***Big 12 Wrestling Thread***

Why do they insist on showing people talking while there’s wresting?

This drives me crazy too. I don't know why they do this except that maybe they think viewers like the human interest more than actual action.

How is Coleman down 5-4? Where was the escape.

 

[crablegs]

Straw does it again! Will place 3 or 4 but his win here takes him to the NCAAs.

So, it looks like we are going to have 8 qualifiers altogether.

I think there is still potential for a true 4th.

Colbray is in

I guess I was premature in my celebration then.

What do Straw and Coleman need to do to AQ?

What do Straw and Coleman need to do to AQ?

Straw is in. They take 4 at 165

 

[crablegs]

What do Straw and Coleman need to do to AQ?

Straw qualifies with a win, or a Moody win for 5th.

 

[crablegs]

Coleman must win his 5th place match.

Degen’s shoulder just went out on the edge in the 1st

Wouldn't that apply only if Kemp had defeated Straw earlier?

 

[DrizzyCyclone]

Straw gets pinned by Cook again, but Coleman wins by pin in his 5th place match.

 

[bear24]

Could anybody tell what happened to Sam?
Head injury?

 

[crablegs]

Wouldn't that apply only if Kemp had defeated Straw earlier?

Nope. Kemp lost to Fogarty and Cook which is the same as Straw.

They’ll have a true 4th match. Straw will need to win.

Coleman won and punched his ticket.

His hip I think

 

[JM4CY]

That really sucks. We need Sammy at or as close to 100% as possible. It makes me feel better he tried to go even hurt but I’m glad they just called it. No reason to get hurt worse.

 

[TedKumsher]

That's what really kills us. It seems to me like our guys are satisfied with just winning and not getting bonus points. And on a couple occasions we had majors in the bag and lost them in the last seconds because we didn't wrestle to the whistle.

Advancement points greatly outweigh bonus points. I'd love to see more bonus points but not at the expense of getting tired and losing the next match. Always tough to balance.

 

[Urbandale2013]

Is the placement match tonight?

 

[JM4CY]

Did chase wrestle? My ESPN app stopped working and says no matches on track?
