2020-2021 Season

Mainly no Cook. Cook prevents NDSU from winning 149-184 whether they put him at 165 or 174, which swings the dual. I would probably start Jordan over Vega every dual if I were them, so no issues with that.

As far as Pentz vs Nelson, I've seen exactly 1 Pentz match and while he was fun to watch, he was sloppy. Nelson looks stronger and more technically sound to me. Nelson has also had a pretty tough schedule thus far and his win over Tyrell Gordon is probably better than both of Pentz' wins today.

On this weekends pre meet lineups Michael Nelson is listed with T.J. Pottinger at 184. Pentz and Rasmussen are listed at 197.

Nelson at 184 and Pentz at 197 would be a positive development IMO. 174-197 would still be question marks, but they do have potential.

Agree that Nelson at 184improves the team. It either means Pentz is beating Nelson or he’s able to drop the weight and Pentz can’t.

NDSU beat SDSU for the 2nd time on the year. Good, balanced team win.

They lost 9 of 10 matches vs Iowa State following that dual.

Luke Weber went 2-0 on senior day and picked up a fall in his final home match.

Anyone else think the ref today was awful? My goodness!

Seemed like NDSU used up all their energy against SDSU, they came out flat against ISU. We weren’t favorited to win the dual by any means, but there were a handful of matches I thought our guys would have been in and they weren’t. Also, wrestling Degen looks like the most frustrating thing ever.

The ref was horrible. On the bright side, he was horrible for both sides of the NDSU-SDSU dual. I've never seen Hahn that angry before

[PaBizon]

Agreed. The officiating was brutal. For this level you expect to have better than those two.
