No. 12 Wrestling, No. 11 Lehigh Collide in NWCA National Dual Championship Series/Match Thread

Van Brill continues the ugliness. Match over. I'm shocked & disappointed how badly we're wrestling.
 
Why the F does Van Brill continue to spin into that situation. He is constantly going for cheap back points that aren't going to work at this level. Its completely frustrating to watch...he is always putting himself in a bad position on top.
 
As a Rutgers fan, I want nice things. Frustrating to watch us give individual matches away like that.

Lehigh is a tuff place to wrestle. Just like the RAC. Yes we are a little flat, but Lehigh is wrestling tuff at home.
 
Though Del controlled match for 2 and a half periods.
If van bill had let his opponent up after gaining a riding point advantage...

Different match
 
F'ing disgraceful. Worst match as a team in a long time. Even vs PSU and Michigan we didn't wrestle like jackasses like we are tonight.
 
Well ... We know the outcome and time to stop getting yelled at by the wife for ignoring the kids ... Not worth it ... Night guys.

To all u guys who wanted this Lehigh match up. Is this what u had in mind??? This is a real confidence builder going to B1G's.
 
I like the match as a wake up call...Wrestle sloppy, you lose.
Can't go into B10 and wrestle like this.
Only person I think was outmatched today was Paetzall.
The other matches were winnable if the wrestler performed to their abilities.

The being said...165 could be ugly.

We have to wrestle better, and we are capable of it. Van Brill had that match and essentially gave it away. We are sluggish tonight and it's not because of Lehigh--midway through Ash's match I was wondering if we wrestled so hard the last couple of days that we're tired. We all knew it would tough to win but we aren't aggressive. From my count we had three single-leg takedowns in our grasp that we let get away, for instance.

Maybe @Passe24 or @Abro1975 can comment.
 
lehighs is wrestling tough....they look stronger....our guys are lethargic
gotta be smarter on the mat....vanbrill 's funk doesnt work well in college
 
Come on???? Lehigh isn't worse then PS or OS. Our guys never got off the bus today. Very flat. I got one would have loved to see anyone other then Lehigh. We don't match up well and we are asking young first year starters to knock off tough wrestlers who have been around the block. This will get embarrassing

He just has to have better awareness as to when to bail out from a bad position. His style is fine and it's the reason he's been successful so far.

Comment on what?
125-Cruz is a two time AA BP was over matched
133-Parker ranked ahead of Del
141-AA ranked ahead of Cruz-Cruz is very tuff
149-I picked Theo to win but Gardner ranked ahead of him
157-Picked Van Brill to win but Longo is solid and Van Brill has very good record with two or three quality wins. He should have beat Longo
165-Minotti is just a lot better than Scott. Scott has done a decent job, but he is not a Big starter.
 
Its starting to become a trend with us being flat on the road. I am really glad I didn't haul out there for this. Wouldve been a very frustrating ride home.
 
Pagano leading #4 Preisch 8-3 after 2. 8-4 after the escape. Almost more points for Pagano.

FYI, Perrotti beat Presich last year 8-5.
 
Pagano with another 2! 10-4. We've been able to pick Lehigh's ankles all night. Just haven't been able to convert more than a couple times.
