165: Facundo vs. Patrick Kennedy (PK)
Per 1
PK looks active early, but they soon get into collar ties. No real shots thru 1 min, though PK sort of reached just as 1 min was coming up. PK with an overhook. Nothing thru 2 min. PK shoots, nothing. Facundo shoots, nothing, though PK tried a counter, nothing. 30 sec left. End
Per 2
PK takes bottom. PK is out in 8 sec, 0-1. Not much effort to ride or control by Facundo. Facundo tried a duck, nothing. PK working undercooks, and heavy on the head, Facundo is equal to the task. End RT @ 8 sec for Facundo
Per 3
Facundo takes bottom. He works up, and he's out in 13 sec, 1-1. RT not a factor (5 sec for PK). PK with a semishot, nothing. 1 min left. 30 sec left. 10 sec left. End
SV
Facundo shoots from too far out, stuffed. 1:30 left. PK in on a leg, Facundo sits out and locks thru the legs, and a stalemate with 1:06 left. Closest either guy has been to a TD. PK shoots, Facundo tries a counter duck, nothing. Now PK tried to lock a cradle, not good, Facundo is quite a fighter and has a hold on the thigh, and stalemate with 8 sec left. great battle. End
TB-1
PK takes bottom. He's out in 4 sec, 2-1. Facundo unlikely to match that in TB-2

Another disappointment. Not good feelings overall tonight so far. Glad we’ve got the hammers coming up, but damn I expected more from the first 6
well, after 165 it's Iowa 14-9.
up now Carter Starocci vs Nelson Brands. Some BP's here would be nice, Cstar.

Cstar should major brands. That’s not homerism that’s just facts. Stalling from Brands aside, no decent shots through 2 periods simply isn’t acceptable for him.
174: Starocci vs. Nelson Brands (NB)
Per 1
Nothing thru 1 min. CStar shoots a low single but NB kicks out. NB reaches, nothing. Nothing thru 2 min. CSar with a head inside single, blocked. 30 sec left. CStar with a shot, blocked. Brands doing nothing offensively. End
Per 2
CStar takes bottom. He's to his feet, returned, up again, down again and then out in 19 sec, 1-0. CStar reaches, blocked. NB still doing nothing offensively. CStar shoots, blocked. CStar reaches for a leg, blocked, and stall warning on NB.
Per 3
NB takes bottom. CStar with a good ride. RT goes over 1 min. NB to his feet, but they are OOB with 33 sec left. Brands is out quickly on the whistle, RT @ 1:12. It's 1-1, with 15 sec left. NB shoots, CStar sprawls. End. With 1:12 in RT, it's a 2-1 DEC for CStar.

I almost want this to come down to Kerk / Cass so we can see someone committed to making stuff happened not named RBY.
I'm surprised you didn't fall asleep during that one...
Besides RBY, we are Sleep Walking through this match.
Brands is such a clown. Tries to do nothing the entire match and then has the balls to taunt CStar. What an idiot!
These announcers seem to have an underlying giddiness every time Iowa does anything reasonably good. Seriously he called out Starocci for stalling at the end?
Iowa wrestling = the most boring wrestling on the planet. They came to penn st to not score points n hope to slow it down to a snails pace. It's awful!
not much energy from the crowd. @ BJC, full house, who honor the Rose Bowl-winning football team at intermission. Swing matches going Iowa's way. Low-scoring bouts. Lots of Iowa style (read, hand fighting, push-pull, club) going on. Young Lions still learning who they are. A few starters missing from both sides. But all in all, so far entertaining. Go Lions!
184: Aaron Brooks (AB) vs. Drake Rhodes (DR)
Per 1
AB in on a leg quickly and gets the TD, 2-0. DR out quickly, 2-1. Brooks with another quick TD, 4-1. DR to his feet and cut, 4-2. Brooks with an ankle pick for TD, 6-2. On the edge, and OOB with 1:42 left. LOL. AB has more TDs in this period than Iowa has all night. DR is a backup 174 lbr, so he's giving up a lot of weight to AB. 1 in left. AB gets a tilt and is getting swipes. 4 NF, 10-2. End. RT @ 2:19 for AB
Per 2
DR takes bottom. He's up quickly and AB cuts hi, 10-3. DR shoots, AB counters and gets a TD, 12-3. He cuts DR, 12-4. AB with another quick TD, 14-4. He tried to get a cradle but couldn't. 1 min left. AB cuts him, 14-5. Stall warning on DR. AB spins behind for the TD, 16-4, and he cuts DR, 16-6. AB has a single, and has DR dancing, and gets the TD, 18-6. End. RT @ 3:27 for AB, so it's locked.
Per 3
AB goes neutral. He gets behind, lifts and gets the TD, 20-6. Then he cuts him, 20-7. AB with a single and gets the TD, 22-7, and that's a TF @ 5:42

If the pin mattered confident he would’ve gotten it there. But as is, at least he attacked. Hate this coming down to these two matches. But pumped to see how they react.
honestly if I was an Iowa wrestling fan I'd give up the sport and start watching soccer, where it's so boring the clock never stops running and add more time at the end. Nil-nil.
197: Max Dean vs. Jacob Warner (JW)
Per 1
JW reaches, nothing. JW reaches for an ankle again, nothing. Dean nearly had a head inside single, but nothing. 1:30 left. 30 sec left. End
Per 2
Seems to be stoppage for blood for Warner. He's getting a head wrap. Dean takes bottom. He works to his base returned, back up, returned, and they are OOB with 1:41 left. Dean works to his feet but they go OOB with 1:22 left. Dean with a roll and nearly a reversal but it's just an esc, 1-0. RT @ 46 for JW. Lots of head fighting, but no shots. End RT @ 46 sec for JW
Per 3
JW takes bottom. JW nearly away but Dean maintained control (dropped to the leg after JW turned in). Now he flattens JW. RT now going in Dean's favor. Stall warning on JW as he's doing nothing on bottom. Stoppage for PD with 49 sec left. JW active but they go OOB with 38 sec left. JW sits out, Dean stay with him. RT goes over 1 min for Dean. Dean throws in a boot. End. With RT, it's a 2-0 DEC with a rideout. 1:14 in RT for Dean
