You guys missed the point . Lovett wrestles completely different last period having a lead not tied . Not moving forward at all into Calebs strength .He was winning not tied , He knows if he doesnt have to shoot he cant be taken down .And as long as Caleb gets out in 2nd period in less than a minute ,which I think most believe likely since hes extremely good on bottom ,he ends up with even more time in neutral with the 2 minute OT period. As a side note the stalling call was brutal as Lovett should have been hit for the non wrestling move body block out of bounds . Caleb should have been hit also in 1ST period for backing up so much. Lovett having no stall warnings and Caleb with one likely changed both wrestlers approach .I think the additional neutral OT period is what makes giving up the escape point wrong Robie and Frayer forgot more about wrestling than ill ever know , but i disagreed with decision then and i disagree with it now for reasons stated. Have a good morning and go Hokies

Wrong decision

Henson went with his strength. He clearly can get to Lovett's legs so you

I trust the kid that has wrestled him three times before and beaten him

Agreed.

It was the right decision. Lovett is a generational talent on top.

Great point. Recall Bryce got 2 escapes on Lovett

not illegal, just much easier said than done**

He still needs a takedown at some point to win...I totally understand it**

My only thought was I thought Caleb could have ridden him....
NovaHokie97 03/24/25 10:24 AM ET
that all assumes the odds are in favor of Caleb getting out and doing

I also think Ridge being aggressive right off the whistle set the tone…
TartanHokie 03/24/25 02:36 PM ET
I thought the same thing.
