Transcript
00:00 Thank you. Thanks, everybody
00:09 for coming. Just quick
00:10 announcement. We won't do
00:11 media tomorrow. So if you have
00:11 questions about Purdue, we'll
00:12 take those at the end.
00:20 Questions for coach. Tom
00:20 overall thoughts on the duel
00:21 tonight. Over all thoughts on
00:27 the duel. I think there's a lot
00:27 of people that. We're happy to
00:35 see. Peter go out and get the
00:35 wind and I think everybody was
00:36 happy about except Peter. He
00:37 didn't like how he performed.
00:37 And we're moving forward and I
00:38 like that never satisfied. What
00:42 did he show you out there? He
00:43 showed me that he's not
00:47 satisfied with the wind. Is it
00:48 not satisfied? Is it an
00:53 offensive thing? Defensive
00:54 thing. You'll have to ask him.
00:57 You mentioned back the Oregon
00:58 State duel that you wanted your
00:58 guys to go out and dictate
00:59 matches. How have you felt your
00:59 team has been has built on that?
01:05 Your message there. We need to
01:05 widen the gap. No doubt. Drake
01:06 in his second win in a row over.
01:13 McKee. He's looked good. Um, you
01:14 know, last this weekend. As a
01:14 have a floodgates kind of open
01:15 for him a little bit. Is he?
01:15 That's a quality opponent there,
01:25 and we don't go to sleep on him.
01:26 And Drake Ayala doesn't go to
01:26 sleep. Drake Ayala put himself
01:27 back in that match after giving
01:28 up the first take down ended up
01:28 on top in the first period.
01:29 Didn't let the clock tick down.
01:29 And then there's a mad flurry
01:30 panic crisis scramble at the end.
01:42 Just put himself right back in
01:43 the match ended up period on top.
01:45 How crucial were his short time
01:46 points not only in the first,
01:46 but the take down in the second
01:47 came in the last 20 seconds or
01:52 so. Amen. That's good wrestling.
01:57 Doing a good job. How is he
01:58 prepared for the challenge
02:03 ahead with Purdue on Friday?
02:04 He's got another big opponent.
02:08 What's the plan for the next
02:13 week? Um, with Ramos expected.
02:18 We evaluate and we look ahead
02:19 then and we're ready to go.
02:23 Short week. What did you learn
02:25 about £133 tonight? Kale
02:27 Peterson's debut. Kale
02:28 Peterson. We like what's under
02:29 the hood there wanted to get
02:29 him in Carver Hawkeye Arena.
02:32 Think that's important.
02:34 You like wrestling on Monday?
02:35 I don't even know what day it
02:37 is, except it's Monday night.
02:39 And you know, normally you go
02:41 Friday, Sunday and we went
02:42 Friday, Monday and what's the
02:44 difference? We love it. We're
02:45 on. Um, we weren't on. We were
02:49 on the linear, right? So we're
02:51 not on Big 10 plus and when
02:53 we're not on Big 10 plus, that
02:54 means we're on Big 10 network
02:56 and that's what we like. So
02:58 we'll wrestle whenever that's
02:59 free. I think we were on Big
03:02 10 network two events in a row.
03:05 That's important. It's
03:06 important for this sport. It's
03:07 important for our program.
03:10 Caleb had a bounce back
03:11 performance after, you know,
03:13 facing a really tough opponent.
03:14 Got to his offense early,
03:16 scored two takedowns. He knows
03:18 he can do more. We know he can
03:19 do more.
03:21 Did you like Kennedy's
03:23 offensiveness, his urgency?
03:25 I like Kennedy as he woke up
03:29 and the guy got in on us twice
03:31 and lifted us really easy. We
03:33 took two stalemates there. When
03:35 he started throwing his legs
03:36 back, that's when things
03:37 started speeding up and we
03:39 cannot let guys get their hands
03:41 locked on our legs. Ben Keeter
03:43 at the end, let the guy lock his
03:45 hands. We had his hands broke.
03:47 Cale Peterson let the guy get
03:48 his hands locked twice. Guy
03:50 scored two takedowns on us and
03:52 we cannot let guys get their
03:54 hands locked on our legs and
03:55 when Kennedy threw his legs
03:56 back in traditional basic
03:58 sprawls, that's where we want
04:01 to be.
04:02 Anything else? Thanks, Jason.
04:07 Thanks.
04:08 Thanks.
04:09 Thanks.
