Pletcher drops an 8-4 decision. Midway through the match something seemed to happen to Luke and he seemed to get gassed. 3-6 Pedsters.

How has Verkleeren not been given a stall warning? He has to have backed off the mat 6-7 times.

Because the refs suck, there would have been 2-3 stalling points awarded to PSU if Verkleeren was Ohio State. Obviously Luke losing was a killer, but if we don't give up bonus at 165 and 174, then Rocky gets an upset with Moore bonus... just saying.

And that's match. Turns out being hosed at 165 won't matter when Romero gets pinned in a move that a fucking grade school wrestler shouldn't get caught in.

No activity .... Looks like they wrestling not to lose instead of being aggressive. Tough to watch

Had to take a break from watching because my 3 year old grandson wanted to watch The Adventures of Paddington. Just finished watching the last 5 matches. Great win by Gas Tank to bring the final to 16-20 Pedsters.

it’s been since 2015 I think since Ohio St has beaten these guys in a dual. I get they’re the gold standard and come tournament time it’s a completely different beast...I selfishly just wish they could win those more often.

Hopefully at worst it was a tweak and nothing that lingers if in fact something did happen.

Awesome to see Gary get that win, he's really putting it together and changing the way heavyweight was looking.

Well, not all bad things as takeaways here despite a loss. Nobody should point to a single match as the cause of the loss, but Luke losing does change the outcome of the dual, from both momentum and points. But let's get real, Luke (along with Kollin) is the life, blood and fight of this program, he gave it his all. He'll get Lee back when it matters.
But such a mixed bag here. Can't believe Malik and Kinner won their matches, but thrilled with their performances. Decatur hung tough for 2 periods, but deflated at the end. Sasso should have won in regulation with stall points, but grinded out a great win. Smith wrestled very well and got screwed on officiating to take a major. Romero just blew it, no way around it. Ditto for Rocky, he didn't even look like he wanted to be there. Moore was spectacular and left no doubt that he's #1.
Then... Gas Tank Gary gets his own paragraph because shame on anyone who stopped watching before this match. Gary lived up to his nickname in a thrilling win at the end of the 3rd. This kid is going to cement a legacy for our program. He's the reason college wrestling is so fun to watch. May the Gas Tank never run dry!
