Great point. Recall Bryce got 2 escapes on Lovett

in their semifinal. Even with Lovett double boots in, Bryce rolled from underneath and got reversals. Amazing stuff..Henson did same maneuver to escape and win last year. Too risky to try again knowing Lovett had to have a counter waiting. So neutral was best choice. Question: in waterfall position why doesn't the top wrestler just push both opponents legs straight back and turn while opp is falling back? is that illegal?

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.

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.
