Return to Jersey Mike's Arena: No. 24 Rutgers Wrestling Hosts, No. 20 MSU(Friday), No. 3 Michigan(Sunday)

[koleszar]

I would have thrown the brick looked real close 2

 

[Bobbynieds]

Clark has a saddle on his back in the 2nd

Don’t think staff wants to use it in a match that we’ll probably lose by decision anyway.

 

[Bobbynieds]

Clark loses 5-0



RU up 13-3 ... couldn't have asked for a better start

 

[koleszar]

Well Clark at least made weight. That’s about the only bright spot of that match.

 

[SCNJ]

Clark keeps Saldate to a decision. 13-3 at the break.

Unfortunately I still don’t know if it’s going to be enough. Soldano has to get 3 in a toss up match and we’re going to need Turley to come up big. I’m assuming we’re giving up 12-15 points between Oneil, Janzer, and Odonnell.

Supposedly Epperly will be wrestling at heavyweight according to btn

 

[Bobbynieds]

Isn't MSU wrestling a backup at 285 tonight?

 

[SCNJ]

Epperly is better than Odonnel but I still expect to give up bonus there.

Interesting. Thought that was Casale warming up with ODonnell

 

[SCNJ]

Doesn’t really matter. Odonnel isn’t ready to be a big 10 wrestler and he’s only out there because Casale is in redshirt. Epperly would be better but he’s going to be a very small heavyweight. Has a good frame but going from 197 up is a crazy jump.

 

[Bobbynieds]

Fish beats ONeil 2-0 13-6 RU

 

[SCNJ]

Double boots without an attempt at a power half should be a stalemate.

 

[RUTrack94]

2 goose eggs in a row .,, but still up 13-6

 

[SCNJ]

I don’t know what the replay rules are but this should be 2 for MSU takedown and the action continued for a reversal. If this somehow becomes 2-0 MSU then replay rules need to be revised.

What a joke. They go 2-0 MSU. Doesn’t really matter because Turley got the escape point anyway but that’s a call that could change a match late in a period.

 

[koleszar]

How is that not 4 backs?

 

[Bobbynieds]

Turley wins 7-2
RU 16-6

 

[SCNJ]

3rd time this ref has missed a Rutgers pin. That one was bad.

16-6 RU. Need one more bout win to clinch the dual.

 

[RUTrack94]

Turley wins … felt like he got screwed out of a few points … but gets RU their 5th win of the match and up 16-6!

 

[SCNJ]

Soldano is the most insane wrestler I’ve ever watched

 

[koleszar]

How many bricks do they get? That should be violation

 

[RUTrack94]

How many challenges per match?

 

[PessimisticallyHopefulPragmatist]

Good on Turley. How'd he look? Any semblance of old?

 

[Bobbynieds]

16-5 MSU penalized a point

 

[SCNJ]

We have a 4th missed Rutgers pin. Pathetic.

 

[SCNJ]

16-5 MSU penalized a point

This could end up being huge. Theoretically Soldano could lose by decision, Janzer lose by major, heavy lose by major, and we’d be tied but hold tiebreaker for unsportsmanlike penalties.

 

[koleszar]

And another brick

 

[Bobbynieds]

If soldano doesnt get out...it will be a major

 

[Bobbynieds]

Loses 14-6


16-9 RU

 

[SCNJ]

Refs complete refusal to call pins cost Olivieri 2 team points, Turley 3 team points, and now leads to a 10 point swing in this Soldano match. 15 point swing because of terrible officiating.

 

[RUTrack94]

Malczweski scored 7 in a row after that nice Soldano move. Loss by MD. Ugh.

 

[PessimisticallyHopefulPragmatist]

Did Soldano get caught on his back again?

 

[ScarletGrapfan]

What a joke. They go 2-0 MSU. Doesn’t really matter because Turley got the escape point anyway but that’s a call that could change a match late in a period.

College tie breakers different than high school. Team point is way down the list for tie breaker

 

[RUTrack94]

Any chance RU holds the 285 match to a decision?

 

[Bobbynieds]

Caffey wins 3-1 in SV
16-12

 

[RUTrack94]

Janzer put up a great fight .., no shame losing to 14th ranked guy … still up by 4 … let’s see if RU can hold on.

 

[SCNJ]

Well that stinks

Major for MSU would give them the win then. Rutgers is currently +6 in bout points. Major would make them -2.

Team point would still cost MSU the match if we hold to decision.

 

[RUTrack94]

Loss by decision is as good as a win.
One period down, two to go.

 

[RUTrack94]

Ok … two periods down and it’s 1-0.
