MATCH THREAD: RU Wrestlers vs MSU, 2pm, BTN TV, lineups :

157 Final - John Van Brill Major Decs, RU and MSU tied at at 9 at the break.
 
Abro, why did Paetzell choose to start neutral at the beginning of the 3rd when he was up 2-1? Seems like he would start down to get the escape since I don't think RT was a factor.

Just speculating as I'm not too familiar with the MSU wrestler, but it could be a case where the MSU wrestler may be a really good top wrestler and were concerned about Paetz not being able to escape. Would be a good post-match question for Goody, which ultimately didn''t really play a role in the match.

Probably because Paetzell is better on his feet w takedowns than from bottom where he is a bit undersized (weaker) than most of the older Big 10 guys he's going against.
 
RU leads 10-9 at Intermission. Thank you fact checkers ! :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

165 is a prime example of making sure our guy doesn't choose bottom. Hughes is nasty on top.

165- End 2nd- Pafumi-still tied at 0, chose neutral and could not get a takedown
 
Damn ... Ridden for an entire period ... Looking at records, loss was more likely ... but still ... Ouch!
 
Last year all 10 of our guys qualified for the NCAAs. At this point looking like maybe 5 or 6.
 
Good to see some fresh blood at 174. Wonder what the ultimate plan is in terms of who the coaches will send out for Big Tens.
 
197 end 2nd- Correnti still up 4-1 plus RT as the MSU stalls as much as their 184 pounder. Lay on stomach for 2 minutes w ref doing nothing. Killing the sport. snoozefest.
 
197 Final- Correnti w a nice Major Dec . RU leads 21-12 and clinches the Match !
