Regarding NCSU, its probably a little of them not being as good as we

thought, and this is always a tough tournament for them. Their style of wrestling is not conducive to stringing together several wins in a row against similarly matched opponents. Defense wins championships in every sport and is true in wrestling too. But, in wrestling, you gotta be able to get to your offense to have a chance against top guys. ** Edited by goodbadugly at 3/21/2025, 10:30:00 AM

I felt really good about this team going in

Two razor thin losses by Sam who just needed to
hokiepro 03/21/25 10:06 AM ET
eh...Hip lost because he couldn't escape, not because of the illegal hold
JoesterVT 03/21/25 10:26 AM ET
I thought Hip panicked way to soon. He tried the roll and at that point
VTBAMA 03/21/25 10:49 AM ET
Hipolito really lost because of an illegal move.
Hokiefan94 03/21/25 10:48 AM ET
Agreed, but Chumbley was completely predictable as always
Hokiesplatz 03/21/25 12:02 PM ET
Yep. Raf obviously has a very high ceiling and can achieve a lot here
goodbadugly 03/21/25 10:47 AM ET
I blame it on the bleached hair.**
Hokie Flyer 03/21/25 10:53 AM ET
Yeah, I kinda chalked that up as a loss when it went TB
Pylons 03/21/25 10:51 AM ET
And all 3 losses of course were about more than just what happened late
Pylons 03/21/25 10:44 AM ET
Except in basketball games!!**
Hokie Flyer 03/21/25 10:53 AM ET
I actually almost included a bball example 🤣

Finishing matters
hokiepro 03/21/25 11:26 AM ET
Never said it didn't
Pylons 03/21/25 11:38 AM ET
Although actually finishing sometimes doesn't matter much
Pylons 03/21/25 11:42 AM ET
Too early
Hokie havoc 03/21/25 08:48 AM ET
Spot on!!!!
ForgeHokie 03/21/25 10:12 AM ET
We need to not come into this tournament thinking we have a podium shot and
goodbadugly 03/21/25 10:50 AM ET
FWIW, Hip still might finish higher than Lenny**
JoesterVT 03/21/25 08:42 AM ET
True but there are more points out there for Lenny right now
VTCALS72 03/21/25 08:53 AM ET
On paper, certainly

I thought it was known NCSU was slightly “down” this year
