#5 Iowa vs #6 Oklahoma St Match thread, probable lineups:

[Abro1975]

4pm on BTN TV, and BTN2go, using Flo rankings :

Iowa wrestlers appearing first:

125 #11 Spencer Lee vs # #6 Nick Piccininni - Very interesting matchup , since Lee is the newcomer with giant reputation for pinning and back points, although Ronnie Bressner and last year Austin DeSanto, beat him. I think at home, Toss up, but IMO Lee .

133- Unranked Paul Glynn vs #4 Kaid Brock - would think Brock by Dec or MD.

141- Unranked Carter Happel vs #4 Dean Heil- would think Heil by MD or TF

149- -#2 Brandon Sorensen vs #13 Boo Lewallen- think Sorensen by MD

157- #2 Michael Kemerer vs unranked Jonce Blaylock- Kemerer by Tech Fall

165- #11 Alex Marinelli vs #7 Chandler Rogers- At Iowa IMO this is a toss up.

174- Unranked Guther vs #12 Jacobe Smith- IMO Dec for Ok St

184- Unranked Bowman vs #19 Keegan Moore- IMO Moore by Dec. Pat Downey not eigible yet

197- #5 Cash Wilcke vs #4 Preston Weigel- Toss up, slight edge to the home wrestler Wilcke

285- #3 Sam Stoll vs # 11 Derek White- Stoll by Dec


Prediction Iowa 18 Ok St 17

Should be a hell of a match.

Thank you...Would have missed this...Can't wait

On BTN on TV.

 

[Abro1975]

Heck of an opening match between Lee and Picc. Lee comes out quick gets a TD and back points, Picc comes back a bit in 3rd, but Lee holds on 10-5

 

[R U Crazy]

Was it just me, or was Lee favoring his knee at end of 2nd period.

I didn't notice the favoring the knee, thought Lee was gassed in the 3rd however, Picc nearly turned him w a cradle.

Brock with a major, OK St up 4-3

 

[Abro1975]

149 Sorensen TF over the ranked Ok St kid. 8-7 Iowa up now

 

[Abro1975]

157 Kemerer of Iowa wins a dec, OK St Coach Smith penalized a point, that could be the diff in such a close meet, BIG TV announcers said they were suprised as they didn't hear Smith say anything.

11- 7 Iowa

 

[Abro1975]

165 Iowas Marinelli wins 5-2 over AA Rogers. Lewis' loss to Marinelli might not be so surprising, Marinelli looking like an AA candidate.

Iowa up 14-7

 

[Abro1975]

174 Ok St Smith wins a close one 3-1

Iowa up 14-9

 

[Abro1975]

184 Iowa Bowman w a small upsett

Iowa up 17-9. Probably over, but we shall see.

 

[R U Crazy]

20-12 Iowa.
They looked good.
Addition of Pat Downey might push them to the podium

 

[KidDagger]

165 Iowas Marinelli wins 5-2 over AA Rogers. Lewis' loss to Marinelli might not be so surprising, Marinelli looking like an AA candidate.

Iowa up 14-7

I been telling anyone that would listen that the bull is the real deal and when ppl were panicking Lewis lost to him

I never saw it as a bad loss, but felt some of the deep shots he couldn't finish would have been takedowns at 157.

Lewis is starting to wrestle well now and his confidence is growing again. He's not a top 4 in this weight class but has a better than punchers chance to get on the podium right now.

 

[wngarbarini]

What was score of the 285 match? My tape ran out with 35 seconds left and tied 3-3

 

[IsItLuck]

Stoll, SV-2 win, 6-4

 

[rufeelinit]

It did not wind up making a difference but not sure I still understand why the OSU coach was penalized a point. Was it something he said after being warned it was it because he ventured out of the coaches zone and onto the mat after a warning?
