Impressed with Singleton. He dominated. Another Frosh.
I bet O'Connor thought about that celebration a long time.
Admittedly i don't know Austin O'Conner…but he doesn't seem like someone I'd be friends with
how in the hell do you wrestle with that kind of brace on?
It's not fun. And if you watch NCAA's it is getting pretty common for these dudes coming back from leg injuriesmdreid said:

Uninspiring win from Trumble against a nobody. We've yet to see his best this season, I'm hoping he turns it on at ACC's.

I love beating these ****** wagons.
Carolina just has no program depth. We could wrestle our B team and probably still beat them.Riddickulous said:

That was fun to watch
Just a guy on the sunshine squad.
Domination.
Love seeing the handshake line in wrestling, a much more man to man gladiator sport, and how they handle it like mature men. The woke message board guys think basketball shouldn't do it.
Wrestling hasn't been infiltrated by the ******bag society yet.

Reynolds Coliseum West!!
NC State closed out the regular season in dominating fashion, defeating rival UNC 28-6 on the road.
With the win, the Pack is 14-1 overall heading into the ACC tournament next month in Raleigh.
No. 5 NC State clinched at least a share of the ACC Co-Dual Meet Champions and defeated the Tar Heels for the 10th consecutive time.
The Pack won eight of the 10 matches and had two wins over ranked opponents.
NC State started the night with a top-10 matchup in the 141 class between No. 6 Ryan Jack and No. 9 Lachlan McNeil. Jack started the match with a quick two-point takedown and McNeil countered with an escape to make it 2-1.
That would be as close as it would get the rest of the way as Jack cruised to a 7-5 win.
Jackson Arrington made it two in a row by defeating Wil Guide, 10-6, setting up the second top-10 showdown of the night.
NC State's Ed Scott faced Austin O'Connor, ranked No.2 in the nation. O'Connor remained perfect with a 3-1 win.
Two matches later, Alex Faison pulled off an upset for the Pack, taking down No. 12 Clay Lautt. Faison, ranked No. 28 in the country, jumped out to a 5-0 lead over Lautt and never looked back.
Lautt's only point came from an escape in the third as Faison went on to win, 6-1. The Pack led 12-3 after Faison's win, with their top wrestler coming up. No. 3 Trent Hidlay put on a clinic versus Carson Tenold, jumping out to a 12-3 lead in the middle of the second. Hidlay earned a 24-9 technical fall win, pushing the State lead to 17-3.
Isaac Trumble, No. 8 in the country, bounced back from last week's loss to No. 1 Nino Bonaccorsi, by knocking off Max Shaw, 3-1.
In the heavyweight division Owen Trephan fell behind early to Brandon Whitman, who got an early two-point takedown. Trephan got a quick escape and a takedown of his own to take a 3-2 lead in the first. Trephan took all of the momentum in the second and led 10-2 going into the third.
Trephan would finish with a 17-6 major decision victory. After Jack Wagner defeated Troy Hohman in the 125 class, Kai Orine ended the night with a 10-1 major decision win over Jace Palmer.

"Reynolds West": NC State wrestling squashes UNC, clinches ACC co-dual title
Just like Kenan Memorial Stadium has been renamed "Carter-Finley West," you can now call Carmichael Arena "Reynolds Coliseum West."
For the 10th straight time, the NC State wrestling team took down North Carolina, this time in dominant fashion by a score of 28-6 to clinch a share of the ACC regular season championship.
The No. 5 Wolfpack (14-1, 4-1 ACC) dominated from start to finish in front of a majority-red crowd, winning eight of 10 bouts against the Tar Heels (6-9, 2-3 ACC) and continuing to own the series.
"Our fans obviously take this rivalry seriously, and our guys understand and know what's at stake," said head coach Pat Popolizio. "They come to compete and represent NC State with pride and passion, and that's what you get from this group. Our culture and mentality is to come in here and win and make our fanbase proud."
NC State started out with back-to-back decisions to begin the match, the first by way of a top-10 showdown in the 141-pound bout between No. 6 sophomore Ryan Jack and UNC's No. 9 Lachlan McNeil. Jack got ahead early and held on late for a 7-5 win, giving the Pack an early 3-0 lead. Jack also bounced back in a big way after dropping a top-five bout the week prior against Pitt.
The second win came from No. 17 freshman Jackson Arrington, who beat UNC's Wil Guida 10-6 in the 149-pound bout. The decision victory gave NC State three more points and made it a 6-0 match two bouts in.
It was a different story in the 157-pound bout, which saw another top-10 showdown between No. 7 sophomore Ed Scott and UNC's No. 2 Austin O'Connor, the latter of whom won the national championship at 149 pounds in 2021. O'Connor got the better of Scott, beating him 3-1 to give the Heels their first three points, and he even mocked NC State by throwing up a wolf sign and pretending to slash it in front of the Wolfpack faithful.
That was about the highlight of the night for UNC, who only won one more bout the rest of the way. The Pack got back on the board as No. 26 freshman Matty Singleton bounced back from a loss against Pitt to beat UNC's Joey Mazzara 6-2 and pad the lead to 9-3.
In last year's match between the two teams, UNC's Clay Lautt stunned everyone in attendance at Reynolds Coliseum when he pulled off a stunning pin against NC State's Hayden Hidlay, who at that point had not lost an ACC bout in his six-year career.
This time, No. 12 Lautt was paired against No. 28 redshirt junior Alex Faison for NC State, and Faison returned the favor, scoring a 6-1 upset win and giving the Pack a 12-3 win. Out of all of NC State's wins of the night, Faison's had to have been one of the sweetest.
"I think that's a match that Hayden probably wins 19 times out of 20 [Lautt] obviously got pretty lucky, and it felt good to get that one back for Hayden," Faison said. "That's one that I really wanted to get back, and it was personal this week."
In a match that seemed decided from the start, No. 3 redshirt junior Trent Hidlay dominated UNC's Carson Tenold 24-9, earning a tech fall for the Pack. Before the match, UNC's No. 11 Gavin Kane was expected to start; instead the Tar Heels rolled with the less experienced option, which resulted in a beatdown. The bout consisted of Hidlay throwing down Tenold on repeat, giving NC State a commanding 17-3 lead as he and the Wolfpack crowd raised the roof.
"It's domination," Hidlay said. "It's our culture versus theirs, our lifestyle versus theirs; if we compare those every year, we're going to come out on top," Hidlay said. "We wrestle harder, we train harder, we compete hard, and our fans love watching that."
The 194-pound bout was a much tighter battle, with No. 8 sophomore Isaac Trumble prevailing 3-1 over UNC's Max Shaw. The bout featured only one takedown, which was the difference on the scoreboard. With the win, the Wolfpack stretched its lead to 20-3.
No. 11 redshirt sophomore Owen Trephan got off to a rocky start in the heavyweight bout against UNC's Brandon Whitman before turning it up in a 17-6 major decision. An early takedown for Whitman was the high point for the Heels; Trephan turned a 0-2 deficit into a 10-2 lead. The major decision gave the Pack a 24-3 edge overall.
In the 125-pound bout, freshman Troy Hohman lost 8-5 to North Carolina's No. 24 Jack Wagner, a seven-year collegiate wrestling vet. Hohman refused to go down easy, but Wagner's experience outmatched Hohman and gave Carolina its second and last win of the night, making the score 24-6.
To close the night, No. 18 redshirt sophomore Kai Orine dominated the 133-pound bout, convincingly beating Carolina's Jace Palmer 10-1. The dominant performance capped off the 28-6 win, much to the delight of the large contingent of traveling Wolfpack fans.
"It felt like we were in the home building," Popolizio said. "I think we probably had more people here."
With the regular season in the books, the Wolfpack will prepare to host the ACC championships. The all-day event in Reynolds Coliseum will be on March 5. Last year, NC State won four of the 10 individual championships while winning the team title for the fourth consecutive season.

Any issue with Trombley?
No, he has locked in the 1 seed at ACC's and 125 is a tough cut for him so it makes sense to give him a week off in a dual we were going to win anyway.PossumJenkins said:

ACC seeding out for the conference tournament. The ACC was awarded 2023 qualifications in the following weight classes: 125 (2), 133 (3), 141 (4), 149 (4), 157 (3), 165 (3), 174 (3), 184 (5), 197 (4) and 285 (3).
1 seed:
125. Trombley (first round bye)
184. Hidlay (first round bye)
2 seed:
141. Jack (first round bye)
149. Arrington (first round bye)
174. Faison (first round bye, vs Pitt in the semis)
285. Trephan (first round bye)
3 seed:
133. Orine vs Duke
157. Scott vs Duke
165. Singleton vs Duke
197. Trumble vs UNC
If all seedings hold true, we would get all 10 wrestlers to NCAAs. I worry about 133, 165, and 174. I'm hoping to see Trumble get back to form after the time off.

Wonder if Trumble is going to Olympic redshirt this year.
Was fortunate enough to meet and talk with Coach Pop yesterday.
