FULL MATCH: David Carr vs Keegan O'Toole

[@Jaybird165]

Care was very impressive in shutting down OToole! His two takedowns were solid over a national champ with one career lose! Carr was better than I thought heading into this hyped match!

[@BriasRocks]

Same laser quick, strong, high iq

Two absolute monsters, can’t wait to see them clash again at the NCAA’s!!!

[@charlesfriscia7236]

Big 12's first then NCAA'S they'll meet

[@scourge8097]

@@charlesfriscia7236 Will they though? Zero upside for Carr to Wrestle again until the NCAAs. Given how many ducks there are...it'd make sense. I don't see Iowa State as being the type of team with Dresser OR Carr the type of Wrestler to do so, but...we all know, you put two Dogs like this into the ring, the more times they Wrestle, the more adjustments they make. We'll see. Funny though...ISU is the team that is earning that reputation of being fearless while Iowa had SEVERAL MFFs in the B1Gs last year. Edit-To be clear, pretty much EVERYONE is doing this shit now. The ducking to protect seeds. It's not something Iowa started and it's not unique to Iowa. It's just...so antithetical to Iowa that it's weird to see. We all debate if it's worth it to have a Wrestler who's a bit banged up and has a win over who he MAY be competing for a seed with to not wrestle again in the B1Gs and I know it's the same in other conferences. So NO insult meant specifically to Iowa.

[@zombiepresident7581]

I am a Mizzou fan, I was at the Hearnes, I saw this live. Carr looked amazing. He was confident from start to finish. Never looked flustered or lost. Total domination. Keegan never looked to be in it. He was waiting to see something that never showed up. Carr looked amazing. However, Keegan definitely told Carr something at the end of the match as Carr was waiting to get his hand raised, and Carr responded with something. I remember seeing Carr last year. He wasn't as big as he is this year. His upper body really filled out. He looks pretty big for 165. Last year his legs and waist were bigger than his arms and torso in such a way that he didn't look proportional. His arms looked a bit scrawny compared to his legs. This year he looks well balanced and he filled out. He is going to be tough to beat. His skills and attitude are elite at the weight. Carr's dad was there, I think he burned just as many calories as his son did during the match. He was wrestling every moment of it with his son. It was nice to see. Downright wholesome. Brock Mauller's match was the match of the night. He was in a very tough 1-1 match that went to sudden victory, and he ended up getting the pin and winning us the dual. It was amazing! The place erupted. 👍

[@normanhuntley5747]

Senior vs. Sophomore! Keegan a stud for sure,but Carr got 2 full years on him,don't think that matters,it does.Spencer Lee lost 5 times his first 2 years,and he's one of the best ever.Hasnt lost since.Not saying things can't change .2 great wrestlers,imo I'm taking the experienced guy!

Wow. That was impressive on Carr’s part. He looks HUNGRY for another title!

[@diegopons4622]

I said it to a friend yesterday before the dual: Carr wins at the dual, I feel like O'Toole will win at Big 12, and then they go into OT at NCAAs and it's a coin toss at that moment for the tiebreaker.

[@coachjody1971]

Brother only person beating carr is himself carr just beat number one and defending national champion kinda easy 2 mins of riding and two take downs He's not beating carr

[@HoldenCoughfield]

@@coachjody1971 Timing was a big part of that score. it's definitely going to be harder next time, and Carr knows that too.

[@cgmoran91]

In these cases beat them the last time you see them at NCAA. I always told the guys I coached this. I had one kid who kept getting beat by this one kid. That last time they met was the coni semis of districts. The winner goes on to regionals. My kid beat him the 4th time they met and when it counted at districts. I like both wrestlers. Even though one will have to loss. We as fans are the winners getting to watch the best go at it. In a weight class that has 3 champions in it. I can't wait for the real March Madness March 16-18 ( and the prelude March 3-6 Qualifiers: Big 10 and 12 Pac, Mac, SOcon, ACC, EIWL and more)

[@coachjody1971]

I agree with you but carr is at his true weight this year he's winning it all I think he beats otoole by a major next time just my opinion

[@diegopons4622]

Anyone counting out O'Toole for their next match is simply shortsighted. It's hard to beat a great wrestler multiple times in one season. Both are national champions. There will be no easy matches in this series.

Yeah there is no indication based on this first meeting that Otoole will win the next meeting. People are wishing and hoping.

[@aidendrotzur6965]

I see what ur sayin but he got in twice finished once and kinda had a weird little thing happen on the second one the riding out is bad for a rematch but I also see Keegan finding a way to keep carr down through adjustments because he’s a beast on top and I doubt he gets ridden out again the rematches are going to be so good

[@chrisreetz4117]

O Toole only had 12 matches at this point in the season that's ridiculous. But unfortunately it seems to be the way it goes these days most winning wrestler in Iowa's whole team has like 12 or 13 matches I don't like the trend even 45 years ago most guys were going into the ncaa's with minimum of 25 matches several would have 30 plus match count should definitely play a factor into seeding a 25-3 record should hold more weight than a 15-0 if the guy who was 15-0 would have wrestled another 13 matches he might have four or five losses but you'll never no because coaches are choosing to wrestle light schedules

Ima kinda split on the match thing I like guys wrestling a lot but then again you could do that and be like iowa and be totally wrecked by the time you get to march so idk
