Whenever I hear somebody talk about this, I think about Haught

Against Missouri In the Moss center. We were in a very tight dual against Missouri. He had a very comfortable lead against a good wrestler (Miklus). He was Pushing towards the end of the third period for a major decision to help the team out. And he ended up getting pinned.

When you are wrestling against a highly ranked wrestler you have to be careful that you do not put yourself in a bad situation. Because really good wrestlers will take advantage of it and make you pay. You can go from having a very comfortable win that will boost your seating at NCAA’s which is extremely important, to take a devastating loss.

So with that said there is a very fine balance these wrestlers need to walk.

C'mon. What are the chances of Wilson scoring a TD and NF to win late? -- nvpbrown 02/15/2020 11:27PM

No, it was pretty smart -- OrangeHokieFan 02/15/2020 11:25AM

Even with the win, I don't think Mitch moves up in ACCT seeding .... -- hokietony 02/15/2020 12:54PM

No but it might help with NCAA seeding having this win over Tariq. ** -- Hokie Flyer 02/15/2020 6:45PM

Is a forfeit in the first round at ACCT bonus points? I do not think it is.** -- dallasvt 02/15/2020 1:10PM

Forfeit or bye? -- Hokie Flyer 02/15/2020 6:44PM

If Duke scratches at the ACCT at 141, think it's a bye for the #3 seed. -- nvpbrown 02/15/2020 7:52PM

That is what I think based on what I remember from past years. ** -- dallasvt 02/15/2020 9:47PM

It's not the first VT team play not to loose attitude ** -- rtp_hokie67 02/15/2020 11:31AM

You do understand that it worked though, right? -- Pylons 02/15/2020 2:32PM

You don’t understand the sport obviously. ** -- OrangeHokieFan 02/15/2020 12:27PM

Wrestling is not like any other team sport. -- Hokie Flyer 02/15/2020 12:03PM
