against good match penn state struggle
Penn State is a very good team, a well-balanced team, and they match up real well against us. It's going to be a real struggle for us again.
champions great national oklahoma state tough year
I think Oklahoma State has a great team, and they've had a great run. (The Big 12 championships) have always been a tough tournament, and a lot of the national champions come out of this tournament. I don't think this year will be any different.
cut meet people time work
He's a byproduct of the Cyclones, so we'll have our work cut out for us. Any time we meet people that have our people in their program, it's going to be difficult.
likes wrestle
He's dangerous. No one likes to wrestle this guy, and I can see why.
faster hopefully match missouri penn state understand
Hopefully they won't let the Penn State match be a factor. Hopefully they understand Missouri is not Penn State. They're a much faster team.
good team
Nebraska's got a good team and an experienced team. They wrestled us smart, and they wrestled us well. They wrestled well.
close contested either gone matches meet missouri people
Missouri wrestled the way they had to to win, and we didn't. There were some close matches that could have gone either way and, unfortunately, they didn't go our way. This was a very hotly contested meet and those people will all see each other again.
character good grad guys people
When we have people with speed, we do well. All of these guys have speed. They also have magnificent character and are good students. They all want to go to grad school.
despair good moments overall
We wrestled pretty well the first round. We had some moments of despair, but overall we had a pretty good round.
good job problem tactics work
We've got to do a better job of tactics and technique. Our problem is controlling the tie-up, and we're getting better at it. The only way you get better at it is to work at it and get good competition.
flip reminded saw sure
It was the back flip that was the difference. I'm sure Nate saw that every night. And we reminded him about it.
fought pleased tough
It was a tough, tough tournament. Obviously, our inexperience showed up a little bit, but we fought hard. I'm pleased with the way we fought, not pleased with the results, but we'll get better.
balanced great loaded talent top tournament
It's a great tournament loaded with talent from top to bottom. It's probably one of the most balanced tournaments we've had.
athlete athletics bar both events great obviously raises time
It's one of those championship, World Series-type events for those two every time they meet. Obviously (Ware) is doing some of the things right and he's a great athlete and a great wrestler. Every time Nate wrestles him, it raises the bar for both wrestlers.
