No. 12 Rutgers wrestling (11-5, 3-3) faces Maryland (8-7, 3-2) on Friday night in College Park

Is Harer on bottom a good idea?

I'm thinking not.

 

[rpiseman]

Why not put Harer on top and see if he can get a turn?

 

[Leonard23]

Why not put Harer on top and see if he can get a turn?

I agree but very unlikely he gets a turn. Miller was so much bigger and stronger.

 

[MS-RU]

Some officials really ruin matches with their ridiculously inconsistent stalling calls.

Probably not... But you are now putting him in his best position instead of his weakest...

 

[MS-RU]

Let’s see what Barbosa can do given the opportunity

 

[koleszar]

OMG breaking the plan is not a 45 degree angle for back points.

 

[MS-RU]

Barbosa up 11-1 after 2

 

[Leonard23]

Barbosa gets the tech 19-3

 

[MS-RU]

Barbosa gets the 19-3 TF. Great work!

 

[njsportsphan]

Barbosa looked great. He also looks much stronger. Thrilled that we have him on our squad.

 

[Leonard23]

Turley sluggish and sloppy and gave up a takedown. Can't lose that match. Ugly.

 

[Bobbynieds]

Sigh

 

[koleszar]

My God how Turley has regressed. What a horrible effort. Looks like we shot our load against Illinois.

 

[MS-RU]

Another sloppy and very poor effort from Turley.

 

[njsportsphan]

Horrible loss by Turley. Wow. Can't lose there.

 

[rpiseman]

Turley is the Butterbean of college wrestling. He’ll give you everything he’s got for one period

 

[MS-RU]

And now SCW getting throw around like a rag doll once again.

 

[koleszar]

Walsh gives up 3 at the buzzer how absolutely clueless can you be.

 

[PessimisticallyHopefulPragmatist]

Walsh gives up 3 at the buzzer how absolutely clueless can you be.

Last few seconds is a rather common problem.

 

[koleszar]

One stall and 9 shots later. Come on Ref.

 

[Leonard23]

Poz with the tech 21-4 and locks up the dual. Too close of a team score.

 

[koleszar]

Hopefully this is just a lull the last two weeks and not a trending down.

 

[njsportsphan]

Nice bounce back win by Poz. Dominant fashion. Refreshing to see.

 

[PessimisticallyHopefulPragmatist]

Poz with the tech 21-4 and locks up the dual. Too close of a team score.

Could end up 21-20

 

[koleszar]

I have never seen so many stalls in a heavyweight match in the 1st period. 3 total This ref has no idea what he's doing.

 

[dconifer]

Nice job as usual, Rutgers.

My Terps are trying to get back to where they used to be in wrestling (still first place all-time in ACC wrestling championships, took a hit when Pat Santoro left for Lehigh), but have never been at the level Rutgers is currently at. A result like tonight is pretty dang good from the Maryland side.

I'm not sure if Coach Clemsen will put Nevills out at heavy, but of course the match is already clinched for the Scarlet Knights. Kudos!

 

[koleszar]

Wow now that's what you call horrible officiating

 

[Leonard23]

I have never seen so many stalls in a heavyweight match in the 1st period. 3 total This ref has no idea what he's doing.

He stalled out. Ref was very inconsistent with stall calls. Surprised Yara didn't go. Overall way too close.

 

[MS-RU]

The officiating in that heavyweight match was a joke. That ref was complete trash and has no idea what he is doing.

 

[koleszar]

He stalled out. Ref was very inconsistent with stall calls. Surprised Yara didn't go. Overall way too close.

I've never seen a heavyweight match officiated like that before.

 

[Psufan2427]

Very impresssd with the jumps Clark has made since HS , never thought of him as more then a depth guy maybe a NQ but he’s made some big strides kudos to the Rutgers staff for that

 

[Craigmack61]

Hope we see Barbosa at 165 for the rest of the year.

Terps wrestled well, Rutgers not so much.

 

[koleszar]

No, he'll go to redshirt as this was his fifth and last date. Get ready for White from here on out.

 

[Craigmack61]

Oh good…he’s terrible.

 

[dconifer]

Terps wrestled well, Rutgers not so much.

They definitely maxed out (and then some) what they are capable of doing against the #12 team...

 

[koleszar]

This Iowa/Nebraska match is fun, the psu/um match was boring as hell, I turned it off.

Maybe it's because I am a South Jersey wrestling fan (to allay confusion, I'm a Maryland native), but I always thought he was going to be something special...
