***Oklahoma Preview/Predictions/Results(1/5 in Norman)***

[Judoka]

Starting at 141. So four matches where Oklahoma is favored will start us off. Then three where we are favored.

 

[cloneswereall]

Well, this is starting out fantastically.

 

[Judoka]

Maple wins it 12-0. Was up 7-0 with RTand Goettl got caught trying to get a takedown to avoid the major.

 

[Judoka]

Well, this is starting out fantastically.

We got beat by a guy who has beaten us multiple times... if you are gonna get mad about that then there are about 1, 000 other threads you can get mad in.

Mayfield is gonna lose too. And also probably Molina and Moreno. No sense getting mad about it when you knew last March that it was gonna happen.

If we lose at 174, 184, 197, or 125 therw is cause to be upset.

 

[Judoka]

Mayfield has traded takedowns. Down 3-2 in the third

 

[cloneswereall]

Lester wins it in the last 10 seconds. 6-4

 

[Judoka]

Mayfield loses 6-4. He tied it 4-4 with a td but gave up a takedown late. Disapointing to give up late points but I was expecting Lester to win by Tech Fall so I will take the decision.

ISU down 0-7 after two matches.

 

[Judoka]

Molina goes down 6-4 to #14 Lester. Both him and Mayfield wrestled far better than I expected. Lots of improvement. Hopefilly we see that in the rest of the matches.

ISU down 10-0 after three. I had expected Oklahoma to be up 12-0 at this point.

 

[Judoka]

Graham up 2-1 over Moreno going into the second at 165.

 

[cloneswereall]

It's tied up at 4-4 with the end of the 2nd period.

 

[Judoka]

Tied 4-4 going inti the third. Graham has RT and will start down. Moreno will have to cut him and get a takedown to force OT. Would need two to win.

 

[Judoka]

Graham gets a stalling call nut holds on to win. 6-4. Oklahoma up 13-0. Need lots of points in the next three matches.

 

[cloneswereall]

Weatherman with the T-Fall.

 

[Judoka]

Tech fall by Weatherman at 174! 20-5! He beat the same guy 7-0 at Midlands.

Oklahoma up 5-13

 

[Judoka]

England out the for Beard at 184. Up 5-0 in the second and just had to take blood time.

 

[Judoka]

England wins it 10-5. Oklahoma leads 8-13

I have a feeing the lack of Gibson is going to cost us this meet. We have wrestled well so far and with Gibson we'd be favored in three of the last four matches instead of two of the last four.

 

[Judoka]

Gadson wins it 10-2. Late takedown to get the bonus point!

Oklahoma up 12-13. Unless Swope gets a lucky pin I think we'll have to get an upset out of Meeks to win this.

We can't catch a single break. Our guys are wrestling great tonight and we're short our captain and have to toss in a freshman against an NCAA qualifier.

 

[Judoka]

Shaffer out there at heavyweight instead of Swope. Good move I think. Hall beat Shaffer 11-5 last year but he has a better shot at a win than Swope would. And if he loses it is more likely to be a decision, which would keep us alive if Finch takes care of business and Meeks gets an upset.

 

[Judoka]

0-0 to start the second.

 

[Judoka]

Shaffer up 3-2 and gives up a last second takedown to lose 4-2. We must give up more end of period scores than any other team in America. Do we even practice for the end of periods? Shafer was having a great match to be leading against Hall and then he ****** it away with a few seconds left.

Oklahoma up 12-16. We gotta win both of the last two. Finch is favored, Meeks is not.
