The 3 point takedown is a disaster.

Incentivizes stalling. Totally different if a match is 3-2 instead of 4-2.

You've disincentified action.

Which could be fixed if officials got consistent about actually calling stalling. This crap where we won't warn until there's 30 seconds left so the track meet at the end can happen needs to go.

This is a fantasy. People have been saying this for the last 20 years. When we going to realize they’re not going to be consistent about it. It is an inherently subjective rule.

We need rule changes, starting with some type of step out.

I disagree, I just think coaches have their guys ready to go. The ability to scout and watch a lot of film changes things. It isn't the 3 point takedown, it's just high level wrestling. The whole tournament was great with a lot of scoring

David Taylor said hold my beer this coaching thing isn't that hard

I hope next year for the championship matches they break away from 125-HWT and switch to a UFC like card with the best matches to end it

I would've had the matches prior to the championship round happening like this:

157
125
197
133
141
165
149
174
HWT
184

Not a bad idea but ESPN said they didn't want to confuse fans just tuning in. I also think teams like Nebraska want the momentum for back-to-back champs.

Totally understand that, but I hated having Keck and CStar going first tonight and I feel like we should've built up to the first ever 5 timer

Agree with you there. I didn't like how they had that match first

Cstar wrestled Keck not to lose. Keck wrestled to win. Was really wanting Keck to pull it out
