Match Day vs #5 Oklahoma State
- Thread starter HOF Coach
- Start date
Good question because that was terrible and I don’t wanna hear how good the kid is He wrestled because anybody could look good when you don’t move at all on bottom.
Tough start. Knew this would be an uphill battle. We are going to have to fight a little harder here.
Gotta give Vince credit there. He got worked, but he wrestled ass off the full 7. The rideout in the third was impressive
We should be getting hammered watching this.
Nino is the only bright spot so far
The bright spot was the crowd. Unfortunately we didn’t have much to celebrate. Hopefully things go better down the stretch
This was not a good look at all. Really just an absolute ass kicking. Need to let it go and go get better.
Honestly, I thought Pitzer was more aggressive than he usually is but just got beat tonight. Doucet was a surprisingly good scrambler as well. Dayton has to finish with more urgency though
Pitzer getting taken down in the first period sucked because it allowed Doucet not to have to go on bottom. That hurt

Pitzer did not get taken down in the first. Doucet went bottom in the 2nd and got a reversal+ locking hands. He did a roll and was in on Pitzer’s legs when Pitzer went for a chest wrap which is locking hands since he was still on top, then he gave up the reversal anyway
I thought both Heller and Pitzer had a number of chances to score and win in their matches.
It seemed even with leverage advantages, they had neither enough strength or quickness to capitalize.

One of the things that stood out to me, maybe I’m wrong, but every Oklahoma State wrestler looked like they could have went another 2-3 periods before becoming winded. Their motors were incredible. Most of our guys looked completely gassed after second period.
The break didn’t help, maybe we forgot to continue conditioning.

Oh, I’m with you. that’s why I mentioned above that maybe they all should’ve been at the F&M open prior to Wrestling a top five team in the country. the only one that I saw that look like they were still going through the third period was Mac Stout.
I agree. Mac looked good. Your right, it would have been beneficial if they all wrestled at F&M, good God we looked lethargic out there.
Their 165 Hall who Heller beat last year at NCAAs beat OKST's undefeated 165 Olejnik.
Watched it last night. OSU wrestles on another level. Strong, fit, quick, and skilled. Their guys all wrestle very similar, similar moves, aggressive offensively and brutal on top. Very well coached. Didn’t we get manhandled at OSU not long ago.
Some guys definitely didn’t manage their weight well over the break & had to really cut hard to make it. It hurt some guys for sure.
