I didn't see anything chippy going on between Yianni and SVN after the match. Quint thought Yianni looked upset too but it turned out he was joking around with his coaches and saying "this is what it looks like to have some nuts" or something like that.

What's Griffith's link to PSU and Michigan? Off the top of my head, ISU might be an interesting fit to see what comes out of working in the room with Carr, DSJ, and Metcalf but IIRC they might have a recruiting logjam around 174. Not totally sure.

I appreciate the analysis, great stuff. My thought was that Haines will funk it up and give AOC looks that he's rarely encountered before. Combine that with pushing and pace and it could spell trouble. I wonder what the Vegas line on this match is. It feels like such a toss up.

The biggest problem with Iowa Wrestling are the Iowa Wrestling Fans, myself included. Hawk fans are a passionate bunch but have little tolerance for even the most constructive criticism or dissent and are all too willing to eat their own. Too much victim mentality, be it the refs, the rules, or PSU fans. Expectations way out of line. I'm learning to appreciate the sport itself and enjoy the wild ride of the season for what it is.

Something the NCAA championships don't need tonight

Trump did campaign events with the Iowa team during the last presidential election. Nelson Brands seems fond of him. I am guessing he wanted to horn in on the spectacle that would have ensued if Spencer Lee finished as a 4-timer, so I would not be surprised if he bailed. Also would not be surprised if he made a boneheaded comment about the semifinal match. -
I agree, it's hard not to like Ramos especially after the way he handled the win. He also kind of looks like a little kid and has that scrappy underdog thing going for him. That's not a slight, just an observation. Gloray has been attacking right off the whistle the entire tournament so we will see if Ramos and his coaches are prepared for that tonight.

Looks reasonable. You don't think Haines's style is a bad matchup for AOC? At a minimum I think Haines is the 3rd most likely from PSU to win a title tonight.

I see him choking in each of the next 3 years.

Is Gadson the ice cream guy? He usually has good takes after matches.

Anyone catch the audio right after the Monday Hamiti match?

Bono would be fun to mic up -
Will he have to hit up the transfer portal as a grad student to exercise his last year of eligibility?
-
I don't think so. Didn't his family relocate to Iowa?
-
What's done is done, let him enjoy the rest of his Spring Break. First in who knows how many years..

What did Ironside say?

It's too bad that he split. Remember that standing O Griffith got after his last match about a half hour ago? Spencer would have gotten 10 times that for his farewell, deservedly so. He may not realize it but that show of appreciation from the fans in Tulsa was probably something he needs.

Hendrickson's a beast

Quincy!

Murin definitely underrated. His time would have come much sooner if he didn't have to make room for Lugo in seasons prior.

I remember when it was called the Iowa Ride. Gable used to teach it.

Love the kid, lol he was just so cool after that match
-
McGee is tough!

Lmao, Quint bothering Zeke during the review
-
Fix not even bothering to sprawl but still manages to force a stalemate
-
Good finish for Warner. It's been a hell of a ride.

Griffith! Standing O for a hero
