Big 12 Wrestling Tournament

Perhaps I treated Paniro too harshly
There was a lot more hype around Jacob than he deserved on this board. He’s had one good NCAA tournament, and is about 12-15 wrestler otherwise.

He has the talent, so I’m hoping he turns it on in a couple weeks. But he hasn’t looked good since pre OSU dual.

You’re surprised there was hype behind a 7th place sophomore?

Think his style works better when he's a big 41 vs being a 49. Probably can't beat ech or face off w/ his brother so it'll be interesting. Hope he can string together a big ncaa tournament.

He was more of a bully at 141. Go back and watch some of his 141 compared to this year. He rarely gets backs this year. People think he should go up on weight too.
 
Man I hope dean gets healthy… I think Euton is making a name for himself and gaitan is ready to AA. I feel bad for that OU wrestler, his knee was in a pretzel and the ref made the decision to let it play out cuz gaitan was close to finishing. He def tore something.

I mean, this is a really really good tournament by many accounts outside of injuries. Jacob had two weird matches but he has put way too much hay in the barn to think he can’t get his groove back. The majority look to be peaking. That’s all you can ask right now.
 
What happened at the end of the Euton/Downey match? I was watching the single match with no commentators. What was the review for stalling and then all the confusion and screaming?
On the quad they said they were trying to figure out if it was first or second stall as well as were they in bounds.
