Not gonna lie...that whole sequence with Gilman getting thrown was awesome

 

[HawkPrdatr40]

Not gonna lie...that whole sequence with Gilman getting thrown was awesome

IMO a a brought on by the little weak *** tactics of Waters during the match.

 

[spliff45]

Ugh...Dwieza is clearly outclassed by Mays

 

[HawkPrdatr40]

If Sorenson can't pull this out this dual now got very real for Iowa.

 

[HawkPrdatr40]

Sorenson lost great match though Iowa trails 9-3

 

[spliff45]

I think Missouri's going to win

 

[joker]

Any sort of major or pin is going to be needed to win, or go to all the tie breakers.

I'm not impressed with Iowa at all. In fact I watched the Minny match, the PSU match and so far today and I wonder how this Iowa team is ranked #1

 

[spliff45]

Mizzou is just flat out better

 

[joker]

Iowa wrestlers used to be "The Punks".
I mean that in a good way. They use to wrestle to the final whistle and were ALWAYS aggressive and looking to score. Now, not so much.

 

[HawkeyeWalker]

Evans match is a must win. Gonna need an upset as well.

 

[spliff45]

Evans match is a must win. Gonna need an upset as well.

Hopefully Burak can keep his match with Cox to a decision

 

[HawkeyeWalker]

Meyer got screwed. Woulda been huge win. Damn.

 

[spliff45]

****...it's over. Iowa with it's first loss of the season.

 

[goods10]

Brands' strategy for this match is **** poor. There is no aggressiveness being shown. Missouri is mocking this team and crowd

I'd be mocking them too

Gable is probably sitting in the stands disgusted with this performance. No way Iowa finishes top 3 at NCAA's for total points.
