Brutal

 

[Pennstater55]

We all knew Beau's complete lack of offense would catch up eventually.

 

[BobPSU92]

Jesus. Attack for f*ck’s sake.

 

[ElDuce]

Damn Beau....

 

[LifeLongLion]

I really won't miss BB. This lack of offense is maddening.

 

[Sloepoke20]

Bartlett with another example of what happens when you don’t try to score.

 

[Psuproud]

3 ******* seconds

 

[ElDuce]

SVN lets go!

 

[LionsAndBears]

Nobody frustrates me more than BB. He's a Penn Stater that wrestles like a Hawkeye.

 

[razpsu]

Well he never changed and it cost him. Feel bad for him but you have to wrestle.

 

[Lionlaw]

I don’t understand the choice not to go with the traditional top position on the last restart.

 

[GregPickel]

History is made:

Penn State wrestling becomes just the second team in NCAA history to have 10 All-Americans

141 Semifinal: #2 seed Beau Bartlett vs. #3 seed Jesse Mendez (Ohio St.)

I'll use JM for Mendez

A repeat of last year's Championship match

Per 1
Beau whist an early shot but can't quite get behind, so nothing. Stoppage with 1:37 left -- it appears JM got an eye poke. JM sort of shoots, blocked. Beau working underhooks, stalemate with 53 sec left. Ear-to-ear with 30 sec left. End

Per 2
Beau takes bottom. Beau works up, then to his feet, and he's out in 7 sec, 1-0. JM in on a leg for a bit but nothing. JM shoots from way out, blocked. Beau working underhooks again, and a stalemate with 25 sec left. End. RT @ 7 sec for JM

Per 3
JM takes bottom. JM works up, and he's out in 7 sec, 1-1. 1 min left, and no shots this period. Beau shoots, blocked. JM shoots off an underhook, Beau with a whizzer, Beau to a split, they scramble, and the buzzer sounds. Ohio State throws a brick. In real time, I don't think JM got a TD, though I thought he got pretty close. Call is confirmed.

SV-1
Beau hasn't been close to a TD since the 1st period. He needs to change that dynamic. Beau shoots, blocked. Under 1 left. JM shoots, nothing. OOB with 34 sec left. Blood time for JM. Stoppage with 16 sec left as JM's headgear comes undone. They need new headgear, which takes some time to get adjusted. Beau shoots, nothing. End

TB-1
JM takes bottom. Optional start by Beau, but he works him OOB with 25 sec left. JM with a roll, to his feet, lifted, and OOB with 16 sec left. Optional start by Beau, JM to his feet, hits a roll as they go OOB with 8 sec left. Optional start by Beau, JM with a roll, and he gets out with 3 sec left, 1-2

TB-2
Beau takes bottom. Beau to his feet, lifted, returned,d to his feet, and OOB with 23 sec left. Beau to his feet, and OOB with 9 sec left. Beau has to get out within 6 sec. Beau with a roll, but JM holds on to the leg. End. JM wins 2-1

Bartlett will wrestle in the Consolations

I really won't miss BB. This lack of offense is maddening.

He is a good but not great wrestler. Boring as hell too

 

[NoSoup4U]

Kasak. Just has no energy. Is he sick? Looks like he’s just operating in a fog

 

[Whisker man]

Mesenbrink is in the hole + 1 on Mat 3

Nobody frustrates me more than BB. He's a Penn Stater that wrestles like a Hawkeye.

Beau is good. Has beautiful shots. Just isnt offensive minded. Has cost him more than once. Hope he takes 3rd

 

[NormanChad]

Bartlett with another example of what happens when you don’t try to score.

Yes indeed. A guy that will go down as a good PSU wrestler, but could never get it done on the biggest stage.

 

[ElDuce]

Kasak. Just has no energy. Is he sick? Looks like he’s just operating in a fog

I noticed his head gear was different this match

 

[Psuproud]

Ridge has come to wrestle

 

[Gregm0415]

Damn is lovett that much better, insane start

 

[ElDuce]

Wow.....

 

[Psuproud]

I noticed his head gear was different this match

He was having a problem with his head gear in an earlier match

 

[LifeLongLion]

SVN getting manhandled.

 

[manatree]

I really won't miss BB. This lack of offense is maddening.

I’m sorry that a three time All-American sucks so much.

 

[cb1994]

I picked ridge to win it all, but this is just sad from SVN. oh well maybe he’ll learn.

 

[BlueAndWhite86]

This is ugly

 

[Psuproud]

******* *** beating

 

[ptomaselli]

Lovett is putting it on SVN. He may need a Hahn type move.

 

[Lion4ever]

I picked ridge to win it all, but this is just sad from SVN. oh well maybe he’ll learn.

SVN is another good …but not great one

 

[Lionz_den]

Dang, we might have 10 AA and only 1 or 2 finalists.

 

[psu0408]

SVN hasn’t quit yet

 

[Psuproud]

SVN was not ready for the start of that match is what killed him

 

[Lion4ever]

Dang, we might have 10 AA and only 1 or 2 finalists.

Very good team…but not as many great ones on it

 

[Tom McAndrew]

149 Semifinal: #3 seed Shayne Van Ness vs. #2 seed Ridge Lovett (Nebraska)

I'll use RL for Lovett

Time for SVN to beat Lovett

Per 1
RL slips behind, lifts SVN, and gets the TD, 0-3. RL throws in a boot, and they are OOB with 2:30 left. Terrible start for SVN. RL throws in a boot and tilts SVN -- 3 NF makes it 0-6. SVN to his feet, lifted, and returned. SVN throws in a boot. RL tilts him but not into criteria so no NF. Stalemate with 49 sec left. SVN sort of sits out, driven forward by RL, and RL throws in a boot and tilts SVN but no swipes. RL locks a cradle and gets 4 NF before SVN gets to his belly. End. RT @ 2:47 for RL

Per 2
RL takes bottom. RL to his feet, and SVN cuts him, 0-11. SVN reaches, nothing. SVN in on a single to a double for a TD, 3-11, and OOB with 1:25 left. RL up quickly, and cut, 3-12. SVN shoots, they scramble, and RL holds onto a leg so no TD, and finally a TD, 6-12. Stoppage for ??. SVN starts him in neutral so 6-13. SVN shoots, blocked. End RT @ 2:11 for RL

Per 3
SVN takes neutral. SVN shoots a double, blocked. SVN shoots but RL skips away. Stall warning on RL. Stalemate with 1:20 left. SVN shoots, and reshoots, nothing. Stall warning on RL makes it 7-13. SVN in on a shot, and a stalemate with 38 sec left. RT is locked for RL. Stall call on RL makes it 8-13. End. With 2:11 in RT, it's a 8-14 DEC for Ridge Lovett.

Van Ness will wrestle in the Consolation Semis

Just a terrible start of the match for SVN and he couldn't recover. Plus, Lovett is good, and his length gives SVN some troubles.

 

[NormanChad]

SVN was not ready for the start of that match is what killed him

How the hell can that happen in the Semis?

 

[ElDuce]

Lovett is a SR.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

A bit of a break for PSUers, as Kasak already wrestled his match.

 

[Karl_Havok]

Lovett came out like he wanted to maul someone to death. That was impressive.

 

[Nittering Nabob]

How the hell can that happen in the Semis?

He wrestled like he got injured in the previous match.

 

[WVilleLion23]

Current team scores?
