149: #12 Young (Maryland) over #5 Buesgens (NC St.), 11-4

 

[GregPickel]

No. 12 Carter Young of Maryland takes out Koy Buesgens of NC State 11-4 in an upset at 149. Young gets Lamer.

 

[WEAREPSU_LI]

double digits Young v Lamer in the quarters is cool.

 

[Misalorales]

I don't know if Nagao would have fared better, but he was a lot easier to like.

I wanted a healthy Nagao vs Hardy more than most any other matches this year. The scrambles would've been awesome

 

[Efejle]

DT brick happy

 

[RBOld]

This Evans/Swiderski match won't be over until breakfast

 

[mcpat]

Utah Valley coach challenging a call they just reviewed on video isn’t the smartest use of a brick

 

[SkiSkiSki]

A redshirt next year is in order just to improve the emtional maturity.

Not sure being a year older is going to do that for him. Getting older did nothing for Ford Focus' maturity. Davis is in a room full of good role models (I believe) and it hasn't sunk in yet.

 

[rigi19040]

He got busted for underage drinking by police in the summer

And then tried to run. Got caught after he ran out of gas.

I think Nagao could hammer him on the mat mutch like Vega does to Hardy.

 

[GregPickel]

Swiderski up 3-0 on Evans in the first for the right to face SVN.

This is a long match (that the Cowboy leads 6-1.)

 

[zzs006]

SVN has a pretty nice draw now with Buesgens and Gaj losing

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Evans must have had a head blow; not sure if he was out or not. The amount of time they stopped the match could only be for concussion protocol.

 

[tzinger]

Blaze will redshirt and Ono will step in.

I will believe Ono wrestles for us when it actually happens.

 

[GregPickel]

No 3 Wasilewski survivrs No. 14 Rathjen of UNI in sudden victory 8-5.

Time for Duke-Mechler.

 

[Misalorales]

I think Nagao could hammer him on the mat mutch like Vega does to Hardy.

I really wish we got to see it. The way he hung with RBY and rode him, even if it was odd to ride out til he lost, was impressive.

 

[LB99]

I don't know if Nagao would have fared better, but he was a lot easier to like.

That’s unnecessary.

 

[Misalorales]

Jaxon Joy is long, funky, and good on top. Hmm. Saturday night will be a great match

 

[Cali_Nittany1]

Feel bad for Rathjen. In deep twice and loses in OT.

 

[RBOld]

Rathjen just got robbed, Wasilewski onto the quarters after he should have been hit with another stall in OT. It's been called stalling all year but the ref wouldn't give it.

 

[Coastal2]

Can the NCAAs stop overseeding the ACC.

A wrestler should only be allowed to wrestle one open and one invitational for record. Stop with the inflated ACC records by hitting third string SoCon guys at opens.

 

[ElDuce]

Duke takedown in 5 seconds

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Duke working for a 1st period TF at the rate he's going

 

[Kingslayer]

Feel bad for Rathjen. In deep twice and loses in OT.

Not sure why they stopped the action and didn’t give him that takedown

 

[ElDuce]

Duke is on a mission. Leveled up

 

[PSUcup]

Dear Lord PJ

 

[zzs006]

Blaze will redshirt and Ono will step in.

I just don’t see Blaze redshirting next year. The following year makes more sense to me because of the Olympics. You very well might be right but I don’t see it

 

[Jim from Spicewood]

Duke is Nolfing the kid

 

[SlipperyPete]

157 R16 - #1 PJ Duke vs. #17 Luke Melcher (WIS)

PJ immediately hits another TD, 12-3. Out of bounds & restart. Melcher is still down. PJ goes optional, escape Melcher, 12-4. PJ shoots & gets a leg. He shelves it, then trips Melcher to the mat for another TD, 15-4. Out of bounds & restart. Melcher is still down. PJ goes optional, escape Melcher, 15-5. PJ shoots & hits another quick TD, 18-5. PJ has a cradle locked up & he gets the FALL!!!

PJ Duke FALL Luke Melcher (1:38)

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Duke with the 1st period pin, @ 2:38!!!!!

 

[BVSt.Paul]

My oh my!

 

[zzs006]

Wow PJ ******* Duke. What a beast

 

[Cali_Nittany1]

Duke likes to beat up his food before he eats it.

 

[hohmadw1978]

PJ with five takedowns in the first period so far!

 

[Ghost of Tim Riggins]

PJ is on a mission

 

[Sandy2176]

Let’s Get Behind B. Davis he’s very upset and We Need Him to Win his next Match. Let’s Go Fellas

Kick our own wrestlers down like Ohio State does . There's a way to cut without being nasty

I will believe Ono wrestles for us when it actually happens.

Agree

 

[Misalorales]

Duke is absolutely incredible.

 

[johnstownsteel]

PJ pissed Jax is getting all the press. Lol

 

[CentexLion]

Dear Lord PJ

I think Duke broke SlipperyPetes fingers as well

 

[GregPickel]

Shayne Van Ness will get No. 8 Casey Sweiderski of Oklahoma State in his 149-pound quarterfinal tomorrow morning. The Cowboy beat former Penn State wrestler David Evans 14-4 in round 2.
