***Virginia Duals Friday & Saturday Jan 12/13***

[Judoka]

Its a short turnaround this week as the team has headed to Norfolk for the Virginia Duals. There are 13 D-1 teams competing and Friday will be pool play. ISU has drawn #10 Arizona State and Virginia in to their pool. Then on Friday afternoon and Saturday the teams are broken in to three four team brackets based on how they did in the pools (1st place in each pool to the top bracket, 2nd to the middle bracket, 3rd to the bottom bracket, I don't know what happens to the 13th team but we aren't in the 4 team pool so I guess we don't really care).

ISU wrestles Virginia at 8AM central time and Arizona State at noon central time.

Tournament Website is here
Trackwrestling is offering a PPV stream for $14.99 for the weekend. I've never used their stream so I can't comment on good/reliable it is.

Here's the other pools. Probably safe to assume we won't be facing Virginia Tech or UNI. Lock Haven or Oklahoma could win the York River pool so that one is a bit up in the air. And to be honest I'm not sure if we'll be in the middle or bottom bracket on Saturday.

Hampton River Pool:
Campbell
Old Dominion
#9 Virginia Tech

Poquoson River Pool
Kent State
Chattanooga
#11 UNI

York River Pool:
#20 Lock Haven
Fresno State
Oklahoma
Bucknell

Rankings for the teams are from the latest NWCA/USA Today coaches poll.

It will be interesting wrestling against the Paulsons.

Also could get a match against Garret Kiley and Campbell also.

Also could get a match against Garret Kiley and Campbell also.

Plus former ISU guy Nathan Boston at 133 for Campbell if we end up wrestling them.

Have a preview, in just under the wire.

I didn't sign up for the track stream because it's tough to watch more than a match or two while at work vs. just having a tab open set to Track. Did anybody shell out for that?

I didn't subscribe to Track. Just coming here for updates. Thanks in advance!

Sinjin got tech'd 20-4, VA leads 5-0.

Simmons down early 4-0 to Mueller.

 

[crooksie_26]

Simmons with a takedown! down 4-2 early in the second it seems.

 

[Primetime26]

Wow Simmons with the ride out. Hanging tough so far!

 

[crooksie_26]

It appears Simmons rode him out in the second, still down 4-2 to start the third.

 

[crooksie_26]

Simmons loses 5-2, we are down 7-0 overall.

 

[crooksie_26]

Storr up early 2-0.

 

[Primetime26]

Should be 8-0 right? Tech+Dec unless they lost a team point for something?

 

[crooksie_26]

End of 1 Storr up 2-1.

 

[crooksie_26]

Should be 8-0 right? Tech+Dec unless they lost a team point for something?

Yep you are right.

 

[crooksie_26]

It's tied 2-2 in the 2nd, but Storr was over two minutes of riding time.

 

[crooksie_26]

Takedown Storr and he cuts him 4-3 now in favor of Storr in the 3rd.
