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

[Leonard23]

Kanniard is too stiff and hips aren't great so he struggles scrambling. Glad he didn't give up the major. Works hard but just isn't going to win many.

 

[SCNJ]

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.

Me and Leonard go back and forth all the time? News to me

 

[RUCrackers]

Unnecessary. Calm down.

Okay I'll calm down... because you say so.Idiot!

 

[SCNJ]

No intermission?

 

[RUCrackers]

Me and Leonard go back and forth all the time? News to me

Maybe it's not Leonard but you do open your mouth too much.

 

[koleszar]

WTF with these stallings. How does Clark get called when he's the only one shooting

 

[SCNJ]

So far we’ve wrestled 6 bouts and have been called for a stall in all of them including a match our guy won 18-3

 

[MS-RU]

Our middle weights are constantly dominated and overpowered. It’s going to extremely difficult to win any close duals like this one

 

[Luvscarletknights]

Okay I'll calm down... because you say so.Idiot!

Why are you such a Jerk. We are discussing wrestling match and you need to throw shade and taunt.

 

[RUCrackers]

I like the fight in Clark he's getting more confident.

 

[KidDagger]

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.

I don’t get this either.. so now who’s going to wrestle 33 in postseason? I’m assuming it is going to be Joey O since rs got pulled… is Sammy just a weight problem or is some injury lingering?? @___@ if it’s just a weight problem then sammy might as well start trying to bulk up to 149 rn… been saying he should be working towards 149/157 when he couldn’t make 133 weight last year 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ Or just use ur rs and wait till Seabass graduates..

 

[SCNJ]

Does anyone know the next criteria in a 5-5 split? Some places say it’s match points in which case we’d probably lose. Some places say number of tech falls which we would win.

We're toast against anyone with a pulse if Alvarez doesn't return.

 

[RUCrackers]

Why are you such a Jerk. We are discussing wrestling match and you need to throw I don't know what being a jersey is, but that comment was absolutely Justified. Every time Mike Van Brill has a decent match everybody come to his defense and crowns him like he's going to be some top three finishers. The guy's been in the program for like 25 years, and does 2 moves.

 

[MS-RU]

Clark needs to be able to finish there. Come on.

 

[koleszar]

Clark just has no idea what to do once he gets a leg. He gets in deep then is lost. He needs to work solely on his finishes.

 

[Leonard23]

I'd guess this is a clear indication that Alvarez is done for the season, at least at 133. Maybe he tries to challenge MVB for 149 or just shuts it down.

 

[RUTrack94]

Wisconsin looks like the stronger team … even in the 4-3 win.

In matches Wisconsin is favored I am rooting for a loss by decision.

 

[koleszar]

Good job Clark learn to finish and you'll get better.

 

[RuBird]

Can I get a score?

 

[Leonard23]

Clark holding that to a decision was good

 

[RUTrack94]

Clark did what was expected …

 

[Bobbynieds]

We need our horses to show up next 3 matches

 

[RU Diesel07110]

I guess looks like a wrap at 133 for Sammy but he’s only .4 over. Something’s up

 

[SCNJ]

We’re gonna need something special from one of the next 3 guys. Fully expecting a Boone loss by major. Would love to major one of these upcoming bouts

 

[Leonard23]

Can I get a score?

R 8 W 13. 174 up now

 

[RUTrack94]

We will see if Turley is back in the groove

Match points. College different than HS.

a. Greater number of victories. Note: Forfeits, defaults and disqualifications count toward total number of victories.
b. Combined total number of falls, forfeits, defaults and disqualifications.
c. Total match points scored only from decisions, major decisions and technical falls.
d. Total near fall points scored only from decisions, major decisions and technical falls. (Example: N-2 + N-2 + N-4 = Total of 8 near fall points scored for one team.)
e. Total number of takedowns scored only from decisions, major decisions and technical falls. (Example: T-2 + T-2 + T-2 = Total of 3 takedowns scored for one team.)
f. Least number of unsportsmanlike conduct calls.
g. First takedown scored in the dual meet. One team point shall be awarded to the team winni

 

[SCNJ]

Can I get a score?

13-8 Wisconsin. Rutgers favored in 3 of the following 4 bouts

Rooting for a Wisconsin wrestler to get a cramp …

Match points refers to the final score, for example we’d get 4 points for Olivieri and Wisconsin would get 3 for their guy?

 

[Leonard23]

I'm guessing the injury. Not easy to cut that much weight when you're healthy. If he can't get in all the extra runs and workouts, then he's not gonna make weight unless he starves more.

 

[RuBird]

13-8 Wisconsin. Rutgers favored in 3 of the following 4 bouts

Thanks. More importantly who is up in the Crackers bout😜?

 

[Leonard23]

Surprised they didn't call a stalemate. Pretty long scramble

 

[koleszar]

I've never seen stalling thrown around so haphazardly in my life.

 

[SCNJ]

7 bouts. 7 wrestlers banged for stalls.

 

[ScarletGrapfan]

Yes correct.

 

[JimmyJack39]

Man this program has just stalled as whole. Wisco just stronger. When will recruiting take the next step?

 

[RUCrackers]

Turley has got to pull one of his crazy moves out on this one

 

[MS-RU]

Aside from Rivera, so far the entire Wisconsin roster is considerably stronger than our guys and it’s making a huge difference. We get absolutely mauled on bottom.
