Franek winds up 8th after getting blown out by Peyton Robb. Still an All American, but a notable step back this year.
Caliendo gets 4th, so a notable improvement. Will very likely be a 4x AA.

Franek winds up 8th after getting blown out by Peyton Robb. Still an All American, but a notable step back this year.
Caliendo gets 4th, so a notable improvement. Will very likely be a 4x AA.
Franek gets dominated by Shapiro, so he will wrestle for 7th.
Still an AA, but a decent step down from last year.
Caliendo will get somewhere anywhere from 3rd and 6th, which is an improvement
Caliendo with the first takedown vs Messenbrink in the national semifinals.
It'd be a real kick in the nuts if he makes the national finals
Sax wasn't competitive for the first two periods and it cost him.
Sucks to end that way, but what a great year and huge leap for him. I never would've imagined he would be a blood round guy and he...
Sax in on an extended single but can't finish.
Reset, and can't get to anything and loses 6-3.
SDSU has 4 Al Americans. I'm going to go puke
Sax with a takedown, now 5-3 in the third. Devos has RT
30 seconds to go
Really ugly first period for Sax and then he can't ride Devos at all.
4-0 early in the 2nd and Devos has a bunch of RT
SDSU on the verge of 4 AAs. I f*cking hate it
Early takedown for Devos.
Sax up now with All American status on the line
Franek wins 4-2 and is a two time All American.
Sax wins via 10-0 major decision.
He'll wrestle the #2 seed, SDSU's Cade Devos to become an All American.
They met two weeks ago in the B12 title match, with Devos winning via a close...
Incredible job of scrambling to get the opening takedown for Sax.
Sax will have the #27 seed, Danny Wask from Navy to get to the blood round. Great opportunity
Sax with a takedown in the final minute and he avenges his early season loss to 13 seed McCoy!
He has Anoka's #21 Seed Tyler Eischens or Navy's #27 Danny Wask next. The winner of that gets SDSUs...
Franek lost in the quarterfinals and will wrestle tonight needing a win to become a 2x AA. He has just 1 takedown in three matches and has rarely committed to a legitimate attack.
Caliendo cruised...
Dominating 2nd period and Sax records a technical fall over the 30 seed to stay alive. Has the 13 seed McCoy next, who beat Gaven in a close one earlier this year
Yeah, and this wasn't a quick fall either, he was flat and holding as tight as he could multiple times in the final seconds. He was the closer one to scoring all period, no need to be that risky to...
Sax loses his opener on a defensive fall. Just very poor awareness on his part there. Very disappointing
Franek survives his first round match by 4 seconds of riding time. He has looked worse all year, and not just because he's wearing the Hawkeye colors. That being said, no reason he can't be an All...
Wildcards were announced today and NDSU didn't get any, which wasn't a surprise.
Sax will be the lone NDSU wrestler in the NCAA tournament
Petersen loses and NDSU will only have 1 automatic qualifier.
Seems unlikely they'll get anyone a wild card to NCAAs, but maybe Petersen can get one.
Great scramble by Petersen to fight off a takedown.
Heads to OT vs the #2 seed tied 5-5
Gaven Sax is a Big 12 finalist! The 7 seed with another big upset to advance to the finals
If you would've said that at any point in his career, I would've called you crazy, but man, what a jump...
PA, or anyone else: you been watching?
Looks like some better than expected results, especially Sax, Mooberry, and Dawson.
Barreto's match here is the first one I've watched
They are the best in the conference, but I still don't think they are good. It's the 26th ranked conference and headed for a 15/16 seed most likely.
