***#3 Iowa State at WVU (Friday)/#18 Pitt (Saturday)***
- Thread starter theshadow
- Start date
Only concern was Coleman's energy and when he got reversed, he didn't fight to get out either night. Looked like going for a major and had to settle for a win.
I agree with these points, but I’m not concerned about either guy in March. Yonger will learn. Marcus was disappointing, but I’ll take convincing wins over ranked guys as disappointing any day of the week
If they need to be Penn State for you to be happy then I can’t help you.
Iowa also only won on criteria against Wisconsin recently and has had plenty of banged up guys too. We’re also not at their level right now
Pitzer was going to redshirt. Adding a Top 5 guy to your lineup makes a big difference. Especially for Tournament rankings.
Don't you think you are being a bit harsh. Coleman is having an amazing year - at least to most people. And tonight, he got it done so we could win the meet.
we are 3 in dual rankings, but like 6th lately in tournament rankings
We ABSOLULTELY wrestled better tonight. I'm pretty happy with the performance minus YB blowing it at the end, but Sammy winning kind of evened that out.
That was a gritty road trip. Both Pitt and WVU have had some big dual wins this year.
With that being said, the next two duals are likely our toughest since Penn St.

I was very happy with the results. We were on the road and the weather out east isn't very good. Traveling and weighing in on the road is much different than being at home. The guys came through against two teams that know how to keep it close and I am so sick of guys grabbing the ankle and holding on. Carr & Marcus both out wrestled their guy. But it didn't show on the score board. Same with Johnson. Something needs to be done about the reaching back and holding on. My opinion. We are back and only sick about 174 and we need our starters back at 125. Caleb is doing great for what he is up against.
I will agree with you. I having definitely being picky with Marcus also, because you don't see him lay around in the down position.
Schuyler is working his way up to being one of my favorite clones of all time. His improvement from last year is amazing and he has a clutch gene. Going to be fun watching him AA in March
Nice, but realistically it should be his head on Randy Marsh pushing the wheelbarrow.
One thing that isn’t talked about enough is that Dresser wrestles to win. We aren’t trying to work on ”load management“. We aren’t sitting guys to avoid big match up’s. We show up and wrestle. We may have guys little dinged and/or mentally fatigued at times throughout the season.
I appreciate the mindset they we try to win duals every time out. Hopefully by March our team is battle tested and ready to finish strong.

Intermat has Pitt ranked 6th and ISU 8th for tournament.
For duals we are 3rd and they are 16th.
So they have some studs but not nearly as deep across the weights.
Match points. They specifically mentioned Marcus getting us 10 at 184 being the difference. Tons of close matches tonight.
