No. 22 Rutgers Wrestling Set for 2023 Big Ten Championships
- Thread starter Tango Two
- Start date
Turley with the post season magic and in pretty damn good control of a guy who beat him up earlier this year. Congrats my man !
Olivieri has never been an offensively gifted wrestler unfortunately. He’s got a great cradle that he can hit from neutral but even in high school he won mostly low scoring matches against quality competition. Has to improve if he wants to damage in these tournaments.
Thankfully White took care of business and won his match so he qualified as well. That makes 7
Back to the Turley match. It actually looked like Turley out winded Washington. Turley got stronger later in the match as Washington faded. I also noticed he didn't fade against Ruth in the later stage of the match. He might be getting his wind.
Getting 7 to NCAA's possibly 8 is great. Finishing 11th still sucks balls no matter how much we pretzel twist it or lower the expectations.
At 149, it has DFF as the result for 7/8. It has m for as medical forfeit in other matches. What is dff? Disqualification?
No, not a good result finishing 11th but we have 7 qualified and 1 at large coming.
11 out of 100= good
11 out of 14= not so good
Double forfeit. Usually happens if someone hits a match limit. Or I guess in this case both guys just say there’s nothing to gain.
Doing his best wrestling of the year at the right time. He will be dangerous at Nationals. Bracket buster type guy. Seems to have a fire lit under him now. I think we all knew he could do it barring injury setbacks and seems to be hitting stride
Always my biggest worry with him. Good defense and tough on top but lacks offense at times
Really happy for Turley with all he has been though with the injury. Hope he catches a little lightning in the bottle for the NCAA's
Penn state with 6 in the finals, followed by Nebraska with 5, Iowa with 3, Minnesota and OSU with 2, Michigan and Wisky with 1
tough break for Boone. upset to hear about about his nose
Yes but I’d say overall this was a good b10 tournament.. we only ended 11/14 bc we didn’t have many top end scoring but to qualify 7 most likely 8 is a good result…
-Love that Peterson was able to avenge both his losses to Brown/Medley(reminds me of when Suriano went on his revenge tour)
-Clark omg, my most improved wrestler, beats former #1 p4p recruit Gallagher and Illinois’s Carr, who I believe was a former AA..
-Soldano pinning Assad was hugeee, bringing back some of that early season magic.. Soldano is a dangerous man
-Turley I knew some of that spark was back when he pushed Labriola.. took some good guys to OT, and avenged his earlier loss to Washington
-We also qualified all our borderline guys, White, Clark, Turley and I have a good feeling Olivieri will get an at large bid
So far we have scored 32 points. We could get a couple more points depending how Soldano does against Pinto. Here is the number of points each of our guys scored.
Peterson: 5, Heilmann 4.5, Olivieri 0, White 0, Clark 0.5, Kanniard 0, Turley 7, Soldano 10,
Janzer 0.5, McDermott 4.5. Two surprises were Olivieri on the negative side and Turley on the positive side.

He needs to be more aggressive on his feet, instead of always looking to counter. He has a good O when he gets to it but it's not often.
where can I find the finals mat stream. big 10 plus only has 3rd/5th mats and a multi camera that the finals wrestlers look like ants!! this is horrible what the hell?!?!?!?!
Regular TV BTN for finals. BTN plus you have to select mat 5th or mat 3rd, not 3rd and 5th multi camera.
And Soldano gets pinned in about a minute. Loves the upper body throws which bites him in the ass on occasion.
Nebraska coaches were yelling to stay off his legs. Good antidote to not getting rolled. Pinto has a similar style as Brian. Soldano almost had it too, but Pinto is probably just as comfortable in those positions.
