Wow... Hildebrandt, Ayala, McKee, Heinselman, and Schroder all lost this round. Rough start for the B1G at 125.

the big winner there is Michigan in the team race

 

[MS-RU]

Oliveri coming up next on mat 3

 

[MS-RU]

Nice start for Joey O. He's taking shots and got the opening TD. Leads 2-1 after 1.

 

[MS-RU]

Rough 2nd period for Oliveri. Got rolled over and gave up 4 nearfall and a takedown. Trails 7-3 after 2.

 

[koleszar]

Oliveri being simply over powered now 9-4. Turner is just so much stronger. Oliveri in on some nice deep shots and Turner was able to flick him off like a bug.

 

[MS-RU]

Oliveri loses 10-4

 

[MS-RU]

Oliveri being simply over powered now 9-4. Turner is just so much stronger.

Yup, Turner is a 6th year senior and it showed. Oliveri was getting to his legs early but he simply overpowered him as the match went on.

 

[MS-RU]

MVB in the hole on mat 4 . Rivera up now on mat 4.

Marcus Robinson, 17-4 (Cleveland State) vs Mike Van Brill, 20-4 (Rutgers)

Yup, Joey O wrestled well but got overpowered. Hope he wins some wrestlebacks.

Was going to ask that. You could see the body maturity.

 

[koleszar]

Dominating performance from Rivera.12-3

 

[wngarbarini]

MVB up yet?

 

[Jersey Boys]

Van brill at 4

 

[mandfense]

MVB 3-3 after 2. 1:24 of RT

 

[koleszar]

3-3 going into 3rd MVB with riding time 1:24

 

[MS-RU]

MVB gives up a reversal, but immediately escapes so we are tied 3-3 after 2. He will start on bottom in the 3rd.

 

[mandfense]

Ughhhhh

 

[koleszar]

MVB loses on late takedown and back points too boot.

Not good, he was passive the whole third, constantly backing up with a stall call trying to protect the one point lead and riding time. Tried to stall his way to victory but it backfired in the waning seconds.

 

[ScottRU93]

thats what happens when you run away all match and dont push the offense. horrendous loss. inexcusable. this tournament is going to be all about Rivera.

 

[MS-RU]

Ugh, well that wasn't great. Not sure what MVB was doing there at the end.. a complete meltdown instead of just wrestling. I'm not sure when that strategy has ever worked and unforuntately its too late for him to learn his lesson.

 

[rugrapfan1]

Agree. Watch it there…LOL!!! I got a good feeling at 84 and 97. Let’s Gooo!!!

 

[wngarbarini]

Sad

 

[RobotHunter]

He would have been better off just backing away for another 20 sec and taken a second stall call. Would have still won with RT.

 

[wngarbarini]

He beat that kid 5-2 in the dual meet

 

[koleszar]

He would have been better off just backing away for another 20 sec and taken a second stall call. Would have still won with RT.

That's what he was trying to do the entire 3rd but Robinson finally caught him. He was trying to back out of it but Robinson wouldn't let him. He does better when he's aggressive.

 

[rugrapfan1]

On the positive side it is not impossible losing in this round and AAing. 2014? 😂

 

[rugrapfan1]

He beat that kid 5-2 in the dual meet

Different ball game in March.

 

[Leonard23]

Tough loss by MVB but not surprising with that style and strategy. He's looked his best this year when he attacks more, duh. Hopefully, he attacks more in wrestlebacks and makes a run. 🤷🏻‍♂️

 

[MS-RU]

Ha! look what your son Anthony did. One of the greatest backside runs I've ever seen.I lost first round in 80, and ran through 3 guys to make the podium.

To put 174 in prospective regarding O’Neil vs Starocci. I believe one a Fresh the other a Soph. But one year can’t be huge.
