After a dominating performance in the Big 10's, I'm wondering if anyone can come close to Iowa at Nationals. First some general comments (OK, this is lengthy, but not much is posted on the wrestling site otherwise): I don't think there is anyone outside the B1G that can come close to matching...

And if we beat Illinois - and that same Illinois team loses at Ohio State tomorrow night, we will actually be playing to be the #4 seed - remarkable.

If you want to think that way, fine. I think Iowa wins in Champaign Sunday. And if Illinois loses at Ohio State tomorrow night - obviously a distinct possibility - Iowa will be playing Sunday night for a chance to be the #4 seed in the BTT, regardless of what else happens. THAT would be one...

I'm afraid Pemsl is in trouble health-wise. I really wonder if he will have to call it a season - and maybe even a career. And even though Kriener did return last night, he hyper-extended his knee - NOT something we need going into post-season play. I wouldn't be shocked if both were kept in...

I have to agree with you. But unlike previous seasons, when they hit a wall they NEVER recovered from at some point (usually by mid-February), in this case, it just seems to be about the amount of time between games. I have no idea how they expect to do anything in the post-season, when games...

You are not wrong.

This is their second big win after taking down Oklahoma State a couple of weeks ago. They had also just lost a close match to ISU in their last meet. They look like they have 2 or 3 guys who could make some serious noise in the NCAA tournament.

The final was 20-18. The Panthers got a pin at 125 and a win from a Sr. at 197 who hadn't won all year. .

I think the reason for that was on display last night. First you have a Luka Garza, whose off-season conditioning and care of his body means he is still bringing the same game now he has brought all season. As much as he gets banged around, that is amazing - but it is keeping us really...

Correct. But I dare say that both losses (Nebraska and DePaul) serve as no small reason why we are where we are near the top of the B1G standings. After the DePaul loss, we went to a quasi-four guard line-up with only Garza for beef. It has served us well except when we've been without C.J...

Not quite. They still aren't saying much about it (good ol' HIPAA laws), but Pemsl was struggling with a back issue early in the season. I've had those, and while they can go away (though not always - see Jess Settles), they SO limit how hard you can play. But between him getting healthy and...

All the tools??? Are you serious? I'm not even sure what tools he does have. The NBA requires consistency - he has none, as the last three games have shown. The NBA requires defense - it didn't take draft stock experts to tell him that his defense did (and still does) need a ton of work...

Maybe not, but we need to keep fighting for every win we can. Not saying this would happen but, even now, there is very little separating the current 3 seed (Iowa) from the current 12 seed (Indiana). As competitive as this league is this year, a double bye would be huge in so many ways.

I don't know if Kemerer can keep this up through the end of the season (which means he'd have to beat Mark Hall two more times) but if he did, not only should he be the comeback wrestler of the year (if there is such an award), but even on a team that already has Spencer Lee, doing what he has...

Agree - both my brother and I were convinced it was an Achilles. That would have been beyond devastating.

Jordan, like Bird before him, understood two things that, on the face of it, would not seem to go together. He knew he was the face not only of the NBA, but bluntly of all professional sports. And so he always seemed willing to sit down after games with the national play-by-play guys and give...

What troubles me as much as anything about this mess is that it seems no one associated with the university wants to come right out and admit how bad this is and has gotten. EVERYONE is taking a chapter in C.Y.A. - and that includes both Dantonio and Izzo. Because of that, this is only going...

Have you seen the collective Wisconsin response to this incident? While there are a couple of Wisky blogs that have come out and called Davison a dirty player, most of the stuff I've read is responding to the suspension with a reaction like: "YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING!" I have read now three...

If it is what it appears to be, she will be either out or not able to give her pre-injury effort for a good three weeks. But WOW! What a time for Warnock to really get going - she's going to be a GREAT one.

A great win, and the kind every team that wants to get to the Big Dance has to have - a win on a night it seemed little was going right. And it does make me wonder if we just plain ran them and their short bench out of gas. Usually that is obvious if it is happening. It didn't seem obvious...
