Tough loss by Nelson to Shrek, other than that things look like they went exactly as expected.

Nelson needs to refine his game from his feet so that he doesn't have close matches like this.

Actually much closer than I'd thought . Ortega doesn't choke and LeBlanc finds some offense and IU wins the dual-which would have surprised everyone. Disappointed in KK and PY-Young might have been feeling the effects of his knee injury from last week. Powless continues to impress as Nord is HUGE and Matt took his time,built up his Rt then wore him out and majored a big strong kid. That was Matt's nation leading 12th major. 28-2 now.

Nelson took a total of zero shots in the entire match including the overtime. He'll get disqualified in the Big Tens if he continues to stall the entire match as he did against Alcala.

I noticed Alcala took Neutral in the third after Nelson was SW'd in the second. NOT a good sign when you are #7 in the Nation and getting warned in the second-then it was a stall point which sent the Match into OT-Alcala is #19 so Nelson needs to wake up quickly as there are 7 ? top 25 hwts in the big 10.
Wade,Apland,MClure,Alcala,and ?? Too early to think.
