Our coaches only had to throw one brick, & it went our way. Still think Max gave up 2 back points. Keck had 2 against Hidley. Him & Ok St's Perry wrestle with their backs to the outer edge. Loved their shots of the Hidley's mother having 2 sons going at the same time. Kerk potential title material next year. Can't believe Wick couldn't get into State but Cal Poly accepted him. Poly 2nd highest academic rating in the west after Stanford. Will Casey get job offers? Does anybody have any alcohol left for tomorrow? Spring f-ball coming soon. I'm Niteowlgt from the previous board. Have been around since the late 60's. Iowa fans at least have their pro sports teams to fall back on. Whoops, they don;t have any. Any momentum left for sex this eve. Ha.
2022 NCAA Tournament, Session 6 Thread

I particularly enjoy the part where he talked about CStar’s tough B1G tournament (even though AB was the guy with the heartbreak at B1Gs). I think you can make it entertaining without Cormier. I thought he was hackish. While, I don’t believe he’s anti-PSU, I just think he’s bad. Thought the guys on Matcast were solid… But I know a little about broadcasting and much, much less about wrestling. By the way, I still dislike Gibbons…
Have you thought about instituting a drinking rule pertaining to "go ahead and..."? Because we/ve grown to love it.
Oh I noticed. That wasn’t nice.
I did. One part of me thought dick, other part of me thought Brooks is so good he just didn't feel like getting flipped. Either way, he got rag dolled the whole match and the video's out there for him to watch the rest of his life.
@Tom McAndrew @GregPickel Who was OW?
I know last night was a Gable Steveson love-fest. But with AB besting an Olympic Bronze Medalist who beat him at B10s, I think AB was more deserving.

Cael Sanderson shapes great talent into exceptional men. By the way, they also win national championships!
Imagine how good Haines becomes working out with Carr everyday!
Sanderson was NWCA Tournament Coach of the Year.
Sorry, I can't seem to find that answer anywhere. It's a guarantee that it was Steveson though. I'll try to find it.
I checked the Gophers site. Gable was indeed the OW. By the way, Sanderson was the COTY.

Wow. Carter was wrestling with a broken hand since January. Needs surgery. That’s heart.
I also know Kerk is pretty banged up and RBY has a thumb issue for sure. The endurance of all of these guys is pretty amazing. Hard to find more dedicated athletes. It’s more than a sport. It’s a lifestyle!

8 of the top 14 from the B1G. Now that’s a dominant league!
Books smiling while he tosses AM..........this is FUN.
And the look of resignation on AM’s face, knows he’s getting his a$$ kicked and really can’t do much about it.
What is the hate and arrogance of Iowa fans? The tweets about PSU and these guys are insane.
I just woke up…. I was actually playing that game all night while I watched the matches again and revelled in our domination. Haha. Well played, good sir.
Not the best format but here is the top two teams score since 2011 and the margin of victory. Turns out this tied for the second largest margin of victory. Score wise it looks like we cruised.....it didn't feel like it.

I thought our guys were more aggressive going after bonus this year, but the actual results proved me wrong.
Hopefully next year we clean up some of the points we left on the table this year.
Bo scored 27 in 2019, Nolf had 26 and Cassar 24..........insane.

I'm not sure I'm reading your table correctly. But it looks like in 22 the wrestlers listed scored 9.5 more points than last year. (I ignored 197 because the wrestlers were different...Beard vs Dean).
Anyway, that looks more aggressive to me.
Top four scored 2.5 more combined so they did improve a bit......and I am probably being too picky. Kerk did way better, given this starting point last year, this isn't surprising. That said, Kerk continues to improve. I Given the team tracks everything, I am sure none of this is lost on them.
As @Tom McAndrew said, last night was a Steveson lovefest. Several wrestlers scored more points, had tougher draws and more impressive championship matches. That being said, Steveson has been an extraordinary heavyweight wrestler for the past two seasons. I just don't think he deserved MOW for this tournament.
If Kerk stays on the weights and gets on the Cassar calorie program he will be National Champion next season. Just not big enough against the best. He gave Gable a great match. Just couldn’t finish shots.
Byers hopefully wasn't trying to resurrect the previously failed "funtastic-five" this year. Jeff is great but they aren't all home runs.
