Wrestling 2025 NCAA Tourney thread

[MS-RU]

Too bad Smith and Turley got upset. Dang.

Turley didn't get upset, he lost to the 4 seed as the 29 seed.

 

[wngarbarini]

Based on draws it could be 0-7 next round.

 

[MitchLL]

Wow finally a positive post. Brands should be fired as Cruz got smoked as did Teemer

If you had a choice, would you take Goodale over Brands?

 

[KidDagger]

Based on draws it could be 0-7 next round.

Wng ur so pessimistic lol. But nah Orine is 26 seed, and Titus is a 31st seed. Based on seeds, we are favored in 2 matches next round.

Turley has a winnable match against Braunagel who seems to come back down to earth from b10 and Peterson got a winnable match but got shafted. Figs should really be a 3+ seed .

Winning 3 matches is doable 4 would be a perfect sweep.. if we went 0-7 next round even SCNJ might put the poms poms away lol..

Based on draws it could be 0-7 next round.

maybe we'll get lucky and get one or 2

Next Match Ups:

125: Dean Peterson (1-0) vs. Richard Figueroa (Arizona State)
133: Dylan Shawver (0-1) vs. Kai Orine (NC State)
141: Joseph Olivieri (0-1) vs. Jordan Titus (West Virginia)
149: Andrew Clark (1-0) vs. Shayne Van Ness (Penn State)
174: Jackson Turley (0-1) vs. Dan Braunagel (Illinois)
184: Shane Cartagena-Walsh (1-0) vs. Carter Starocci (Penn State)
285: Yaraslau Slavikouski (1-0) vs. Gable Steveson (Minnesota)

This is going to be a very tough round going up 2 #1 seeds who are both multi-time NCs, another PSU wrestler, a 2x AA in Orine, and last years NC in Figueroa.

Turley has already beaten Braunagel this year, but who knows what Turley shows up tonight.

Olivieri should be favored over Titus so that's should be the highest/best chance for a win.

maybe everyone will be 1-1 after the evening session.

Is there any way to watch these matches?

 

[koleszar]

Is there any way to watch these matches?

ESPN+ has all the mats.

Is there any way to watch these matches?

it's on ESPN plus. The Semis and Finals will be on ESPN (I believe)

 

[MS-RU]

 

[LETSGORU91]

ESPNU had coverage for the first round. I didn't tune in as I have ESPN+. Next round looks like ESPN has coverage 7-10:30p. I don't know if they will run a multi-mat view or bounce around the different matches.

Yara-Slav should save his shoulder for wrestlebacks. I think most people here would agree that Peterson is capable of beating anyone. I won't be surprised whether he wins or loses. He needs to score and stay out of SV. He could win it all or fizzle out - up to him.

 

[MS-RU]

This should be awesome:

 

[Leonard23]

ESPN+ has all the mats.

But without the time and maybe the scores 😂

 

[leftoright]

Peterson wins real time on ESPN+

 

[leftoright]

scores and times are back. good commentaries

 

[ScottRU93]

is it round of 16 and just 1 round of wrestlebacks tonight?

Just had to act like it was soccer, when nobody except for one guy in the entire world knows when he'll decide to end the match.

 

[Leonard23]

Championship round of 16 on the inside 4 mats (3,4,5,6) and consolations on the outside 4 mats (1,2,7,8).

 

[MS-RU]

Dean missed his shot and Figs was able to counter. Down 3-1 after 1.

 

[MS-RU]

Dean continues to drive and finishes the TD. We are tied at 4 after 2. Dean on bottom to start the 3rd.

 

[koleszar]

HOLY CRAP.

Dean was pissed there. Haven't seen that pure rage aggression all year. Just muscled his way right into that pin.

 

[Leonard23]

BOOM! 💥 💥 Peterson pins returning national champ Figs!!!

 

[UnderHooks]

Wowwww

 

[MS-RU]

Wow, Dean gets the fall after a great sequence!!

Gee, Pess, you were right.

 

[hoochie302]

That was sweet!!!

 

[njsportsphan]

That will be one of the best NCAA matches in RU history. Amazing!!!!

 

[Leonard23]

 

[MS-RU]

All time post match interview as well lol

 

[wngarbarini]

Well fellas. At least the night was not 0 for 7

 

[LETSGORU91]

Holy F#*&!!!

 

[KidDagger]

MEAN DEAN 😤😤

 

[Leonard23]

Wow, McGowan up 1 with 9 seconds left and gets super ducked for the loss. BUT wait, there's a review...

 

[koleszar]

Have to say just watched it again and that ref did a real good job of keeping Figueroa from illegally trying to bend Dean's finger back. He slapped his hand off like 2 or 3 times.

 

[MS-RU]

Peterson gets another crack at Vincent Robinson in the quarterfinals.

 

[LETSGORU91]

Awful loss for Mcgowan
