Cannon lost his second match

OSU staff lost Cannon's second match by throwing the brick. They should know better by now. They are terrible with the challenge...

 

[Romanowski]

The good: Bouzakis, Mendez, D’Emilio, and Shumate.

The bad: Ryder, Gallagher and Kharchla. Just a tough go. Gallagher’s match was not good. I feel for him, but I didn’t see much urgency or fire. I thought Kharchla had Pinto toward the end of the 3rd. I was watching the matcast from my phone on a plane so I couldn’t really see or hear why points weren’t awarded.

The ugly: Tom’s mind numbing brick throw. It 100% cost Cannon the match. No chance they were going to award two more backpoints there, at all, ever. And then you gave the eye in the sky time to watch the replay over and over again to convince themselves backpoints shouldn’t have been awarded in the first place. Not to mentioned allowing Fish to catch his wind. No sense in being greedy there. Cannon did a great job of reversing the reversal and nearly stuck Fish in the process. Be content with a 9-6 lead against a wrestler that just expended a ton of energy trying not to get pinned. He wasn’t getting the major either. Win and advance.

Big day today. Excited to see how our guys step up in the championship bracket and on the consolation side.

D'Emilio I knew you had it in you my guy! A second AA for him. Jesse destroys a great opponent and will have a rematch of last year's title in the semis with Bartlett. Bouzakis got destroyed by Ayala but he's in good shape to AA if he bounces back.

Feldman with a MD!!

 

[buckeyeintn]

Cannon wins by decision. Looked like it was going to be a MD but gave up a late takedown.

 

[buckeyeintn]

Feldman with the fall!!!!

Tonight and tomorrow night are some of the best times of the year.....March Madness and wrestling on, love it!

 

[Bestbuck36]

Mendez v Barlett on right now. Bartletts fro and lame ass stache needs to seriously lose this match for all huanity

 

[Bestbuck36]

No good on another challenge. Damn so close

 

[Bestbuck36]

Wow. Mendez to the Finals. What a finish

 

[Romanowski]

Mendez was a man with that ride out. Prior to that he escaped in the riding time 30 second tiebreaker with 3 seconds left. He then went into I’m stronger than you mode and rode out Bartlett for the win. Heart thumping win for sure.
