Degen looking good to start. Up 4-1 after the first. Some good scrambling and getting to his offense.

Good news for Parker



The #10 guy is the highest seed that drops in to his quarter of the consolations, with Gil going down now it is likely either Parker or Brock that'll make it out of that quarter to the blood round instead of Gil.

Degen-Rohlfing match was hilarious in a nerve-wracking sort of way.

No clean takedowns, tons of long scrambles. Not sure if Degen ever got to a leg first, but he was in control the entire time (if that makes any sense).

He looked good, he's got a good chance against Oliver if he wrestles like that again.

Gfeller loses in OT to a kid from Va tech with a 16-14 record.

That's the stuff Oky State cant afford if they're gonna take down Penn State.

Makes it more important for Degen to win against Oliver this evening. If he loses that match he'll likely have Gfeller first thing tommorow morning now.

It drops Gfeller in to the same part of the consolations that the loser of Degen's next match falls in to, as well, so there's that.

They weren’t taking down PSU anyway, but it will be a real battle for second and that could hurt.

Yeah - plus a battle to keep Iowa out of third. Unless it impacts an Iowa State guy I'm low key cheering for Ohio State, Michigan, and Oklahoma State this weekend to knock Iowa down to 5th or worse. Though obviously if an ISU guy is involved I don't care if us winning helps Iowa.
