That's because O'Connor won a title at a weight filled with NCAA 3-8 finishers.
It's also why Bartlett could shock some people in March 2022.
Imo by March what Beau achieves will not be a shock to anyone especially his opponents. Yes I know he s short! Lol.
Be well . And enjoy the match tonite. Ogunsanya s active w a long reach. Good chance for Beau and staff to experience this style and body type . Ogunsanya s brother making some noise at Columbia as well. Let s Go Beau!!!!!!!!!
Corby made an interesting point today: O'Connor will likely get an artificially low NCAA seed due to poor strength of schedule.
IMO an undefeated O'Connor would've been a top 3 seed along with Carr and Deakin. Now?
Unfortunately any effect is likely to Iowa's benefit:
1. Strong chance his seed drops below Kaleb Young (6-8-5 seed in past 3 NCAAs). Which likely gives Young a marginally better draw.
2. Increases the likelihood of Bearclaw/Lee facing O'Connor in Round 2 or even in Round 1. (This is a low likelihood in any case, but non-zero.)
Something to be aware of as the season progresses.

Chad Red's loss was also a slight surprise. He has shown flashes of his abilities, but isn't consistent .
Hot off the press, Cassiopi just got pinned at Princeton, haven't had a chance to look it up.
Jack del Garbino (who) just rolled Tony Cassioipi for the fall at 2:07. Cass with the quick takedown and trying to lock up his own pin got flipped and decked.
Iowa forums are stunned and in denial. Statements like Cass has to learn how to wrestled with his new body. lol.

Looked to be a little bit of a flukish situation, quite possibly borne of overconfident carelessness on newly-crowned, Under-23 National Champion Cassioppi's part. But give the Princeton wrestler credit; he knew how to quickly take advantage of an unexpected turn of events when it occurred.

Poor coaching by Brands, no seed protection.
If Brands thought seed protection were necessary tonight, he probably would've been a minority of one in Carver-Hawkeye Arena. (Not that it would've stopped him).

All joking aside, Kerk will still have to beat Cass in the dual to possibly push him to the 4 seed at B1Gs.If Brands thought seed protection were necessary, he would've been a minority of one in Carver-Hawkeye Arena. (Not that it would've stopped him).
Barring upsets or injuries, it looks like that could well be true, in which case tonight's loss-by-fall might be seen as a needed wake-up call for Mr. Cassioppi.
True -- but even then Parris could still get the 4 at B10s.
Here's why: PSU-Minny and Iowa-Michigan do not face each other this year. So the regular season matchups will be:
Kerk: Parris, Cass; no Steveson
Parris: Kerk, Steveson; no Cass
Cass: Kerk, Steveson; no Parris
If Kerk beats both, he'll get the 2 -- but it's way too early to tell if Parris or Cass would be the 3. (That would probably come down to non-conference; Parris faces Schultz and Stencel in duals; Cass has a much weaker non-conference schedule so far (though he could face up to 3 of Schultz, Stencel, Elam, and Traxler at Collegiate Duals).

The announcers were saying how Cass told them it was going to be a short night on the mat. Prophetic...
It certainly was short. Maybe a little humility is in oder. Cant imagine a PS wrestler or even the vast majority of wrestlers saying that publicly. He paid the price!
One would think that a veteran wrestler like Cass would know how to use his hips at the party. Gotta keep them low.
Reminder: Matt Lee beat Ramirez 8-5 last week at the Bearcat Open.
I must have glanced over that. That's interesting!! wonder if we will see Matt nat 165 at some point. Wrestling in the room is different in matches.
John Smith appears to be entering 21st century. After 2nd period it almost looked like he was coaching Fix to wrestle for bonus points.
Gopher Sr Jake Bergeland stonewalls Fr star Carter Young 6-4. Just out scrambled then rode him. Young’s only TD was conceded with like 5 secs left.
Note to John Smith. Orange is a great color around Halloween time other than that it works best as a complimentary color, but never works on shoes.
Forgive me not reading ‘notable results’: After as many blood timeouts as takedowns Brayton Lee over Wyatt Sheets 16-9. Sheets gets late TD to avoid being majored. Okst leads MN after 157, 10-6. WWE Steveson co-coaching with Eggum.
At 165 #6 Travis Wittlake makes it look easy vs Shane Sparks’ cousin #21 Andrew, 8-3. Okst up 13-6.
Congrats nice win. Imo as I stated this line up previously that s your best team. Helps us too. Hadlovic at 141. Vito over Disario. Yianni 3-1 over Abas- 2 penalty points. Nice win by Ramirez ! Hmmmm Didn t Matt Lee just wrestle him! Lol kidding. Seriously , nice win. Med fft Fernandes? Any info. Greg D.? But overall nice win. All the best. CB
Arujau at 133 helps us? I'd rather have him at 125 with one-legged Lee.
Also not sure how Yianni at 149 helps us. One less obstacle for Lee but also for Eierman. Guess he pushes Murin down a little but Murin but that's fewer points than pushing Eierman down a spot.
El Jefe, good points . I think if DH goes it helps us there. Kinda a wash w 133,141. But I like Nick at 141. He s taken a leap . RBY yes 133 more loaded but I like our chances. Just my take based a lot on gut feeling. And I guess Blue and White glasses ! We ll see . Lotta variables. Seeding will be key! All the best, Bv
…And that question gets answered by Minnesota’s Steveson with a MD over Okst Surber. That Steveson might be untouchable this year. Final score Okst over MN 23-10.
I'm good with the pro-PSU angle here.
But I suspect we may still need some help pushing down Iowa's points. One part of that I missed -- how Arujau would do vs. DeSanto. As physical as DeSanto is, Arujau would likely need to be a full feed 133 to beat him.
For now. I'm not sure that Yianni will stay there. I think that Yianni/Richard is better than Handlovic/Yianni. I would be interested in learning what Yianni actually weighed for this match. We'll see where he is at CKLV!
Agree that Arujau at 125 would be better for us going against "one-legged Lee". He would be a serious threat to Lee. Arujau is a ton better than he was 2 years ago. Not sure if Lee is any better than he was 2 years ago. Haven't seen him wrestle anyone of substance in that time frame.
