UNI vs Iowa State
174 – Curt Maas vs #12 Tanner Weatherman
1st: Here we go, hand fighting to start, and Maas gets a hand to the eye. Restart, Weatherman with a head fake, nothing, now he gets in on a single leg and nearly gets NF points, but just the T2, and Maas gets out, 2-1 now. You can hear Schwab clear as day on the broadcast, that’s always fun. Maas gets in on a low single leg but Weatherman drapes over the back and snags Maas’ leg for a stalemate. That’ll be the end of the 1st, 2-1 Weatherman leads
2nd: Weatherman down to start, he’s up and out right away 3-1. Handfighting again, Weatherman with a shot from a mile away Maas fights it off. ISU coaching staff wants stalling on Maas. Weatherman now with a shot Maas drapes over the top, now the classic ankle pass but Maas has the leg still…scramble now still and Maas nearly gets the T2 himself but Weatherman stands up and gets out, OOB restart. Weatherman with another double leg attempt off the restart, nearly gets the fall on Maas but Maas had a leg, no T2 and no fall, still 3-1 to the third.
3rd: Caution Weatherman, Maas down to start, he’s up and out with a sit out, 3-2 now. Maas with his second or third shot attempt on the match no matter what the commentators/ISU coaches say.

285 – #11 Blaize Cabell vs Quean Smith
1st: First ranked wrestler for UNI so far today. Commentator says, “Cabell, rhymes with Scrabble” for this of you wondering how commentators figure out how to say his name. Smith in on a shot on the edge but Cabell too quick for him, they go OOB. Heavyweight stuff now, not a lot of action. Cabell with a shot but nothing, Smith nearly gets around him but nothing. That’s pretty much it for the first period.
2nd: Cabell down to start, Cabell goes straight up, Smith drops to the ankle, they go OOB. Restart, caution on Smith, he’s doing this goofy thing when he covers with his hand, that time he didn’t do it, no caution. Cabell up and out, 1-0 he leads. Tie-ups again, not a lot going on. Restart. Not much going on, Cabell with a single leg attempt on the outside and switches off to the double leg for the T2 with 5 seconds left. 2-0 and they call an E1 for Smith after the horn blows! That’s not a good call and they’re going to review. The call is reversed on the mat, no E1, 3-0 Cabell leads. As an aside, that’s the first time I’ve seen a call reversed all year.
3rd: Smith down to start, he’s up and out right away. 3-1. Smith is in on a single leg but Cabell fights out, big underhooks now in for Smith as Cabell goes for a shot, but Smith lets him out, Smith not really taking any shots, Cabell in on a single leg, Smith on his but now and gets the T2. 5-1, and Smith gets the E1, he wins it.

1st: Both guys on their knees, Peters with a couple half shots but nothing, now Larson with a shot and he powers through but Peters with a cow catcher but can’t hit it before they go OOB. Tie ups now again, commentators really hammering home now that ISU has finished ahead of UNI at the NCAA’s more times than UNI has beat ISU. Larson with a good shot on the edge but can’t get the T2 before they go OOB. Peters looking again for the cow catcher and there he gets it working now and the ref missed the fall at least twice but there’s enough time left for Peters to get the fall with 5 seconds left.

3rd: Gaul down to start, he’s up and out. Commentators/fans want stalling on Gaul for being down on one knee, the commentator not Jim Gibbons is MAD about it. Hall not doing anything to get Gaul off his knee though. Sorry commentary is more interesting than the match right now. Theres a tie-up, and Hall hits a go by for a T2. 6-2, but theres the E1, 6-3 and there’s a body to body for Hall at the end. 9-3 the final
