headshuck 2,604 Report post Posted January 2, 2014 Injured is my guess... If so they should have defaulted. Unless there's some pride in the team finishing 2nd in the tournament. I guess defaulting out is more of a luxury if your team isn't in the running. Saw a lot of it at Midlands. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wrestlingnerd 3,003 Report post Posted January 2, 2014 Sloppiest NCAA finalist ever, or certainly that I've ever seen. Super fun, super dangerous, but super sloppy. He's the best guy to have on your side of the bracket if you're a low AA hopeful and the worst guy if you're a high AA or finalist hopeful. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lurshy92 28 Report post Posted January 2, 2014 i love watching ness wrestle very exciting, and i have not seen the match yet, but this can easily be turned around in march, was he taken down and just kept getting put on his back, or was he putting himself, on his back? example elevators from bottom or trying to pass ankles from bottom? last year he was beat by caleb ervin 14-2 and then turned it around later in the year Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skikayaker 93 Report post Posted January 2, 2014 After looking at Ness and Sakaguchi's performances at the Scuffle I think it raises questions about how tough 149 was two years ago when Molinaro beat Ness in the finals and struggled with Sak. It's either the competition is much better, or it's just a coincidence that both have seemed to have gotten worse with two additional years of training and maturity.

wiedsworld 14 Report post Posted January 2, 2014 Ness can be one of the worst technical wrestlers in D1 and he can also be a solid wrestler when he wants to be. He went through this last year, losing to a few un-ranked wrestlers. He will get back to the fundamentals come Big 10 and NCAA time. When he gets rewarded with his sloppy wrestling, he starts thinking it will work on everyone. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Everyone in the whole arena saw that pin coming cause the noise got loud. Easy to see how tight it was. He gave up about 9 takedowns vs. Pena. Not sure how many as I stopped counting. Even when it looked like he had good position Pena still managed to get on top of him. I think Pena foolishly chose down to start the 3rd, why he did that I don't know, and I thought Ness might be able to pin him but he couldn't even turn him. Pena won that, but I still think he should have chose neutral. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jammen 336 Report post Posted January 2, 2014 Ness will very likely be Med Forf out of tourney and we'll wait to see what his future golds. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
