Rutgers Wrestling ---- NCAA Tournament / Updates & Results (All Sessions)

[R U Crazy]

Billy S advances with a 3-0 win....over 3 minutes of riding time.

 

[PhilaPhans]

Nothing happened in the first period, and he almost had 4 minutes of riding time. That pretty much explains the entire match in that one sentence. Happy for the win for Billy!

 

[Abro1975]

Smith w a 3-0 decision.

Things breaking good for Ashnault , shame he wasn't the 3 seed. He'll still need to beat Heil in Semi's most likely , but AA looking good. That 3rd period though, he looked like he was saving energy.

 

[RU23]

Lewis on deck on mat 8

 

[PhilaPhans]

I did notice that he wanted to go neutral in the 2nd (Ash). Again, probably to save some energy like you said. But he's always seemed more comfortable on his feet than on bottom.

 

[AreYouNUTS]

Currently T-9 with NC State only 2,5 pts out of 5th.

[PhilaPhans]

Any idea why Tsirtsis has struggled so much this year?

Nice win by Ashnault. Thought he could've techd.

Jack lost.

It's the NCAA championships. Who cares how he wins. All good.

 

[PhilaPhans]

It's the NCAA championships. Who cares how he wins. All good.

It actually DOES matter, even though the most important thing is for Ash to win and advance. Bonus points go a huge way to team points and possible individual wrestler awards.

The only individual award Anthony cares about is Saturday night. Style points mean nothing. Trust me.

 

[PhilaPhans]

The only individual award Anthony cares about is Saturday night. Style points mean nothing. Trust me.

Sure, MVP awards may not be high on his list, but I guarantee you he wants to get as many team points for Rutgers as he can. He's a team player too, which goes hand in hand during tournaments.

 

[RU23]

Damn tough loss for Lewis there.

 

[Leonard23]

Tough loss for Lewis. He wrestled well. Evenly matched.

Any idea why Tsirtsis has struggled so much this year?

I'd guess it's because his sister was killed in a car accident in September.

Yikes. That's awful. I honestly didn't know, because I don't follow everything so closely on a national level. Thanks for the info.

 

[RU Diesel07110]

What was score of Lewis match

 

[PhilaPhans]

8-7. Guys traded takedowns and escapes for most of the match. Sadly, VaTech got the last one in. Had this thing gone three more periods, it would have probably been about a 15-14 score. Very good, close match.

 

[ScottRU93]

8-7, lost on takedown with about 30 secs left when it was 6-6. If you are going to take neutral at 6-6 instead of down you got a find a way to win. I know riding was at like :37 but could have gotten the winning point.

 

[PhilaPhans]

Real exciting match between Walsh of Rider and Gantt of NCState. 10-8 Rider in the 3rd.

 

[Abro1975]

Walsh of Rider , Cherry Hill, About to knock off the 2 seed Gantt at 157

 

[Abro1975]

Rider w a big night w 2 big upsets Clagon and Walsh. Rider beat RU in the ntourny last year as did Princeton

 

[RU Diesel07110]

Damn really rooting for RL. Great article on him on path since hs. Good ale said he brings toughness to the room. Whoever drills with him better tie their laces tight. And there's probably going to be a fight. Great quote shows RL mental toughness

 

[RU23]

Perrotti loses. God damnit

 

[PhilaPhans]

What in the world happened to AP in the 3rd?

 

[Abro1975]

and down goes AP 4-1. What the heck happened to RU ?

 

[Leonard23]

Not a good match for Perrotti. He did nothing on his feet the 1st period.

 

[ScottRU93]

He did not wrestle smart. You get what you get with Perrotti, sometimes greatness and sometimes wtf.

 

[Passe24]

Lewis had a nice effort. AP looked terrible. No energy. All there backs are against the wall now. Mecate will be a hand full tomorrow as well. Hope he can gut a tight one out again.

 

[kjb32812]

Tough loss for Lewis. He wrestled well. Evenly matched.

I'd guess it's because his sister was killed in a car accident in September.

His best friend also died as did his HC right before the season started.

Think you mean Brennan? He beat Roshkopf (sp?) Clagon lost his second match.

 

[Abro1975]

Think you mean Brennan? He beat Roshkopf (sp?) Clagon lost his second match.

Right you are, my bad.

 

[koleszar]

Starting to get a little disappointed. I sure hope we wrestle well in the wrestle backs.

 

[Abro1975]

We haven't had one guy beat a higher seed, and about 6 lose to a lower seed, and lost just about every toss up.

IMO, today has gone very bad.
