SECOND PERIOD: Smith chooses down to start the second period. Smith escapes, giving up just 10 seconds of riding time, and these two are back to their feet. No takedowns, and we're on to the third.
THIRD PERIOD: Labriola chooses down to start the third, and he picks up two points on a reversal. Escape Smith, and it's 3-2 with Labriola in the lead. Riding time is not a factor. Thirty seconds to go. Scramble city! Takedown Labriola! The Cornhusker becomes yet another finalist for Nberaska, as he takes this match 4-2.

I predicted at the start of the season that Labriola would win a national championship. But Robb seems a better pick. Labriola has been a lot more conservative this year. He is still undefeated but quite a few 1-2 point wins.
Cronin 2 seed will wrestle #1 seed as will Hardy #3 seed. Both opponents from Iowa. Robb is #1 seed and will wrestle #2 seed. Labriola will go against #1 seed. Just in:
SECOND PERIOD: Allred chooses down to start the second period, and he's on the board first with an escape. Allred, like Max Dean on the mat next to him, scores a short time takedown in the second, but Illinois throws the challenge brick.
THIRD PERIOD: Braunagel ties it up, 3-3, and this one is closer than expected. Allred holds on though, and he takes the win 4-3.

Huskers are 3rd in the team competition. Good showing so far.

Very strong showing for Nebraska! Brock Hardy is wrestling great and only lost by 2 points against Woods in Iowa City this year. Labriola needs to come out swinging and score first.
Hoping Cronin puts up a better battle against Spencer Lee than he did in their dual match. Hardy has been impressive since Christmas. Robb more so. Allred is coming on. Labriola needs to turn it on.
Pinto looks like Labriola at the same stage of their careers. Exciting matches! Would have been nice to have had Lovett this year.

Big Ten Wrestling Championships 2023 Brackets, Results - FloWrestling
The 2023 Big Ten Wrestling Championships are underway in Ann Arbor, Michigan as some of the best wrestlers in the country compete for Big Ten Titles.
Losing by 5 seems like a great accomplishment. Believe Lee had won 20-2 and 17-0 in the qtrs and semis.
Brock not getting the takedown after getting that single leg sums up the difference between Nebraska wrestling and penn state or iowa wrestling. Technically goid but just dont have the fortitude for that extra.
