Thanks for the updates Pin. Hawks are going to have to wrestle back tough in consolations and try and score some bonus pts if they want a shot at the title.

 

[weezer]

Those last two hurt pretty bad. Not many bonus pts... Really appreciate the updates Pin!

 

[spliff45]

I still can not believe DSJ lost. That was a momentum killer.

 

[weezer]

Aggressive attacking style of wrestling will always beat that counter style that he wrestles.

 

[TChawk]

thats 4 in finals folks

Yeah with one of our #1 seeds ******* away his match with not wanting to take any shots..

The big problem Iowa has had lately is they don't want to wrestle offensively, alot of defensive crap where they are not scoring alot of points at all. same thing today in the finals, was nice to get 4 into the finals, but it was close wins (minus the pin by McD on a defensive move). Iowa used to be the team that went out and pushed the tempo scoring alot of points, but that seems to be PSU taking over that mantle and Iowa has gone all defensive. IF they do that in the NCAA tourny they will be lucky to finish in top 5.

I totally agree with your assessment! I often get ripped on here for saying the same thing but aside from Ramos, we don't attack like the Iowa teams from the past. I think they have the talent in the wrestlin room, but are offensively handicapped.
