Pics of guys warming up? Get ready for another barrage of commercials.

Anyone else lose the Matcast? I’m just getting the split screen and matcast isn’t an option below.

 

[PSU_Lions_84]

You need to watch ESPN+ MatCast

Not giving E$PIN any more of my money than I have to.

I tried to sign-up yesterday. After I made an account, clicked continue and just got a continuous yellow circle spinning forever.

 

[PSU_Lions_84]

Haines, 3-0 with 30 secs in 1st

 

[Karl_Havok]

Levi is wrestling lights out. Gets the TD and then works for the NF and gets 3. Up 6-0 in the first.

 

[PSU_Lions_84]

Haines, 3-0 with 30 secs in 1st

3 NF pts, Start of 2nd.

 

[Hannibal]

Pin State!

 

[ElDuce]

Kasak with the PIN!!!!

 

[Psuproud]

**** loads of bonus

 

[WalnutCreekLion]

Boom!

 

[PSU_Lions_84]

3 NF pts, Start of 2nd.

7-0, 1:30 in 2nd

 

[TwoKidsOneWifeAllPSU]

With Kasak pin and Haines rolling…today has been good besides Davis losing

 

[Karl_Havok]

Levi gets his hips back when guys shoot like Carter and AB. Those are the only two guys on the team that I think do as good of a job at sprawling and really getting their hips back and applying pressure. It's so hard to score on a shot against Levi.

 

[PSU_Lions_84]

7-0, start of 3rd.

 

[ElDuce]

Shapiro looks like he got knocked out on the mat

 

[GregPickel]

Didn't even have time for a Kasak PBP. He wins by fall in :36.

 

[hohmadw1978]

Haines wrestling well!

 

[Psuproud]

Kasak vs Arrington in Consi round 3

 

[TwoKidsOneWifeAllPSU]

Haines up 7-0 over Robb with :50

 

[BigBankFrank]

I don't see that happening next season, with Bartlett likely to return.

I agree. I see Kasak taking his redshirt unless Bartlett or Van Ness get injured.

 

[TwoKidsOneWifeAllPSU]

Haines wrestling well!

Yes, he pinned the Cornell kid after a scramble

 

[PSU_Lions_84]

Stall warnings on aggressive wrestlers continue to mystify me. Tag the turtles, refs.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

157: Championship Quarters:
#1 seed Levi Haines vs. #8 seed Peyton Robb (Nebraska) -- I'll use PR

Per 1
Haines in on a head inside single, they scramble, Robb reaches over the shoulders, they keep scrambling, PR with a whizzer, but Haines trips him down on the edge for the TD, 3-0. He throws in a boot. Haines working an arm bar, and tilts him and gets swipes. Robb rolls over, so it's 3 NF. 6-0. End. RT @ 1:11 for Haines

Per 2
Haines takes bottom. He works up, and after a bit is out, 7-0. RT down to 48 sec for Haines. PR in on a single, Haines sprawls, and the period ends. End. RT @ 48 sec for Haines

Per 3
PR takes bottom. Blood time for PR. Haines gets a good ride going, and takes RT well over 1 min. Haines nearly pulls PR back to his back, nothing. PR gets to his feet, tripped back down, and OOB with 1:01 left. Haines nearly tilts on the restart, nothing. RT goes over 2 min and is locked. PR to his feet, and a stall warning no Haines as they go OOB with 27 sec left. PR sits out, Haines stays with him, and eventually flattens him. End. With 2:48 in RT, it's an 8-0 MAJ for Levi Haines

 

[ElDuce]

Franek losses to Teemer 5-2

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Tom can you confirm that Nagao got the neutral NF points? People said in the arena that after the overturn, Cael challenged and said that neutral NF points could've been awarded during the sequence and that is why the suit guy came out. Either way, I don't care, I just have never seen this before.

Edit: Seems like since he had the leg of Nagao, no takedown but had his back exposed for the requisite time and got the 3.

Without talking with the refs, I can't know for sure.

Track shows 3 for Nagao for a TD

 

[Pennstater55]

As something of a novice, how can someone who's riding get hit with a stall? Isn't it their job to accrue riding time and the onus should be on the guy on the bottom to get out?

 

[Karl_Havok]

Levi has two TF and a major so far. He is the OW in my opinion until I see what AB does in his match. I think right now it's between Levi and AB for OW through the QF.

 

[psufan07]

I don’t love the Andonian matchup

I like Robb. Have always been impressed with his sportsmanship.

then stop complaining.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Ouch, Meyer goes into concussion protocol. That should cause all the quarter matches (mats 3 thru 6) to be delayed (unless ESPN tells them otherwise).

It's been explained to me the top wrestler needs to continue to develop his position - to try for a pin or at least back points. That said, bottom wrestlers turtle out far too often imho - hard to move an immobile mass.

 

[Psuproud]

I agree. I see Kasak taking his redshirt unless Bartlett or Ness get injured.

Beau has yet to confirm he is coming back and there has been a lot of talk that he may be done.

 

[PSUFANinVA]

If someone finds video of the Kasak pin, please post. I missed it because it happened so fast and Levi was on another mat.

 

[Karl_Havok]

Didn't even have time for a Kasak PBP. He wins by fall in :36.

No wonder I completely missed it. I will say it again, but Kasak reminds me of Andrew Alton.

you mean for PSU right? Because KOT has been OW, though need to see what he does in QF

Track shows 3 for Nagao for a TD

You could hear the ref conversation on the espn + mat 8 feed. They awarded a td for neutral danger. ASU coach was freaking out because no neutral danger warning was given because it was initially ruled a takedown. After multiple calls to Ontario and a discussion with another guy who came over they let the 3 stand.
