The Golden Gophers came back to New Jersey a week after a solid win over Rutgers to seal their ownership of the Garden State with a dominating performance over the Rider Broncs. After the senior night festivities were over, Minnesota opened the match with a pair of nationally ranked wrestlers gathering big bonus points. Senior […]
This is an interesting match up for both schools. Minnesota came to New Jersey last week and took it to Rutgers. I know, Nick Suriano was out of the lineup. It’s February everyone is dinged up, so now the Golden Gophers come back to the Garden State to take on the Rider Broncs. Is Minnesota […]
Ohio State was ready and put on a great performance in front of 6600 fans. 125: #7 Nathan Tomasello (OSU) major decision over Ethan Lizak (Minn) 19-5 | OSU 4, Minn. 0 133: #10 Johnni DiJulius (OSU) decision over Sam Brancale (Minn) 4-1 | OSU 7, Minn. 0 141: #1 Logan Stieber (OSU) decision over […]
125 #7 Tomasello bonus points over Lizak, Bremer or Brancale. Tomasello could score more than a major. He will dominate whomever he faces. He’s dominant enough that a pin isn’t out of the question. This could easily be 6-0 but I’ll be cautious tOSU 4-0. 133 #1 C. Dardanes over #7 DiJulius tOSU 4-3. I […]
125: Bremer or Brancale vs.#8 Conaway – Both Minnesota wrestlers have been inconsistent, so has Conaway. Conaway has trouble with wrestlers that are stronger than he is. He also has trouble keeping good position in the neutral position. Last season the big home crowd helped Conaway beat at least 1 ranked wrestler. Edge Conaway 133: […]
Here with Dylan Ness after a big pin against Rutgers setting Minnesota on its come from behind win. T-W: It seems like that’s a new counter technique for you? DN: Before when I countered I’d look to elevate but the last couple weeks I’ve changed it up. Looking for a cradle. T-W: How did you […]
1/9/2015 University of Minnesota Sports Information MINNEAPOLIS — Though the journey to the final moments of Friday night’s dual between No. 1 Minnesota and No. 17 Michigan was different than it was when the two met last January and the Wolverines defeated the Gophers 19-14, the situation heading into that closing bout was the exact […]
174 Storley wins FF. There seems to be a lot more forfeits on top 20 teams this year than I remember in modern history. 184 Silga is a good wrestler but a lack of fundamentals cost him big time against Pfarr. He had a takedown in the first period, all he had to do was […]
1. The national title is up for grabs. This might be the most wide-open field in modern history. With all the factors accounted for (injuries, freshman adjustments, coaching up or down, peaking) I can see scenarios that could lead to 4-5 different teams winning the title in March. 2. The same can be said at […]
With the departure of David Taylor, Ed Ruth, Tony Ramos and Joe Colon I wanted to put together a list of guys that you should make sure to watch this season. These wrestlers create action, even when others try to slow them down. Make a point to watch them this season even if they wrestle […]
