What's this?

I can see both sides being disappointed but encouraged

The diappointment comes from not winning enough of the toss ups to steal the match and wrestlers not being consistent or dominate like we've seen. Its why the team is 4-3, but 1-3 against the big teams

OSU had Latonas first stumble and the heavy weights falling just short.

Mizzou had another Sam struggle. With the injury reserve wrestlers doing a good job to keep it close so the team eeks out the win

And now ASU where same issues from previous matches, and line mismatches reared its ugly head. And Cornell where bonus points, injuries, and an upset at 184 turned the tide.

Now the encouring part is back ups are getting experience and stealing some matches. Plus its early, getting healthy before ACC matches and March is priority so there is time
