What the hell is going on with mat 3? Murin and Omania 2-2 in the first and there is a stoppage with Murin wearing a hoodie getting a massage from Terry Brands.

Murin's head came down on his during a reversal. Looked like he was out for a second or two

Looked like knocked out cold face first into the mat

 

[GregPickel]

Looks like Omania MDFd.

 

[cb1994]

of course it’s a Murin match. Sigh.

 

[GregPickel]

Sorry but this is a terrible effort.

Don’t be sorry. It is what it is.

 

[Karl_Havok]

Gilcher (10) of IU taking it to Mike Carr (7) of ILL 7-1 in the third. Some had Carr as a dark horse in this tournament.

EDIT: now 9-2 Gilcher.

 

[gimb14]

[Karl_Havok]

Brayton Lee and Will Lewin tied 1-1 in SV right now as well.

Gilcher will face Haines, of course.

 

[LifeLongLion]

Oh where, oh where did the quad box go?

 

[Karl_Havok]

AF with a late TD to go up 2-0. End of first. Garbage stall call on AF though. Start of second 2-0 Alex. AF takes down.

AF out. 3-0. Swing single for AF. Finishes and it's 5-0. AF riding tough. He cuts him and it's 5-1.

Head inside single for AF. Waterfall position. Stalemate. End of 2 with AF up 5-1. Buell takes down.

 

[GregPickel]

Lewan fends off Lee in TB at 157.

 

[gimb14]

Words cannot describe how much I hate watching Lewan "wrestle"

 

[GregPickel]

Oh where, oh where did the quad box go?

Still good on my screen.

 

[NormanChad]

Oh where, oh where did the quad box go?

This Big Ten coverage blows.

 

[razpsu]

Lewan stalls his way to another victory. Just a cruddy way to wrestle. Looks like minny guy may have broken collarbone.

 

[gimb14]

This Big Ten coverage blows.

It always does. Pay the $10 and watch online

 

[LifeLongLion]

Still good on my screen.

Big 10 network isn’t doing it

 

[Karl_Havok]

Buell out and it's 5-2 neutral in the third. Collar ties and snap by AF. Near the edge. Head inside single for AF. Waterfall position. Chest lock for Buell. OOB. Restart.

 

[GregPickel]

Big 10 network isn’t doing it

Ah, I am watching on BTN+.

 

[SRATH]

Byers finally

 

[Karl_Havok]

AF with another head inside single for a TD. 7-2 final for Alex. Buell looked a lot bigger and slowed down AF a little.

 

[GregPickel]

165 pounds: Alex Facundo, PSU vs. Stoney Buell, Purdue

First period
Wrestlers are feeling each other out in neutral for much of the first 90 seconds. Facundo takes the first shot, a single, but can't finish it and they break apart and remain neutral. Buell now shoots on a double that Facundo fends off and they're still standing with 39 seconds left in the first. Facundo now shoots on a single that he converts to a double and finishes for a 2-0 lead late in the first period. That's how it ends.

Second period
Facundo is down. he gets out in about 15 seconds for a 3-0 lead. Facundo now drops in on a great single and finishes it quickly to sell his lead to 5-0 as he starts a ride. Buell is now flattened out. Buell escapes to 5-1. Facundo back in on a shot, but a stalemate ends that. They end the second period in neutral. Facundo is up 5-0.

Third period
Buell takes bottom. He's out pretty quickly to 5-2.Facundo drops in on a single on the edge Buell is trying to fend it off and they go off the edge before the takedown is awarded. Facundo shoots but Buell skips away. There's a shot and takedown for Facundo. The Boilermaker was game today but not enough overtake Facundo, who wins by decision, 7-2.

Facundo d. Buell, 7-2.

 

[RS17]

Facundo in first was really feeling things out. He got in the attack later but needs better angles. He got caught underneath on shots and stalemated too many times.

 

[Spinpsu]

AF gotta get the major there. For real those +1s are huge. We need to make a statement in the Big Ten Tournament !!!!

 

[GregPickel]

And now, we wait. And wait. And wait some more. Lol.

Apologies for this being a dumb question but I assume they are only doing one round of wrestlebacks in this session. Does anyone know for sure?

 

[cb1994]

Solid but not altogether impressive from Facundo. Needs to do more the next 2 rounds to keep pushing through.

 

[pabison]

So now we’re done until the next session? Steen will be the only one in wrestlbacks, right?

 

[gimb14]

Nah. Doesn't matter this year. If this were gonna be close it would be huge

 

[gimb14]

One more time through the brackets. All the 1 and 2 seeds haven't wrestled yet.

 

[GregPickel]

No. The quarterfinals are in this session, too. So, we're waiting for those, but we're still in 174 first round, so it'll be a bit until we get to 125 QFs. Then, after those, we'll have a round of wrestlebacks.

I thought it was one wrestlebacks and one more championship. Then session 2 would be wrestlebacks, championship, wrestlebacks

 

[gimb14]

Do they do wrestlebacks first or 2 mats for them and 2 for championship?

 

[NormanChad]

Big 10 network isn’t doing it

I do. Not the point. They have had zero coverage of some matches. Just silly.
