16-4 Major Decision. Hokies up 5-0 with ride time I believe.
Only 4-0
What's the deal with the match against GMU tomorrow? Is it another dual?
Not sure. Hokiesports doesn't differentiate and the team Twitter hasn't touched it.
Gotcha, thanks. I'm gonna be in town tomorrow so was thinking I'd pop in if it's an actual match

I haven't watched a whole lot of competitive wrestling and I have zero clue as to how points are scored. All I know is we're winning, and I'm going to have a fun time trying to figure this sport out as I work on my second manhattan.
Takedown is 3 points. Back points by holding on back adds another. Escape is 1 point. Reversal is 2 points. Not sure the trigger for tech fall.
Team points are 3 for win.
4 for major decision
5 for tech fall.
I may be a bit off.
Tech fall is 15 points differential, it's automatic end of match, basically mercy rule
Wait... have the matches always been in the Moss center????
They alternate between Moss and Cassell. Been doing it a couple years now at least.
ty... never grew up playing this sport, never even heard of a match happening when I was at Tech, so I'm playing a ton of catch-up.
My profile pic is actually in the Moss Arts Center when we were watching wrestling against Duke 6 or 7 years ago. Bud and Fu were there so I got a pic of my oldest son with them

I'm assuming this team score was more or less expected, right?
Pretty much. Duke lost to NC Stall 45-0
Smith should win here.
that was the most one-sided event tonight

Duke is really really bad. They have lost their 3 ACC meets by a combined 126-9 and haven't even faced NCSU. It's not fair to their program that they are not fully funded.
I know there has been pressure in the past that the ACC needs them in order to meet the 6 team conference requirement, but with Standford entering next year I wonder if there are any rumblings of them dropping the program?
VT needs more competitive ACC teams and without any of the Finesilver brothers left, Duke is by far the weakest opponent on our schedule. Why don't they offer scholarship money?
That was fast, I turned it on after getting the kids to bed and only caught the last three weight classes. What a walloping.
Another bout today against GMU, Mac church just did some work at 145
