To all of us who were doubting Gravina during the B1G tourney, we all owe him a big apology :)
Riding guys out wins at this level.

So
133 Delvecchio vs. Montoya (7). Montoya beat Delvecchio in the nebraska dual match
149 Theo vs. Crone (US). Never met before.
184 Gravina vs. Dudley (7). Gravina beat Dudley 3-2 in a dual match, and Dudley beat Gravina at the B1G tourney last year 8-2.
This is it boys...go big or go home

Can we get 1 more AA at least? I think we have a shot against all 3 Blood Round opponents.
What are the "places" we are still going for beside Anthony who can still get 1st ... is it a bracket like the B1Gs? ie a 3rd place match a 5th place match etc.
The three in the consolation bracket can wrestle back to 3rd, one win to guarantee 7/8 match, 2 wins to guarantee 5/6 match and three wins to be in 3/4 match.
Montoya trailed No. 17 Scott DelVecchio, 4-1, in the second period before a pair of takedowns gave him a 7-4 win
Hey guys,
Appreciate all of the updates and commentary as always. I know it's happening tonight, but does anyone have a rough idea of what time? Thanks

“It was a monster day for us,” Goodale said. “Ashnault’s win was huge. We knew Anthony and Kenny were going, but to have DelVecchio and Gravina fight back and win two, that’s huge for our program and is great for our guys. It shows a lot of character. It’s a tough thing to wrestle back at this tournament, so we’re excited."

This was from 2 years ago when Delvecchio last faced Montoya.

"Rutgers has an opportunity to have an unprecedented four All-Americans -- including a national finalist -- thanks to 141-pounder Anthony Ashnault's dominance and the out-of-the-spotlight work done Friday morning by 133-pounder Scott DelVecchio and 184-pounder Nicholas Gravina.
"We need a champ," Goodale said. "That's what we're chasing right now. It's a hell of a morning. But it's part of that roller-coaster. We're high, and now we've got to keep it there and stay on top of that mountain. Tonight is important. Anything can happen. We're trying to punch all three through and get a finalist."

Just my luck, my daughter is in the High School Musical tonight so I will miss the semi's and blood round. I will DVR it but no way I will not be peeking at my phone during the show.
Already told my wife if Ashnault makes the finals I am not going to the show tomorrow.

For the newbies, tonight's round will be on 6 mats. You will have the "Blood round" on mats 1, 2 ,5 and 6. The Semi's will be on 3 and 4. As mentioned before my favorite round of the tournament, especially when you are watching live at the event, which I am not at this year because did I mention I have a high school play to go to. No I'm not mad at all. LOL.
Have not been posting today much, just watching!!! But Del and Gravina really grinded thru the wrestle backs! As you know, huge fan and friend of AA and really hope he solves the Heil style. I really feel RU will get two of the 3 blood round victories and RU will break thru with 3 All Americans! Of course if Anthony makes the finals that will make whatever happens in the blood round forgotten!!
Also, a lot of RU fans think RU gets mostly bad publicity, but Jim Gibbons loves RU and is always praising the team, the fans and the RAC. He is my new favorite announcer!! Lets go Anthony!!!!!
Bring your IPhone, you can watch the big Ashnault- Heil match and put it on mute. Or bring earbuds ,lol. OR, try not to find out results and watch replays on ESPN3/watch/app etc when you get home. I just rewatched the full Ashnault - Kolodzik match for the 3rd time, lol. What a great app .
Which is a great idea until he screams out and fist pumps when Ashnault wins!!
I hate when wrestlers wait til they are down late in the third to start being aggressive and taking shots
