***2017 NCAA Wrestling Championships Thurs/Fri/Sat in St. Louis***

[isuska]

so Consolation Pigtails, then Quarterfinals, then Consolation Round 1 tonight (Matches 171-340)

 

[Judoka]

I looked where Hall fell in to the bracket and TBH his path isn't all that tougher due to the early loss. If good Hall were to show up tonight and tommorow there's nobody elite standing between him and AAing (though to be clear I don't expect good Hall to show up)

Unseeded Schram tonight, #14 KcKee tomorrow morning (who he beat 16-9 a few weeks ago), then #11 Lantry, then #8 Richards. None of the title contenders are on that list and good Hall can beat anybody but the title contenders.

I missed putting my team on wide right. Can you add my team there as well?

There are no easy matchups when you just got smoked by a freshman with a barely .500 record.

 

[HitItHard58]

Pretty quiet first round overall.

Crutchmer and Ward the only big ones to go down, and both only 7 seeds.

Ream is a 6 seed and got beat too.

 

[ISU22CY]

Hall Bounced

 

[matclone]

Collica (2 seed) lost in the round of 16. Myles Martin (last year's champion) lost too.

 

[matclone]

Hall lost 6-5. I don't think his heart was in it this year.

 

[matclone]

Nice to see all this Championship coverage on ESPN, even if they talk too much.

I think they are really trying to capture eyes that are just bouncing over their channel. I don't mind them explaining things if that is what they are trying to do.

Jumped through all the hoops to get that year back and then...

Yes, the biggest issue people have with wrestling is understanding it. Like offsides and icing in hockey, couple basic rules, but if you don't understand them then you don't like it. If someone learns something, they might watch it more.

 

[ajbjunior]

The coverage is great! It's been awesome to be able to watch the matches I want to or just watch the main feed. The coverage has come a long way in a short amount of time.

 

[bustamoveisu]

All joking aside, is this the worst showing @ NCAA Tourney ever?

 

[Judoka]

Jackson is gone dude, why are you still here?

 

[matclone]

All in all, their coverage has been better than I've seen in the past--I just wish they'd show a little more wrestling. Quint__ actually asking some decent questions of the wrestlers, instead of the usual bonehead stuff. A couple of nice interviews with Jim Gibbons who always does a good job of explaining things. Baldwin just did an interview with Dresser.

 

[Judoka]

. Baldwin just did an interview with Dresser.

Hope they put that up, I've just been watching the mat by mat streams.

 

[bustamoveisu]

Jackson is gone dude, why are you still here?

Same reason you're still here....Dude.

 

[matclone]

He probably didn't say anything you haven't heard him say before, but it was nice to see him in person giving the interview. I guess he did say we have a lot of work to do. Oh, and at the end he started to complement wrestler's mothers (that famous painting, I think), but by then they had already pulled the camera away.

 

[BillyClone]

I realize it's only the first day, but the team race could get interesting.

Here's what I counted for remaining wrestlers champ/consol:

Penn St - 7/1
Ohio St - 5/3
Okie St - 7/3
Iowa - 6/3

Still a lot to sort out tomorrow.
