285: #15 Blaize Cabell (UNI) vs Jesse Webb (Ohio)
1st: I join you about halfway though the first period, but it’s a typical dominate Cabell match, he’s got three T2’s already and it’s 6-3. Webb has been warned for staling too. Cabell with an ankle pick and another T2. 8-3. Fans want a half nelson form Cabell but he’s not listening or can’t hear them. He rides Webb out, it’s 8-3 to the 2nd.
2nd: Webb is down to start, Blaize pretty much cuts him, another ankle pick for T2 makes it 10-4, E1 makes it 10-5. 40 seconds left in the period, Cabell with a blast double of rT2, 12-5, now he’s working an arm, but can’t get it, Webb literally hasn’t done anything on bottom, stall on him. 13-5 now. Ohio coach is warned for questioning the referee, not sure what that was about. To the 3rd.
3rd: Cabell down to start, he’s up and out, now a T2, cut, and T2 and cut, makes and T2 and cut makes it 20-7 and we’ve broken the scoreboard. E1 for Webb makes it 20-8. Cabell with a T2, E1, 22-9, T2 again makes it 24-9 for the tech fall.
Match score: Cabell wins 25-9
Final Team score: Ohio wins, 18-17
I’m reading everywhere that the final score was 18-17, but wasn’t it 18-16? Cabell’s tech fall didn’t have back points, right?
They got rid of criteria for tech falls during the off season, so there’s only the five point tech fall now
Thanks. Goes to show how little I’ve followed the season, outside of JUST following UNI all year.
