Hardy is way too quick for Oliveri he's going to get smoked. I do not like how the ref allows Hardy to ride paralle for over a minute and not even try to work with no stall.
No. 11 Wrestling At 2025 Big Ten Championships
- Thread starter Tango Two
- Start date
Because of his consolation bye, Harer will secure a bid at nationals if he wins his next match. Will likely face Brandon Cannon from OSU. They didn’t face each other in the dual as Harer faced Sasso and kept it tight.
If Harer loses he will have to wrestle back for 9th for the possibility of an at large.

Damn Cannon is sneakily good, and the Ohio s staff felt it was the right move to go with him over Sasso. I really hope Harer can qualify his first season..
Olivieri and Clark will both face the winner of the 12/13 consolation.
Clark would be an NQ with a win.
Olivieri would need to win that match, and then win 1 of his next 2 after that. He will likely be the higher seed in all of those matches.

Cannon knocks off the #1 seed so Harer is actually going to face Ethen Miller who majored Harer this year
Damn I knew Cannon was good, Miller shoulda never got the 1 seed I guess their plan of ducking the last match backfired against them.
Rutgers home ref, once again. That guy is horrendous.
Not a BS call Bill. I love our wrestlers but he fled the Mat. Its the right call.
That was fleeing the mat, my problem, the ref should not have let the disparity in shots go with only one stall. When one guy dominates all the shooting, more than one stall is called for. Heindselman's entire offense consisted of two slaps to the thigh, meanwhile Yara tried 6 attempts.
Agree but also he was in deep on shots 3-4 times and could not finish.
That's my problem with the ref, Yara did all the work while Heindselman did nothing but try and counter. You know the aggressor always gets tired first and the ref rewarded him for passivity. In heavyweight you don't call stalling if they take a couple shots but if you take none, well you should be penalized. It's like he hit him with one stall in the 2nd and said that's good enough, when over the next 3 mins. he tried nothing except playing bull in the ring.

Yara is medically forfeiting out of the tournament. I’m guessing he messed up his shoulder.
Not sure what happens to him now. He’ll fall to the 9th place bracket and top 10 get auto bids. 11th place can get an at large spot but technically if he doesn’t wrestle he’ll be slated as 12th.

It's all fvcked up. Go to event calendar at the top click it, scroll down to 6 pm you'll see the tournament click it, then find mat. They only had a year to figure this out.
Mat 2 for Oliveri
No doubt he’ll get at large. And I understand what you’re saying as far as being 1 outside qualifying spot, but that’s only one thing they look at. Starocci injury defaulted 2 matches last year and got at large. Yara resume should be no brainer

Peterson, Shawver, Clark so far. Yara will most likely get an at large. 5 of the other 6 starters are each one win away.
Harer needs to start choosing top. It’s the best aspect of his game and with his opponents always choosing neutral, it’s a weapon that’s being wasted most matches.
Very hard to score when you don’t take a real shot
He def should get one.. the only problem now is he will get a very bad seed probably at nationals
