I meant is an at large bid is he now able to be considered to get one? Pretty much I'm completely confused on why they are wrestling for places past the allocation amounts.

I believe he wrestles Cole Weaver for 9th. Weaver just beat McKenna from Northwestern

 

[rugrapfan1]

Probably not, I would imagine the preference for WC goes to the returning AA. I think we are looking at 6 qualifiers =/

Returning AA not criteria.

 

[elvis7]

The brackets actually shows him at the top bracket so not sure why they switched it so he faces Thorn ....kinda confused about that

thanks

OK BTN2go had him listed as taking 9th that's where I got it from. Got it now these are the semi finals for 9th/10th.

 

[rugrapfan1]

They just said there will be a match for 9/10 place. MVB seems to have another match.

From RU wrestling twitter:

141 | Michael Van Brill wins by MF over No. 6 Tommy Thorn. He'll wrestle No. 7 Cole Weaver (Indiana) for ninth!

 

[rugrapfan1]

Nope returning means nothing. Trust me.

 

[huskersalways]

Can one of the brothers use their historical family name to avoid the confusion?!!

So Van Brill got the medical forfeit over Thorn and takes 9th. I guess this puts him in the game for a wildcard?

I think he has 1 more match to determine 9th.

Spencer lee Sebastian Rivera in the hole on mat 1

I do believe. Don’t hold me to this. One of the criteria is did you beat a wrestler this year who qualified last year.

 

[Abro1975]

184 | No. 5 Nick Gravina vs. Max Lyon (Purdue) is on deck on Mat 3.

 

[R U Crazy]

Delvecchio in the hole on mat 2

 

[koleszar]

Yea hashed that one out already. They show on BTN2Go/ Van Brill 9th. That was code for he's wrestling for 9th not that he took 9th.

My computer didn't update showing all the responses otherwise I wouldn't have posted as the 278th person to tell you he had 1 more match. Ha, sorry.

Hey, Nebraska's having a good tournament up to 6th.

 

[koleszar]

He was pinned. Delvecchio had him flat on his back during the scramble.

 

[huskersalways]

Hey, Nebraska's having a good tournament up to 6th.

They may be about peaked. I don't see a lot of wins left without some upsets. Did about as good as could be expected. Not their worst team but far from their best this year.

 

[Abro1975]

Lee just manhandled Rivera.

Lewis on deck mat 1 vs Marinelli

 

[Abro1975]

133 | No. 5 Scott DelVecchio drops a 8-5 decision to No. 3 Mitch McKee (Minnesota) in the consolation semifinal. DelVecchio will wrestle for fifth later today.

 

[R U Crazy]

We complain about not performing to seed,
Iowa had Lee, Kemmerer and Marinelli get upset and dont make it to the finals.
Who would have guessed that?

 

[Abro1975]

Lewis down to Marinelli 3-1 end 2nd, Lewis challenging he might have gotten a take down at the buzzer on the edge.

edit- challenge won , now 3-3

 

[R U Crazy]

OMG LEWIS HUGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

 

[KidDagger]

RL SAVAAAAAAAGEEEEEEEE

 

[koleszar]

Wow Lewis great match.

 

[R U Crazy]

7-5 Savage with win with a leap over td last seconds

 

[Abro1975]

Wow !! Richie Savage Lewis reverses Marinelli at the buzzer, and then teases Bland Brands as he walks off, !!

 

[Racpack]

First time we beat higher seed. Richie Lewis -yes -
An unusual kid. Little Perrotti like. Hope he holds it together through nationals.

 

[RU93]

I love that kid! Awesome win for Lewis! BOOM!

 

[Abro1975]

Lewis and RU penalized a team point for Lewis razzing the Iowa coaches as he walked off. lol
RU still in 11th place , no biggie.

BTN announcers said the crowd loves Lewis.

 

[koleszar]

then teases Bland Brands as he walks off, !!

Yea that cost us a team point. Have no idea what Brands said during the match to provoke that. But knowing Brand's history it was probably something douchey. They have to be saying something during these matches Massa did the same thing after his win. But at this point like you said team points are really inconsequential being in 11th place.

 

[RU93]

Lewis and RU penalized a team point for Lewis razzing the Iowa coaches as he walked off. lol
RU still in 11th place , no biggie.

But I love that part - Lewis razzing Brand! It was worth every point! As good as Ito pointing at the camera after his winning field goal against Louisville in 2006!

 

[KidDagger]

He will... I kept saying he can beat any wrestler besides maybe imar.. but rewatching his match vs imar... he took him down twice and now I think he CAN beat imar too.. basically RL SAVAGE is in the mix for a national title imo

 

[nikoru09]
