RU v Princeton Match Thread

[KidDagger]

Think they would bump Gravina to 197?

Doubt it.. way too dicey. Princeton's 97 is ranked 4th in the country and by making that move we risk losing both 84 and 97. I feel like I'm explaining a strategic chess match lol

 

[Abro1975]

Tough loss for Bak in OT. RU up 14-9

 

[belushijo]

Bakuckus.....can never seem to get over that hill against ranked guys.

 

[Passe24]

Bak is exhasting to watch. That is a replay of every big match he has wrestled

 

[Abro1975]

RU losing 125 and 141 just too much to overcome.

 

[belushijo]

Yeah, not looking good for RU. High likelihood of Princeton getting bonus in the final two matches.

 

[KidDagger]

So now we need Gravina to win and to hold Princeton to under 2 bonus points

 

[R U Crazy]

Gravina tech....radio sounded like Graqvina may have pinned his kid.

 

[R U Crazy]

19-9 with 2 bouts left.....wow

 

[Abro1975]

Gravina w a TF over a good kid. RU up 19-9 w 2 to go.

 

[belushijo]

Gravina is a monster.

Don't lie to me like this!!!

 

[Abro1975]

At 197 Messner vs ranked AA Harner

 

[AreYouNUTS]

Looked like a PIN to everyone other than the ref

OMFG yesssssss!!! Gravina for MVP!!! We need to hold Princeton to under 4 bonus points I think theres a decent shot at this LFG!

 

[KidDagger]

At 197 Messner vs ranked AA Harner

Messner instead of Correnti is interesting.. is this because Messner is better at keeping scores close I suspect?

So what has to happen to close out the match with a win?

 

[Abro1975]

So what has to happen to close out the match with a win?

19-19 RU wins on criteria, as long as Mess and Gross dont' get pinned

 

[KidDagger]

So what has to happen to close out the match with a win?

We need to keep them under 4 bonus points from 97 and HWT. If they get 4 bonus points the bout is tied, which Abro confirms we win on criteria so keep them under 5 bonus and we win

Can't give up 4 bonus points in last two matches.

EDIT(5 bonus points) as others have said

Yo this Result got me HYPED! I'm imagining Gravina coming out with a mean mug on his face looking to punish lolllll... wow, guy he beat was ranked 14 or 15th in country and had just pinned Jack Dechow.. What a statement by Gravina!!

 

[R U Crazy]

Messner holding his own....down 5-2 after 2

 

[Abro1975]

If Mess avoids bonus RU wins Mess trails 6-2 now with RT

Thanks - what's a bonus point? :flushed:

 

[belushijo]

Messner being scrappy. Love it.

 

[Clearscreen25]

Can't lose by 8 (Major -4 points) Tech lose by 15 (5 points) or Pin ( 6 points)

 

[R U Crazy]

BOOYAH KACHA!!!!!
Messner for MVP.

GreaT coaching job...bumping at 165 and 197 change.,

 

[Abro1975]

RU wins with a good loss by Messner !

 

[Clearscreen25]

Messner showed a lot of heart right there

 

[KidDagger]

Gravina and Messner are my herooooesss!!!!

 

[Abro1975]

Ray McDonald vs Mark McDonald (R) at 285

 

[AreYouNUTS]

16000+ 2nd biggest dual match crowd in NCAA history RU wins!

 

[Abro1975]

Announced 2nd largest wrestling attendance in college history, almost 17, 000 !

 

[mandfense]

Anybody have Ash losing but Rutgers winning the match?

 

[KidDagger]

Are you nuts?!? thats craaaazy!! My day was saved TY RU wrestlers, staff, and everyone here!

 

[Passe24]

Good win considering 125 hurt and 141 stung.

 

[KidDagger]

Anybody have Ash losing but Rutgers winning the match?

How bout Ash and Mccabe losing and RU still winning the match?

 

[Abro1975]

How bout Ash and Mccabe losing and RU still winning the match?

I was happy to be wrong that RU could not overcome these losses. Huge kudos to Coach G for bumping up Lewis, and inserting Messner and McD at 285. Mess might be the MVP w a loss, but probably Gravina w the TF over a good wrestler is the MVP today.
