Minnesota Gophers

Jacks were ahead 17-12 going into Heavyweight match where after multiple stalling calls the Jacks lost the match and the duel 18-17.

Wasn't able to watch the match, but Macki getting 5 stall calls and DQ'd from a match to lose a dual by 1 sucks.

It still blows my mind that SDSU wrestling beat ISU recently and should've beaten Minnesota. That's so awesome.

Re: Minnesota Gophers

Any post game comments from Bono? Seems like a sh*tty way to loose to lose a match.

Re: Minnesota Gophers

The Jackrabbits started out strong winning 5 of the first 6 matches. Unfortunately, they couldn't win any of the last 4 matches. It was a very entertaining dual with several competitive matches. There was a good group of fans that made the trip and probably some that live around Minneapolis. Would have been nice to win the dual but the program is making strides.

Looking online it sounds like they hit Macki with his last stalling with 4 secs left?

They sure did. He was indeed stalling throughout the match, but the calls were made in a way that just doesn't happen in college wrestling. He was dinged with stalling early in the match, setting up the opportunity to get to that point to be hit with the DQ call with 4 seconds left (ridiculous to call at that point).

You could argue that their 149 pounder stalled in the same way as Macki did so that A Kocer couldn't get bonus points via turning him during their match.

Saw a Twitter convo from Jason Bryant (Bono retweeted it) that he thought he was stalling but when you have a All American wrestler on top of you, it is hard not to stall simply due to not being able to do much.
