Rutgers wrestling seeks elusive win over top 10 team Sunday against Illinois

[SCNJ]

Seeing a lot of Daton Fix, Greg Bulsak type of suffocation on top from Harer

 

[pish69]

Great match by Harer. Absolutely stupid match from Kraisser. I love when guys ride out a period to lose. He was never turning Harer and content to lose

 

[MS-RU]

Great win by Harer. Very impressive on top.

 

[pish69]

I see 165 for Illinois (hope to not give up bonus). Then it’s going to come down to who wins the tossups rest of way. Should be fun

Need @SCNJ to keep us updated to criteria as this could come down to it

Harer showing his potential and climb into the top 20. Olivieri doing much better this year than I expected.

 

[SCNJ]

Rutgers up 3 on the scoreboard entering the break

+6 in bout score for tiebreaker purposes

Expecting losses from White and SCW. Need 2 of Turley, Poz, Yara to win their bouts and White to keep it to a decision.

I’m not expecting SCW to lose. I believe that’s 100% a toss up..I think the last 4 are

Edit..after thinking about it, Ruth is slight lean and Yara slight lean but both well within the margins.

I agree it’s a toss up but I lean Ruth. Turley should be the favorite in his match but if he’s not up big after 2 he tends to gas out. Don’t know which Poz we’re getting today (Casale even weighed in), and Yara hasn’t really come out on top in these top 10 matchups this year. Should be an interesting end to the dual. Both teams are basically mirror images of each other. Wish we got bonus from Peterson.

 

[ScottRU93]

Is Clark sick or something? He looked shot.

I thought same thing. Maybe why he didn’t wrestle Friday

 

[ScottRU93]

Are we sure POZ is wrestling? Only saw Casale warming up

 

[njsportsphan]

Shawver has to get better on bottom. It’s the one hole in his game that needs significant improvement. I know Byrd is legit but Shawver’s only real means of escape is granby rolls.

I'd argue that he needs to get better on top. I can't recall when he's put together pinning combo.

Damn we need poz to pull this one out

 

[KidDagger]

White showing fight I’m impressed, he’s improved this year

 

[pish69]

White showing fight I’m impressed, he’s improved this year

He’s in this..now go do it! Would be huge

I really hope no bonus at 125 does not come back to haunt us. In a match where you need 2 takedowns in the 3rd, you cannot wait till around 35 seconds left to shoot.

 

[pish69]

That’s close..

 

[SCNJ]

Brick here is just to get a timeout for Turley I think. Don’t see takedown there.

Shawver not holding Byrd down for final second in the second too… coulda been OT match.. coulda been huge win for Shawver

 

[KidDagger]

Turley giving heart attacks out there LFGG

 

[ScarletGrapfan]

what a scramble for Turley!

 

[pish69]

Wow! Let’s go Turley. Thought he was dead to rights

 

[Scarlet Knut]

What happened in White's match?

 

[SCNJ]

I don’t think he got the takedown, had the chest wrap. We should be up 3 on the scoreboard and +6 on bout points. Need one more win and Casale (?) to avoid bonus.

 

[pish69]

What happened in White's match?

Lost via decision. One takedown match

 

[KidDagger]

Huge match for SCW here if he wins would have to imagine it’s his spot no more questions asked

 

[ScarletGrapfan]

It already is his spot.

I realize Poz had a tough night Friday but if he’s healthy, he needs to be out there for the team

It’s his spot..Soldano hoping to get medical shirt

 

[Scarlet Knut]

Lost via decision. One takedown match

Thanks

 

[pish69]

Damn

 

[SCNJ]

Tied up. +3 on bout scores

 

[pish69]

Poz had to have had the toughest couple days of his wrestling life. Happy to see him out there. Would be a huge win to put the Barr Fiasco in the past and come up big!

Let’s Go!

 

[KidDagger]

Do we win on tiebreakers if the score is tied?

 

[pish69]

Holy shit..I need to see this review

 

[Bobbynieds]

Do we win on tiebreakers if the score is tied?

yes

 

[SCNJ]

Do we win on tiebreakers if the score is tied?

Yes. Even if Poz gets the loss here, we’re +1 on bout score. A Yara win would at worst tie the dual, and we’d be on criteria

Unless we get an unsportsmanlike conduct (or if Poz gets the win here), winner at 285 wins the dual

 

[KidDagger]

Cmon big guy Yara….

 

[pish69]

Great dual. Comes down to HWY. Props to Poz for getting back on the horse and giving it 100%

 

[JudgeSmails56]

Damn. How we looking if it goes to criteria?

Match recap wins losses. Not able to watch today.
