Analysis: Spencer did what Spencer does, wrestling a combined 3:06 in his first two matches. He pinned Owens in 36 seconds, then took Medley feet-to-back for a quick 4-0 lead, then used four separate tilts to end the match in the first period. Wagner, a Bettendorf graduate who stopped at both Iowa and Northern Iowa before arriving at North Carolina, scored a takedown late in the first period to knock off Kaylor, a returning All-American, then gave up two takedowns in a loss to Courtney, another All-American and past NCAA finalist.

• Wrestlebacks: #23 Brody Teske (Iowa) vs. #9 Micky Phillipi (Pittsburgh)

Analysis: Both Redding and Biscoglia started strong Thursday morning, then cooled off Thursday night. Redding scored two takedowns to beat Zaccone, then gave up five in a loss to Arujau. Biscoglia turned a 4-2 lead into a third-period fall over Shaner, then gave up two takedowns and two reversals in a loss to Fix. Their Thursday night matches were tough assignments. Teske bounced back from a tough first-round loss to beat Brown and advance in the wrestlebacks. Midkiff, a Council Bluffs Thomas Jefferson grad in his first NCAA tournament appearance, went 0-2.

Session 1

• #1 Real Woods (Iowa) won 13-1 over #32 Kal Miller (Maryland)

• #24 Casey Swiderski (Iowa State) lost 4-1 #9 Mosha Schwartz (Northern Colorado)

• #14 Cael Happel (Northern Iowa) won 4-3 over #19 Matt Kazimir (Columbia)

Session 2

• Round-of-16: #1 Real Woods (Iowa) won 7-5 over #17 Dylan D'Emilio (Ohio State)

• Round-of-16: #14 Cael Happel (Northern Iowa) lost 1-0 to #3 Cole Matthews (Pittsburgh)

• Wrestlebacks: #24 Casey Swiderski (Iowa State) won 7-3 over #25 Carmen Ferrante (Penn)

Up Next

• Quarterfinals: #1 Real Woods (Iowa) vs. #8 Allan Hart (Missouri)

• Wrestlebacks: #14 Cael Happel (Northern Iowa) vs. #29 Jordan Titus (WVU)

• Wrestlebacks: #24 Casey Swiderski (Iowa State) vs. #7 Vince Cornella (Cornell)

Analysis: After a dominant first-round win, Woods survived a second-round scare against D'Emilio. D'Emilio nearly scored a takedown at the gun that would've sent the match to overtime, but didn't gain enough control, so Woods advances to the quarterfinals. After Happel scored two takedowns to beat Kazimir, he couldn't score anything against a stingy Matthews, dropping him to the wrestlebacks. Swiderski rallied from a tough opening-round loss with a three-takedown performance to advance to Friday.

• #8 Max Murin (Iowa) won 6-3 over #25 Caleb Tyus (SIUE)

• #5 Paniro Johnson (Iowa State) won 3-2 (TB1) over #28 Alec Hagan (Ohio)

• #10 Michael Blockhus (Minnesota) won 3-2 over #23 Victor Voinovich (Oklahoma State)

• #15 Colin Realbuto (Northern Iowa) won 7-3 over #18 Mitch Moore (Oklahoma)

Session 2

• Round-of-16: #8 Max Murin (Iowa) won 3-1 over #9 Jaden Abas (Stanford)

• Round-of-16: #5 Paniro Johnson (Iowa State) lost 14-8 to #13 Shayne Van Ness (Penn State)

• Round-of-16: #10 Michael Blockhus (Minnesota) lost 3-1 (SV) to #7 Yahya Thomas (Northwestern)

• Round-of-16: #15 Colin Realbuto (Northern Iowa) lost 9-2 to #2 Sammy Sasso (Ohio State)

Up Next

• Quarterfinals: #8 Max Murin (Iowa) vs. #1 Yianni Diakomihalis (Cornell)

• Wrestlebacks: #5 Paniro Johnson (Iowa State) vs. #11 Doug Zapf

• Wrestlebacks: #10 Michael Blockhus (Minnesota) vs. #25 Caleb Tyus (SIUE)

• Wrestlebacks: #15 Colin Realbuto (Northern Iowa) vs. #33 Dom Demas (Cal Poly)

Analysis: For the fourth-straight NCAA tournament, Max Murin is one win from the podium. He scored two takedowns to beat Tyus, then one more in the second period to beat Abas, who had previously beaten Murin in the bloodround two years ago. Murin will face top-seeded Yianni in Friday's quarterfinals, which is a tough assignment, but no wrestler has ever made the bloodround four times and not made the podium. A big Friday coming for Murin. Paniro played with fire in the first round, nearly losing to Hagan. Against Van Ness, he gave up a takedown and was nearly pinned in the first period, but rolled off and trailed 6-0. That was ultimately the difference in a 14-8 loss. He'll drop to the wrestlebacks.

• Wrestlebacks: #25 Jason Kraisser (Iowa State) vs. #10 Kaden Gfeller (Oklahoma State)

• Wrestlebacks: #14 Cobe Siebrecht (Iowa) vs. #13 Trevor Chumbley (Northwestern)

Analysis: Up-and-down results at this weight. Holschlag pulled a big upset in a first-round win over Saldate, but was a tad outmatched against Cardenas in round two. Siebrecht gave up a big move in a loss to Model, then scored on his own big move to beat Hill by major. Kraisser dropped a close first-round match to Scott, then controlled his consolation matchup with Askey to advance to Friday.

Session 1

• #1 David Carr (Iowa State) won 10-2 over #33 Josh Kim (Harvard)

• #17 Austin Yant (Northern Iowa) won 8-1 over #16 Josh Ogunsanya (Columbia)

Session 2

• Round-of-16: #1 David Carr (Iowa State) won 15-4 over #17 Austin Yant (Northern Iowa)

• Wrestlebacks: #6 Patrick Kennedy (Iowa) vs. #28 Andrew Sparks (Minnesota)

Analysis: Carr rolls up back-to-back major decisions to cruise into the quarterfinals, where he'll face past NCAA champ and two-time NCAA finalist Shane Griffith first thing Friday morning. Carr's 15-4 triumph in the second round sent Yant to the wrestlebacks. Kennedy gave up a third-period takedown to Amine in a 3-2 loss just two weeks after scoring a third-period takedown to beat Amine 3-2 in the Big Ten semifinals.

Session 1

• #13 Cade DeVos (South Dakota St.) won by fall in 2:13 over #20 Alex Cramer (Central Michigan)

• #11 Nelson Brands (Iowa) won 6-3 over Alex Faison (N.C. State)

Session 2

• Round-of-16: #13 Cade DeVos (South Dakota St.) lost 8-2 to #4 Chris Foca (Cornell)

Up Next

• Quarterfinals: #11 Nelson Brands (Iowa) vs. #3 Mekhi Lewis (Virginia Tech)

• Wrestlebacks: #13 Cade DeVos (South Dakota State) vs. #14 Ben Pasiuk (Army West Point)

Analysis: Nelson Brands is into the quarterfinals as the 11-seed after a couple of gritty wins. Needed a late score to beat Faison after giving up an early takedown, then scored a takedown at the end of the first to knock off Smith. He'll get Mekhi Lewis, a two-time NCAA finalist and past NCAA champ, first thing Friday morning. DeVos rolled up a quick fall in the first round, but ran up against a freight train in Foca in the second round.

Session 1

• #1 Parker Keckeisen (Northern Iowa) won 12-3 over #33 Anthony Carman (West Virginia)

• #5 Marcus Coleman (Iowa State) won 12-3 over #28 Jacob Ferreira (Hofstra)

• #12 Abe Assad (Iowa) won 6-2 over #21 Giuseppe Hoose (Buffalo)

Session 2

• Round-of-16: #1 Parker Keckeisen (Northern Iowa) won 4-2 over #17 Tate Samuelson (Lehigh)

• Round-of-16: #5 Marcus Coleman (Iowa State) won 2-1 (TB1) over #12 Abe Assad (Iowa)

Up Next

• Quarterfinals: #1 Parker Keckeisen (Northern Iowa) vs. #9 Isaiah Salazar (Minnesota)

• Quarterfinals: #5 Marcus Coleman (Iowa State) vs. #4 Trey Munoz (Oregon State)

• Wrestlebacks: #12 Abe Assad (Iowa) vs. #11 Gavin Kane (North Carolina)

Analysis: People will see the 2-1 score in Coleman's win over Assad and think there wasn't a ton of action, but there was actually a lot of action in that match. Coleman ultimately rode Assad out in the tiebreakers, which held up as the difference. Keckeisen cruised in his first match, then outlasted Samuelson in a close second-round match, despite taking what seemed like 100 shots near the edge. If Keckeisen and Coleman both win their first matches on Friday, they'll meet in the semifinals on Friday night.

Analysis: After three comfortable first-round wins, only Sloan advanced to the quarterfinals after knocking off Cardenas, a U23 world teammate of Sloan's this past summer. Bastida and Warner lost hard-fought second-round matches, dropping them into even tougher wrestleback situations. The path to the podium becomes much, much tougher now.

Along the way, he beat Gordon, scoring three takedowns, including one late in the third to secure a bonus point and sending Gordon to the wrestlebacks. Schuyler couldn't solve Davison and will need to take the long road to the podium.
