Well that's, that. Rivera had no choice but to push the action and got reckless after the ref decided to inject himself.

Stall call cost him...made him take too many chances
And Yet.......Fix backed up and didnt get hit with 1 stall call

Ref sucked. 2 stall calls were ridiculous but Lee was just bigger and better, much more aggressive and stronger.
Cmon. He didn’t work up after the first takedown for the first stall and Lee out worked him the entire match.
Oh man Rivera. I think that ridiculous stalling call got him out of his groove. Hats off to Nick Lee he wrestled a great match
I never even heard the first stall call, did u? ..... seabass looked in control up 2-1.. I look away from screen for one second and it became 2-2?? Felt like that changed the momentum...
I have zero idea what Rivera’s game plan was in that match. He stalled the entire match outside of 2-3 shots. Lee deserved to win. Don’t understand it at all. He deserved the stall. He wasn’t doing anything but pushing Lee away. We would be calling for same thing if it was our guy.
Espn3 has single mat view or all 6 ..you can choose which single mat you wanna watch
Rewind it... gibbons said seabass could go 149 if he wanted (his words)
BS stall call cmon this is ncaa semis let them wrestle. If you’re going to call stalling on that then fix should’ve had 3. That said Lee is a beast, ext hard to wrestle. Always coming never gets tired
I think he called him being on leg for 5 seconds
He did. I thought lee was getting ready to Reverse or escape and he blew the whistle. I was like wtf?? Then realized he had to stop it for being on ankle too long.
Lol he was a National semi finalist
I know. He was the better wrestler in that match imo. Just size he couldn’t overcome. I’m saying if he wants a natty it’s not 41
Maybe Rivera decides in offseason he is more comfortable at 133 and him and Sammy switch weights....would work out nicely
The top 3 at 141 are at a level above everyone else.
Rivera is smaller, but he is big enough for 141.
A whole season of conditioning is what he needs to face Lee

I guess he was “way too small” to be better than all but 2 wrestlers at 141 this year. And I am not sure he would win 133 with Fix there.
You think Rivera was the better wrestler or Lee? No way Rivera was the better wrestler if that’s what you mean. I hate Penn St but Lee outwrestled him and was much more active.
I’m not saying he’s too small but he needed a higher volume of offense. It was almost like he overthought the game plan.
Rivera finished 6th as a freshman, 3rd as a sophomore
lets hope we see him do what Ashnault did and complete the trip with a championship as a senior
