Good luck!!......HTP!!!

 

[Eric_Knopsnyder]

Camacho gets a cut on his forehead, but cruises to 12-2 victory. Will face top-seeded Jarrett Trombley in one of Pitt's most significant matches of the day.

 

[Eric_Knopsnyder]

Yarbrough wins for UVA and Crook for VT, so Micky and Cole get those matchups.

 

[Eric_Knopsnyder]

Badgett loses to Sherman, making for a really tough road to qualification.

 

[Chaos]

Casto struggling to get out. Getting crushed in riding time. Seems like he ran out of gas after dominating the 1st period.

 

[persp]

Casto is so cringe. He doesn't want to wrestle O'Connor again

 

[Silkky1982]

Same old story with Casto, at least Heller looked really good avenging his loss to Antrasian.

 

[Eric_Knopsnyder]

Casto wrestled a great first period, then did nothing for the next two and loses 5-4. Very disappointing result there.

 

[Silkky1982]

We need slinger to get it done

 

[Eric_Knopsnyder]

Has anyone seen a single stall call? That Casto-Keating match was God awful. Keating did nothing but ride an ankle on top. Casto did nothing on the bottom.

 

[Eric_Knopsnyder]

I missed the Heller match. I saw tweet saying he got bonus. Great job there.

 

[Silkky1982]

Slinger with a big win!!

 

[Eric_Knopsnyder]

Slinger with a gutsy effort there. Looked like he wanted to win it. One or two others this round, not so much.

 

[Eric_Knopsnyder]

The semifinals begin at 1 p.m. Here's what Pitt is looking at:
125 – 1 Jarrett Trombley, NCST, Jr., 11-6 vs. 4 Colton Camacho, PITT, So., 16-8,
133 – 1 Micky Phillippi, PITT, Sr., 12-2, vs. 5 Marlon Yarbrough, UVA, Fr., 7-8
141 – 1 Cole Matthews, PITT, Jr., 17-1 vs. 4 Tom Crook, VT, So., 15-7
165 – 1 Holden Heller, PITT, Jr., 12-5 vs. 4 Connor Brady, VT, So., 13-8
174 – 3 Luca Augustine, PITT, Fr., 13-8 vs. 2 Alex Faison, NCST, Jr., 15-6
184 – 1 Trent Hidlay, NCST, Jr., 18-1 vs. 5 Reece Heller, PITT, So., 17-6
197 – 1 Nino Bonaccorsi, PITT, Sr., 14-0 vs. 4 Michael Battista, UVA, Sr., 25-9
285 – 1 Jonah Niesenbaum, DUKE, Jr., 23-3 vs. 4 Jacob Slinger, PITT, Jr. 9-7

[Eric_Knopsnyder]

Keys for Pitt in the semifinals:
1. Take care of business with top seeds (obviously)
2. Get two finalists from 125/174/285. Of these, 285 would be the biggest surprise, but considering the low-scoring matches that these two wrestle, a Slinger takedown might be enough.
3. Get a Lachlan McNeil win over Ryan Jack at 141. They’ve split a pair of matches over the past two years. A UNC finalist here is much preferable to another for NC State.
4. Have Andy Smith beat Isaac Trumble at 197. Nino has shown he can beat Trumble, but I think we’d all much rather see Smith in the final.

Glad you found this!

 

[Silkky1982]

The biggest hope is if Trombley wins it, and Camacho comes through and can wrestle for true second

 

[Eric_Knopsnyder]

Stalling is so inconsistent in college wrestling.

 

[Ryno53]

@Cranberry Pantherfan
Way to go Dylan!!

 

[Chaos]

Stalling is so inconsistent in college wrestling.

Matthews called 3x?!

 

[Eric_Knopsnyder]

Matthews called 3x?!

The officiating today has been atrocious. Stalling was almost never called (on Mat 1 anyway) in round 1. Now sometimes it is, sometimes it isn't. Matthews calls were very fast. Stopped counting on Jack on legs. Screwed up pretty much everything in Orine-Latona match. Just bad all around.

 

[thom67]

Casto wrestled a great first period, then did nothing for the next two and loses 5-4. Very disappointing result there.

Same all season. Fades badly almost every match.

 

[thom67]

Glad you found this!

#1 seeds wrestle on mat 2.

 

[thom67]

@Cranberry Pantherfan
Way to go Dylan!!

Very bad calls on Cole. He deserved 1 call, not 3.

 

[persp]

That was an unbelievable match by Brady

 

[anon_d97v9o3a8b6xr]

Heller looked very weak in the semi. Gave up takedowns too easily and had no offense.

 

[Eric_Knopsnyder]

More of the same from Luca. Wrestles well for a lot of the match. Gives up one incredibly easy takedown and loses 4-2.

 

[Eric_Knopsnyder]

I think we got the WVU/MD performance today instead of the Illinois/Iowa State one.

 

[Chaos]

I think we got the WVU/MD performance today instead of the Illinois/Iowa State one.

agree. Not their best efforts. Disappointing to say the least.

 

[Eric_Knopsnyder]

Good win by Nino. Could have come out flat with the way other guys were wrestling, but he just did what he does. Still worry about Trumble tonight.

 

[Chaos]

Was really hoping Slinger could pull out that win.

 

[thom67]

Was really hoping Slinger could pull out that win.

You needed a lot of hope for that to happen.

 

[Eric_Knopsnyder]

You needed a lot of hope for that to happen.

Most Slinger matches come down to one takedown. Getting it is never easy, but it's not like he lost 12-2.

 

[Eric_Knopsnyder]

Team hopes are gone, but there's still a lot on the line at 3:30:
Consi Semifinals
125 – Camacho, PITT, vs. 6 Ethan Grimminger, DUKE, Fr., 0-9
149 – Badgett, PITT, vs. 3 Jarod Verkleeren, UVA, Sr., 19-8
157 – Casto, PITT, vs. 3 Ed Scott, NCST, So., 16-7
165 – Heller, PITT, vs. 6 Gabe Dinette, DUKE, Sr., 0-9
174 – Augustine, PITT, vs. 4 Michael Goldfeder, UNC, Jr., 12-9
184 – Heller, PITT, vs. 6 Jack Wimmer, DUKE, So., 3-9
285 – Slinger, PITT, vs. 6 Ethan Weatherspoon, UVA, So., 5-13

 

[Silkky1982]

Guys on the back side got to get to work. Camacho can make a run, badgett has Duke and then verkleeren to go to nationals(doable), both hellers and Luca need to take 3rd

 

[Chaos]

You needed a lot of hope for that to happen.

One of our #1 seeds lost, so it was possible, and Slinger kept it close. With the way his season went with the uncertainty of Pitzer, I was hoping he'd pull it out. It was pretty close bout. H2P

 

[Silkky1982]

I thought we might have a chance with badgett, but he had zero offense the entire tournament, can’t win that way

 

[Silkky1982]

Please tell me if I’m wrong, but did Pitt have any offense today besides a few matches?
