No. 12 Rutgers Wrestling Faces No. 16 Wisconsin Sunday in Madison / Match Thread

[MS-RU]

Yea thinking he got tired due to being his first match in the R singlet...I have seen him in his open matches and he never looked tired. Being nervous first time out can zap some energy

For sure and it makes sense. He was jacked up and rightfully so. Definitely no long term concerns there.

 

[barrelroll]

I don't understand why the redshirt was pulled. If Sammy only missed weight by .4, why wrestle Oliveri. He can get great experience against tough competition as a redshirt and not give up a year, and be even better next year. I doubt that Oliveri's NCAA potential is close to Sammy. Is there more to the Alvarez story. Please explain the thinking behind wrestling Oliveri if the plan isn't for him to wrestled for the rest of the year.

 

[MS-RU]

TF would be huge here

 

[SCNJ]

If we can win 1 of the next 2 bouts we should be in pretty good shape to win the dual aside barring any upsets or a pin at 165/285

 

[RUCrackers]

I saw something on the mat.con a couple months ago that this Zargo kid could bench almost 350 pounds. That sounds insane for a 133-pounder. If that's the case Seabass must be off the charts strong because he's pounding this kid physically

 

[SCNJ]

Score is 14-2 and Rivera gets a stall call. Comical

 

[MS-RU]

Seabass is a monster. Love it.

 

[SCNJ]

He should just go 149.. he already has the frame for it… and most cases I see wrestlers do better when they focus on just wrestling and not the cut… Ash had his best year when he went up weight.

Can’t just jump up 16 pounds of good weight in a week. That’s a year long process if not longer

 

[IsItLuck]

Huge win for Oliveri!

He was so gassed but thankfully he is an incredible defensive wrestler.

Had some Anthony Giraldo vibes there.

 

[wngarbarini]

Told you we win 133 last night

 

[Leonard23]

Nice dominant TF by Rivera. Seems this ref is half asleep as he had backs several times but ref wouldn't swipe.

Rivera was pissed at the end of the 2nd and rightfully so. Wanted a challenge but would have been a waste since he was dominating anyway.

 

[koleszar]

I'm watching a fvcking replay during a takedown. Unreal.

 

[SCNJ]

MVB absolutely can not give up a major here

 

[MS-RU]

MVB needs to be smart here.

 

[RUCrackers]

MVB just getting out muscle here

 

[Leonard23]

MVB 1 shot and wrestling the edge stalling and very defensive.

 

[Leonard23]

Gomez destroyed him. Can't give up the major there.

 

[Jersey Boys]

🤦

 

[ScarletGrapfan]

MVB needs to be smart here.

Lol the Rutgers message board jinx!!!

 

[koleszar]

What a horrible match by Van Brill getting thrown to his back with 9 secs. left. Completely dominated.

 

[SCNJ]

MVB giving up a major with 7 seconds left is flat out unacceptable.

 

[Luvscarletknights]

Bummer. 10 seconds left.

Come on Kanniard

 

[RUTrack94]

Did not expect MVB to win, but he was manhandled.

 

[koleszar]

I've never seen a wrestler scramble more into a takedown then Kannaird.

 

[RUTrack94]

Wisconsin guy is manhandling Kanniard

 

[SCNJ]

Eyeballing it right now but I think Wisconsin has criteria unless Turley, Poz, and Bulsak can rack up some points. Might need bonus from one of them

 

[Bobbynieds]

I get so confused by scroeboard....why in he heck is RU wearing red and Wisconsin gets the red marker on socks?

 

[RUCrackers]

Calling Harley for Mike Van Brill... Calling Harley for Mike Van brill. So what excuse do you have today for your Golden Boy? You going to bring one of your loser excuses in that I've got to drink Boone's Farm or check the lock on my trailer.

 

[Bobbynieds]

Weight until 285 to drink boones farm wine

 

[SCNJ]

This is completely unnecessary. Why do you have to start

 

[JudgeSmails56]

Here we go again.. can you too just go fight in a parking lot or something and get it over with? Enough already.

 

[MS-RU]

Where the hell is Kanniards defense? He gives up his legs easier than anyone I’ve ever seen.

 

[Luvscarletknights]

Unnecessary. Calm down.

Not that I’m counting but I think HVB has landed the last 3-4 comments.
Crackers was due

 

[ScarletGrapfan]

Confusing the score keeper also..one of the dumb rules where the home team is always green and away team is red...does not matter uniform colors. Idiotic rule

 

[koleszar]

Kannaird just belly out at this point save the team point. He looked awful.

 

[ScottRU93]

Kanniard is rough to watch. That’s as nice as I can be.

 

[SCNJ]

Probably not wrong but this board would be more enjoyable if they both left

 

[RUCrackers]

Hey dude you're a big mouth going back and forth with Leonard all the time so pipe down. Also Kanniard needs to reassess if he wants to wrestle for this team anymore.
