Short Time Shots - November 18, 2018 Short Time Wrestling Podcast

    • Wrestling

Sure enough, the first full day with the new car, and I have to take my wife’s Pontiac G6 down to Maturi Pavilion. Why? I don’t quite yet know how to park our new monstrosity and her car fits in better places. Yup, it’s a Sunday in college wrestling and we’ve got some real fun stuff to discuss. I’m Jason Bryant and this is Short Time Shots, a look at the day’s happenings in college wrestling from around the world. I don’t have any funny anecdotes to share today, other than man, my fantasy football teams SUCK. Like bad. Horrible. Hashtag #NoOneCaresAboutYourFantasyTeam. I’ll start off at the dual I was at today as No. 4 Oklahoma State pulled away from No. 13 Minnesota 23-9 in front of over 3,000 fans at Maturi Pavilion. We saw two highly anticipated bouts and five overall that featured both competitors in the national rankings. After a rather uneventful Cowboy win at 125 pounds, Daton Fix of Oklahoma State knocked off Minnesota’s two-time All-American Ethan Lizak 6-1 at 133 pounds. Lizak is every bit of 133 and this new weight class should serve him well. Fix and Lizak got involved in some fun scrambles, but a pair of takedowns AND a reversal helped give the Cowboy redshirt freshman the W. I talk with Fix and a bunch of Gophers on The Guillotine Grapevine, which you can also find on the Mat Talk Podcast Network. Bonus wins by Chandler Rogers, Jacobe Smith and Dakota Geer allowed the Cowboys to pull ahead, even after a lost team point during the 133-pound bout. Minnesota did give their fans something to cheer about as Gable Steveson’s first home dual was a big W as he used a first period takedown and set of four nearfall points to top All-American Derek White 8-2 at 285 pounds. Again, hear from Gable, Eggum, Fix and Mitch McKee, who FINALLY beat Kaid Brock in a folkstyle match on the latest edition of The Guillotine Grapevine. No. 2 Ohio State had no Myles Martin and no Kollin Moore, but the Buckeyes had enough to beat Arizona State 22-17 in Tempe. Zahid Valencia of ASU beat TeShan Campbell at 174 pounds, while Micah Jordan registered a solid 18-8 major decision over Josh Maruca at 149 pounds. Lineups weren’t exactly at 100 percent for either team, but No. 5 Michigan topped No. 6 Lehigh 21-13 at Crisler. At 174, Myles Amine topped Jordan Kutler 6-4 at 174 … and really, that’s the only matchup that really had ranked wrestlers. We had an injury default with Malik Amine dropping a match to Jimmy Hoffman and Lehigh’s Jordan Wood majoring Luke Ready at heavyweight. Other than that, nothing really riveting, other than this match was supposed to be wrestled on Friday, but snow moved it to Sunday. Virginia Tech will limp home to Blacksburg after taking two losses on the road this weekend. No. 25 Northwestern used a major decision at heavyweight by Conan Jennings to knock off the 10th-ranked Hokies 20-16 in Evanston. The key match there came at 149 pounds where Shayne Oster upended Ryan Blees 8-7 in the tiebreaker. No. 12 Nebraska topped No. 18 Wyoming 22-12 in Laramie. A couple of interesting results from this dual on both sides. First, Zeke Moisey was upended by Wyoming’s Cole Verner at 125, then Tucker Sjomeling, who was just beaten the other night by Jens Lantz of Wisconsin, well Sjomeling beats All-American Montorie Bridges 13-11. Eye-Yeye-EYE. Branson Ashworth beat Nebraska’s Isaiah White 2-0. Nebraska picked up seven wins. No. 17 Wisconsin had redshirt freshman heavyweight Trent Hillger play hero on two occasions on Sunday. First against Princeton, Hillger earned a first period technical fall to push the Badgers past the Tigers 22-18. A few hours later, an overtime win over Tate Orndorff lifted Wisconsin past No. 21 Utah Valley 22-17. We’ll get to the tournaments in a sec, but we had some D3 action to get around to. John Carroll went 5-0 as it hosted the JCU Duals along with D2, D3 and NAIA teams. The Blue Streaks, and we don’t mean Martin Lawrence, beat Urbana, Waynesburg, Lourdes,
