We all gotta say thanks to BTN for getting these videos out asap. I used to do it for them and paid the price lol.

[@user-ej2xz3lx2e]

Logan wrestles like he took a nyquil 30 minutes before the match.

[@ethancarson6218]

Massa doesn't look like #2 in the country. Starocci can be a problem on top but needs to improve on his feet no doubt

[@Gymthingz]

His feet is crazy definitely does. But he wasnt not trying to shoot to win it seems like.

[@DB-115]

He is awesome on his feet. Got deep on Massa twice in the first period.

[@ethancarson6218]

Ya i agree im just saying that looked to be his biggest weakness to me later on and not being able to finish but there is no question he is a stud 💪

[@georgesealy4706]

Just an opinion, but Starocci had to give his opponent due respect. You don't go crazy stuff against a wrestler who can turn it into real trouble. Starocci wrestled conservatively and ended up going the distance.

[@slimmachado5405]

Which is weird because he looked like an absolute killer just two days ago

[@Gymthingz]

Use to wrestle Carter. Kid was on another level in 7th grade.

[@jomama969]

They went into overtime and he almost came out with a major decision. That’s awesome

[@moralityIsHard]

Heck yeah!!! Position position position. Great match and come back (from earlier unranked loss).

[@MichiganMade]

In 2017 Logan's red shirt freshman year he finished 32-3. Only losing to Imar Twice 3-1, 10-4 and to Joseph 5-4 in the Semi-finals at NCAA'S. In 2018 he started 10-0 and then blew out his knee. He came back to lose five of his next six matches and was never the same wrestler after the knee. In the 2018 Nationals he lost in the second round 9-6 to Wick and in the Cons to Roger Chandler ok st 6-5 in SV2. He still went 2-1 vs Marinelli that season. 2019 he went like 23-7. Three of the seven losses were close with Joseph. 120-28 3,5,5...

[@teddyvincent4833]

I wonder how often Starrocci gets to train with the likes of DT, Bo Nickal, Mark Hall, Nolf, Zain, Cenzo, etc. Because it must be a confidence-boosting knowing that there is not a soul he’ll face this year who can match the collective talent in that practice room. That’s got to improve your game.

[@functionalvanconversion4284]

Wow, that was a battle!

[@MichiganMade]

3rd 1:54 Massa escapes with 1:00 on riding clock

[@2Minihats]

Massa is Phenomenal at freestyle, top and bottom make such a huge difference in college! Also, who beat Starocci?

[@Danimal6100]

DJ Washington from Indiana with a 10-9 decision

[@RS-tz2zn]

@@Danimal6100 Yeah, that was a fun rematch

[@ogot344]

Very unnecessary roll in the first TB period cost him the match I'm sure but as a PS fan lets go

[@jonkramer1830]

Hopefully it’s just the fact Michigan was shutdown for Covid because guys they need to perform Massa and Lewan were lethargic today. Definitely not what we’re used to seeing from these two talented wrestlers

[@matthewkrafft9227]

Penn State was hit with Covid too. Michigan was a tad overrated at #2. PSU and Iowa are just programs on another level right now. PSU will go on another title run with this young talent.

[@helencoe7839]

Massa isnt that good he always chokes

[@treypatterson7856]

Nice win, if he can get his attacks going, he will be awesome!

[@matthewkrafft9227]

WE ARE!

[@Wreckhouse69]

Let’s go cuz☝️

[@georgesealy4706]

I thought it was a major 'victory' for Starocci to wrestle him even for regulation time. Starocci is growing up fast. It has to be a confidence builder.

[@leonharmon5147]

Easily the match of the week

[@StretchClub1]

How old is massa now? 7th year senior.

[@psoup7249]

Let's gooo

[@calvinnisson2290]

crazy to think that if Massa had ridden him for just 2 seconds longer or gotten out 2 seconds quicker they wouldn't have even gone to overtime

[@MichiganMade]

I watched it in slow motion Massa escapes with exactly one minute still on the riding time clock

[@Saltydogg909]

Feels like Logan Massa has been there for ten years

[@thedon9375]

unnecessary and lazy roll.

[@Gymthingz]

He got broke

[@thedon9375]

@@Gymthingz I don’t know about that. Because he didn’t look tired but he definitely came in there thinking it’d be a lot easier if a night than it was

[@Gymthingz]

@@thedon9375 he definitely relaxed in positions and got caught. Came out flat, maybe bad weight cut.

[@mc.cringleberry8716]

@@Gymthingz I doubt that he's small for a 174. And he competes at 74kg which is 163

Lolololol massa getting owned by a freshman and he's a senior ..... love it!!!

[@HoldenCoughfield]

He's a sophomore technically

[@samcooper4024]

@@HoldenCoughfield no he would be a redshirt freshman this year if anything

[@HoldenCoughfield]

@@samcooper4024 This is his second year. He took a redshirt his first year so now he's a redshirt freshmen, which is technically a sophmore. He wrestled last year just not on the official lineup, that's what redshirts do.

[@gregorywilson9322]

What is with the depressions in the mat ...

[@devanrichter1466]

Stirocci should have gotten dinged for stalling that last 20-30 seconds of the 3rd. But good match by him. Massa looked too flat footed.

[@Fullsendfilosophy]

Stslling call wouldn't have mattered

[@DB-115]

A #2 senior should never take a #12 frosh to OT let alone get beat in such fashion.

[@lexingtonconcord8751]

Tough guy talk from a no name KZbin keyboard warrior 👍🏻 I'm sure you were once ranked #2 in the nation Last thing before I go, his ranking and grade do not make him a better wrestler by default

Big win for psu

Very Nolfy.

[@travismuhler]

I was so happy to see this upset!

[@NicholasRodriguezN7]

I think his match against D.J. Washington was a big wakeup call. That guy got Big Ten wrestler of the week for beating him and so many people saying he was all hype. Well he showed up big winning this match. Couldn't have rebounded any better than this!

[@x2dab184]

What are you talking about he out shoots his opponent every match he's in

[@Castaneda-qe8ry]

@@MichiganMade Send me those stats

[@MichiganMade]

@@Castaneda-qe8ry what is your email address I'll send you the stats from all of his seasons that show the amount of points scored takedowns escapes near falls etc for the entire season I looked and he led the team in points every season but once and he led the team and take Downs every year but twice one year pantello and Parris had more in the other year pantello had more but for 2022 he had more takedowns than sereno and led the team with 48

[@MichiganMade]

He was top three in takedowns every season he wrestled and three of the years he led the team and he led the team in scoring every year but one year when Parris took second

[@MichiganMade]

@@Castaneda-qe8ry his takedown to allowing a takedown percentage for his career is 91%. So he had 91% more takedowns than getting taken down.... In order to always lead the team and take Downs you have to be always taking shots so that proves he was not a dull wrestler who never took shots

[@randolphlex714]

Massa has to wrestle more agressive the guy from.penn was gassing out

[@fredruhtra]

Naw massa was gassed after the first I don’t know what’s wrong but he was Not working

[@andressandoval9043]

Let's be honest. Massa is overrated at #2 at 174. If he was at 165 he would be ranked anywhere between 3-5 on a good day. Don't get me wrong Starocci is a talented wrestler but Michael Kemmerer is gonna destroy this kid. And please all u fair weather PSU fans, stop with all that National Champ talk for Starrocci. Massa just wrestled like he normally does, slow and boring, zero urgency.

[@underthecanopy1093]

As a huge Michigan and Logan massa fan.... I couldn't find anything wrong with this statement lol

[@TurfDoe]

What is this, Kemerer’s eighth year?

[@andressandoval9043]

@@TurfDoe 10th year Senior. He is on the Matt Brown PSU plan. It's gonna be real pathetic when PSU is taking 2nd place at Nationals and Iowa is hoisting the team trophy with 4 National Champs! Get on our level Iowa > psu

[@TurfDoe]

​@@andressandoval9043 I assume you're talking about Matt Brown? The Mormon missionary? Not really the same thing. Nonetheless, I know you're hungry for a national championship. You haven't received one in a while. That's why Iowa poached Pennsylvania's finest HS wrestlers. This COVID year is really yours to lose so congrats, go take it. If you lose somehow, it would be probably one of the biggest upsets in wrestling history so I would hope you win.
