But what would his knee have to do with the flu?:)
It’s about at large bids. They may have seeded bracket to a certain number. So they wrestle to that.
From RU Wrestling twitter:
"The match will go towards NCAA at-large qualification points."
I'm really not sure what that means. Maybe at large points?

Finishing one spot out of an auto-qualifier spot is one of the criteria used for determining bronze standard.
Let’s admit it. Not a good day for the scarlet knights. Not one kid beat a higher seated wrestler and Gravina and DeLuca lost to lower seated kids. WNG has been quite. He is the most pro Rutgers fan and don’t think he can spin that we had a good day. Iowa also has a bad day. At least they had some kids beat higher seeded kids and won some in OT. We need to rebound tomorrow and show up in Cleveland. Otherwise, it will be a long off season.
Just telling it like it is.

Maybe NS had a wedding back in NJ he had to attend. Smells like Mr S calling the shots again.
Agreed.
I would also go to say that the seeding wasn't set up for Rutgers to succeed. Lewis' chance of placing higher than his seed is/was slim. Same goes for Gravina. Sprinkle in Suriano's situation and it's bad all around.
And people questioned me when I said I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't really the flu.
Hope he doesn’t have Brown syndrome (track) and be hurt and not compete at nationals ... would be great to see an RU athlete win a national title ... in anything.
I am not being “quite”. I will give my opinion if you want it. I think we had a bad tourney in that we did not wrestle our best. If you saw Scott’s interview about NS, he said he intended to wrestle him throuout the tourney and would evaluate his “lower body injury” after each bout. He re-aggravated it against the Illinois kid so they pulled him from the tourney. Smart move on his part in my opinion. Same with Cael on Nolf. Rl should know better that you don’t let Imar hook up on upper body throws. Bad move. Del and Nick G are better than that. Hopefully both get to nationals and redeem themselves. Disappointed. I am sure so are the coaches.

I'm confused, I thought MVB was finished after his second loss? Trackwrestlings brackets doesn't show MVB vs Gasca
There is a mini bracket with the 6 wrestlers not top 8 wrestling for 9th place....there now down to 4 left..As mentioned finishing 9th (at weight with 8AQ spots) is considered when NCAA picks At large (Wildcards)
On track wrestling scroll down past 285lbs when choosing weight and it will show all the extra brackets
Final 4 wrestling for 9th place at 141lbs are:
Cole Weaver-Indiana
MVB
Tommy Thorn-Minnesota
Alec McKenna-Northwestern

Brown's syndrome is a little bewildering to me. Suriano's seems to be of a different nature at this time. If he isn't close to 100%, my guess is he is doing this to try and help preserve his #1 ranking and possible #1 overall seed at the Nationals. Similar to what NATO (presumably) did when he was coming off injury and OSU visited us.
I don't see how Cruz isn't the #1 seed , being the returning champ, and current #1 in the Coaches poll, as long as he wins the EIWA today, which he should, no other ranked opponents a125 there. I think NATO gets #2 seed if he wins today , Suriano will be #3 or ecen vice versa, and Lee #4. .
MVB on deck Mat 1
Why do you always make up crap when there isn’t any ..staph is nothing to mess with ..hopefully it’s cleared up but certainly nothing that he needed to finish this tournament for .. it’s just you and your PSU bias talking ..stop trying to sell the agenda you think is goin on with absolutely no facts to back it up
We were 11th ranked team out of 14 during regular season. Tournament seemed to track to our BIG regular season performance of 3 wins and 6 losses.
Good point and since Cruz isnt in the B1G, his name doesn't get mentioned much. I was going solely on NS's #1 in 2/3 ranking services.
Yes it does ..look at the brackets drop down ...four weight classes have that extra bracket
The brackets actually shows him at the top bracket so not sure why they switched it so he faces Thorn ....kinda confused about that
Yes I know, but many, including myself thought we had a better tournament team than dual team this year. When your basically conceding 197 and heavyweight most matches it made sense. However that theory in retrospect was wrong and I was completely wrong for believing that and elevating my expectations. Once again 11 out of 14 even in the tough B1G is not very good at this point in the program. Like I said I know I'll be lowering my expectations come NCAA's and for next year's prospects.
What was once considered one of our better squads turned into(via injury or whatever the hell happened) a 8-7 (3-6) dual and current 11th place in B1G Championships. After the dual performance we all moved the needle back to well if RU does well in B1G's all is OK. Now we're moving the needle back again to NCAA's(due to injury or whatever the hell happened). One more shot to get it done if not? I guess we just move the needle to next year.

Today is another day. Let’s hope the boys are ready today. There is still a lot at stake today regardless of WBs or going forward.
Van Brill's match will not count towards our team score, and will go towards at-large qualification considerations for NCAA's.
141 | Michael Van Brill will be the first to go for Rutgers during Session III. He'll face No. 6 Tommy Thorn (Minnesota) on Mat 1.

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