Lurker 1,397 Report post Posted February 10, 2020 (edited) 3 hours ago, Lurie92 said: 2 points Sorry to Hijack the thread, but Lee vs Mckee….McKee hitting those head pinches is why I HATE FREESTYLE SCORING. If it was FS he would have been up 8-0, and at no point did he establish control or dominance... Folk>free. The counter argument to that was that it was a beautiful technique that put his opponent on his back, in danger, and scrambling for his life....for which he was rewarded nothing. And not to get too argumentative with you, but it would have been 4-1. Lee was on a knee for both exposures, and he would have gotten 1 reversal. Big difference down three vs two points from superiority. It’s just a matter of preference, for me free>folk.

A bit reaching, but typical of the media industry. "A re'em, also reëm (Hebrew: רְאֵם), is an animal mentioned nine times in the Hebrew Bible and variously translated as a unicorn or a wild ox."

But I think the only way this happens is if Pletcher is smoking your pipe with you before the match. Although what are the odds that Tan Tom doesn't send Pletcher out Saturday night. He may prefer to see round one at Rutgers on a neutral mat. I guess we already knew it, but if one of them ducks then even more proof of duals don't matter. Unless maybe tOSU bumps up Pletcher/Sasso? 125: Heinselman dec Meredith 3-0 tOSU 133: RBY maj Decatur 4-3 PSU 141: Lee tech backup 9-3 PSU 149: Pletcher maj Verk 9-7 PSU 157: Sasso maj Pipher/Gardner 11-9 tOSU 165: Joseph dec Smith 12-11 PSU 174: Hall dec Romero 15-11 PSU 184: Jordan dec Brooks 15-14 (tOSU would need this upset to win IMO) 197: Moore major Rasheed 18-15 tOSU 285: Nevills dec Traub 18-18 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anyone writing either of them off against the other is going a bridge too far. Should be a great match on Sunday. I wouldn't want you to miss it. Its on Saturday.

Lee would likely pin backup, and Pletcher would only win a decision at best against Verkleeran. I might even favor Verkleeran with the size difference. Ohio State has very little chance to win this meet. 22-11 is more likely. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know when it is. Its on BTN which I have. I actually have a friend in from out of town and have to do the whole host thing and these fine people know zilch about wrestling, so I am taping it and will watch after they leave.

The least likely thing is Jordan beating Brooks which would be 21-15 if you flip it, I think everything else is plausible if not likely. Just trying to think of a scenario where Ryan could duck Lee but still claim to be trying to win the dual. But in all likelihood their best shot of winning of course is with Pletcher beating Lee. Lee is not guaranteed to pin the backup. Yes his pin of McKee was nice but he does "only" have 3 other pins on the year, and they were in the first week of the season against guys from Navy, Bloomsburg and Maryland. Happel was pinned too, but if tOSU doesn't send out Pletcher, I'm betting they can find a guy that can avoid getting pinned. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chitown 22 Report post Posted February 10, 2020 21 hours ago, Mokoma said: This is my prediction, and I’m not even sure it’s an outlandish prediction. This match will not be close. Not outlandish, with the flurry of scrambling these two potentially bring, and Lee's length, there are times in the Pletcher's matches where he is susceptible to the nearside cradle. It will happen in one of these three matches (Dual, Big Ten's, or NCAA's)...book it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
