So happy for David Carr, was rooting for him the entire tournament. My friends told me he would lose to O tootle or mesenbrick but they got proved wrong

Absolutely terrible by the referee. Called one stalling as Carr was let up out of bounds and they both waited for a whistle, and another as Carr got a takedown That dude shouldn't be allowed to ref elementary kids, let alone college 🤣

The stalling was absolutely ridiculous in this match. 3 stalls on David Carr is ridiculous.

Gets called for stalling and immediately gets a takedown, nice job refs

Carr, Mesenbrink, O’Toole are the reason I love college wrestling! Congrats to all three young men!

Ref was really trying to screw David in this one. So glad he came out with the W such a class act and humble guy

I am really glad David Carr won. I disagreed with the stalling calls; especially the one that came a fraction of a second before he got the takedown. Glad he won in spite of the refs.

Carr called for stalling immediately after he escapes from the bottom. Carr called for stalling as he gets takedown. They really didn’t want him winning. Crazy.

Escapes instant stall call. Stall call as a takedown happens. Ref trying to give away a match.

before the second stall call, there was FIVE seconds between the ref blowing the whistle to initiate wrestling, and David Carr taking a shot (and then scoring). insane

So thankful for the uploads. I haven't missed a championship in probably 20 years. I no longer have cable so this is great.

Wrestle PSU and the Ref's.. Carr was not to be denied.

David Carr beat a worthy opponent and the referee. NCAA needs to rein in the stall warnings and calls. I hate to see great matches decided by the official. That was a great match. Messinbrink brought it but Carr was a little better. Also, gotta know score, time, criteria at all times. Fun to watch.

He is a 2x national champ and a 4x conf. champ. He doesnt need to stall. He is not nervous. He is not cautious. Ref made this match way too close.

Wow, He had the hardest Road ever in a tournament! He beat Hamiti, Keegan, and beat a cocky Messenbrink!! Oh, and he beat all the commentators, including Burroughs and DC. They were just rooting against him, but I’m not surprised. Great job Carr!!

Pretty sure those insane stalling calls were from the same Ref, which with video review, made the call that Braeden Davis wasn't taken down by Vinny Kilkeary. This guy is a joke and a PSU homer and shouldn't be allowed to ref in college anymore. He literally tried to steal that match from David Carr. He almost stalled David Carr out of the wrestling match.

Another example where the refs are hyper focused on making sure they insert themselves into the finals match. Stalling is not called like that in a normal dual

that boy carr is a dawg!

Carr was absolutely gassed in the 3rd and it's amazing he pulled it out. Pure heart.

Where all those stall calls during the regular season?🙄 Doesn’t matter though, David Carr is a national champion again!

That Keegan O'Toole vs Mitchell Mesenbrink final is gonna be so hype! Oh wait..... 😂😂😂

This was awesome! Congrats to David Carr, God Bless!

The ref needs to be investigated. That was so beyond absurd.

Wagging your finger while losing and then losing on riding time gotta be one of the funniest things I've seen in wrestling in a long time.

😂 he tried putting the pace on Carr and got double legged instantly

the refs tried to take away it from carr, but he had something else in mind

My friend always says minority wrestlers have to do twice as much. Never really paid attention. Carr gets 2 take down gets hit for stalling 4 times. Dating fix runs stalls whole match gets 1 stalling point. Then later hidlay does the same thing, and doesn't hit. Now I'm seeing what you're saying.

Jeez, the refs are getting so bold in their attempt to steal matches. They aren't even trying to hide it anymore. Investigation worthy.

They were trying to rob him of this title. Other than the push out, which was a warning all those other stalls were based on the refs preferring messenbrinks style. Care did more than other matches that were stalled for the full first and second period. Carr out wrestled him, messenbrink should’ve been down 4 pts in this match, the frustration from the stall calls allowed messenbrink to score. I don’t care if messenbrink fake shots aren’t stalling.

This ref sucks. Just glad he didn’t cost him the match.

Without a doubt the best ncaa wrestling finals ever these guys just did not quit

Im not normally critical of JB but why was so biased agianst Carr. He outwrestled MM and the refs tried to give MM the match. Carr had to beat MM and the refs.

Mesinbrink got a great seed. Keegan really got screwed as the 1 seed with Carr in his half. Its hard to beat a wrestler 9f Carr's calibar so many times before Carr is going to win one of them. Congratulations to Carr he wrestled an amazing Tournament beating KO and Hamiti *Mesinbrink wrestled a great tourney too but Carr deserved the Natty

I'm convinced they found these refs in State College, PA

Refs are wild lol throwing them calls like he was stretching his arms 😭😂

Outstanding tournament for this young man. God bless you!

Couldn't be more disappointed in JB's takes on this match.

They tried ro steal this match good ole america

These refs refuse to give even stall warnings to any of Penn wrestlers, but they give them out like candy to every opponent of theirs 😂 🤡

Awesome match. Congrats to Carr. Well deserved

That booger in David’s nose after the wi was crazy😂

Ref was giving it to Messenbrink.

Please don’t let DC and Burroughs ref these brothers matches!! The whole time talking about how good messenbrink is, even after he lost! Can Carr get some love? 🤡

JB saying “that’s vintage JB” was too much

Congrats to David Carr. A well-deserved win despite a bias referee who needs to check the rule book on stalling.

Those stalling calls were so bad

David Carr is a class act love to see it.

They tried to steal it from him, but they couldn’t do it!!!

Wow what a match

Mitch shouldn’t feel like he did that much in this match. He really only scored 5 points, 3 by escapes and 3 by one takedown. The other three points were given to him by the refs, only 1 of which was probably warranted. The other 2 were totally unnecessary. Carr deserved to win this match. He had 2 takedowns and over 2 minutes of riding time. That is dominance in my book.

David Carr won his 2nd NCAA title when he beat O'Toole in the semis. Didn't think anyone could ever beat O'Toole at 165. Messinbrink showed up for the finals but Carr kicked his ass since the stalling calls and two points against him were BS. But Messinbrink does have a good future in front of him. His biggest mistake this year was telling the press "nobody can keep up with me 7 minutes." Big mistake for the young freshman. He could have never beat O'Toole like Carr did. Carr won it all

That man has Brent Metcalf in his corner…. Yeah I’m not betting against him.

Come a long way since the 2021 Title. Great finish to a college career.

Dude won the best bracket in the tournament.

easily the most intense match of the night

For all weights the best ncaa meet finals ever exciting this is what college wrestling needed

The finger wave and the little antics did not age well. Can’t stop watching this match. Hell of a win by Carr

I’m happy for Carr

Ref should be fired. Or demoted to high school JV matches

Terrible second stall call on Carr. Ref's had an off night all around. The timing on the challenges was irresponsible. I get it, you want to get it correct, but damn you kill momentum.

Carr won, fairly and with heart. Messnebrink learned something and will be back. Stalling has been a problem for years in wrestling and nearly cost the sport the Olympic event. However, the NCAA stalling rules are strange. Since the takedown is now 3 points, why not add a point for pushouts. It would solve several problems. NCAA and US international wrestling is exciting again!

Gibbons and Johnston should be calling the match.

7:05 does anyone know what Metcalf said to the PSU coaches?

what was the stalling call at 7:00?

Officiating is horrible in this match, basically if a PSU wrestler is behind getting taken down it's just automatic stalling on the guy beating them. Then the commentary crew ignoring the champion to heap praise on the officiating aided runner up, really silly stuff. A one team sport isn't healthy for the sport, not sure why anyone covering college wrestling tries to make that a thing so hard.

“maybe some ice cream maybe some gummie bears”😂

That last stall call didn’t even make sense what did they want Carr to turn him while they were both standing? He was actively trying to get him back to the mat

@joegreen9629 Well since the NCAA came out and said, that was a takedown in the Braeden Davis and Vinny Kilkeary won that match and Ref’s need to call it as such. I don’t think I’m the one that needs to learn the rules. And if it wasn’t home Refing how do you explain Ayala not getting any stalling calls in his finals match? Breakdown…Carr shot 3 times in the first and got 1 takedown. Mitchell only took 1 shot in the entire 1st period and that was with 1 second left in the 1st , plus he gave up a ton of ridding time. 2nd period Carr took 3 shots and got 1 takedown. Mitchell took 2 shots zero takedowns. Third period Mitchell took 4 shots with 1 takedown and Carr took 3 shots. Carr took more offensive attacks in the match than Mitchell. Someone for sure needs to learn the rules. And someone should for sure go back to high school.

I wrestled my senior year and that’s all and I’ve watched some ncaa wrestling with actual stalling. They seemed active the entire match, was he using the clock to his advantage yea but sheesh he wasn’t just standing around tired.

PSU coaches at fault for not informing Mess he needed points.

Looks like the refs still haven't changed with their shall we say "selective" use of the stall call to keep the golden boys in matches. Normally, I would chalk it up to a "bad call", but I've been around too long and seen it happen too much.

There are too many stall calls!

That second stalling in the 2nd period was bs. I am glad D.C was announcing. They called him for stalling as he was shooting. So was the one at the beginning of the 3rd. Carr was working to ride. For those saying only one because he stalled, what match were you watching. Carr got two takedowns, and controlled him on top. ( I am a fan of good wrestling and Penn State, but those hating on Carr are off base) Two points Mitch should not have gotten for stalling. Oddly enough that last 30 seconds Carr did not get hit for stalling. That is when he was defending the takedown, but stalling would have been warranted. Great match. The was experience over youth.

David Carr defiently was the "most outstanding" wrestler of the year. Just had a phenomenal year. The National title was the cherry on top.

This ref sucked big time!! They tried to steal the championship from David

Great job David Carr.. let's goooo

Love this kid the stalling calls were total BS !

So Mess forgot about the riding tine??

Messenbrink was Exposed he can't get off the bottom with a really good Wrestler

Did anyone else notice how much trouble Carr was having with his headgear? Kept adjusting it during the match and I seemed to even cause him to get called for stalling at one point. I cannot understand how you can make it to the ncaa championships and not have your headgear completely dialed

Are refs allowed to bet on matches???? Some really questionable stuff by the refs in this one. You could tell the ref wanted to hit Carr with the last stalling and go straight to the bank.

Is that DC on that announcement table?

165 was easily the most stacked division this year

If the singlets were switched only 1 stall would have been called the entire match.

I was flipping out when he got called for a stall while in pursuit of a successful takedown. The refs were horrible this entire tournament

Poor coaching on Caels end wow that was weird saying

Refs tried cheating Carr

The stall calls were excessive early in match. All the comments about crazy stalling by car is ridiculous. He used the mat and moved. Mesenbrink pushed but car moved really well and never gave him a good opening for a shot. Car rode him really tough and the attempts were legit to not get stall calls. Great match and big mistake by Penn state in not sprinting in end, not realizing he was down. I have seen way more backing up and backing out not get stall calls. Personally, push out rule would take away more of the subjective and really help USA internationally for the transition.

100% Jesus 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Should have been the semifinals

Both are very good wrestlers. Mitchell pushes the pace. I believe that that can be both a weakness and strength of his. I think that a wrestler with good offensive capabilities like Carr might pick him apart because of his aggressiveness. Aggressiveness is a wonderful ability and it's tremendously entertaining. But too much aggressiveness just as a lack of aggressiveness can be a weakness. Just look at Jason Nolf. Nolf has been completely neutralized by the defense of Dake and it has resulted in him digging holes for himself at times. I love to watch Mitchell, he's so exciting. But I believe that somebody with David Carr skill level, if they were to not worry about trying to ride him, and wasting a lot of energy to do so, could pick him apart at a takedown game because of Mitchell's haphazard aggressiveness. Although Mitchell is a world champion, at the senior level he's going to run into some people that will make him pay dearly for his haphazard aggressiveness. Just my opinion.

JB is horrible DC called it rt Carr out wrestled Mesenbrink straight facts! refs were absolutely horrendous!

Care had a fat booger at the end

Big Carr!!!!

I like how they kept slipping calling him David Taylor....

All credit to Mesnebrink for a hard fought match, but David Carr beat the ref to win the championship.

Wouldn’t doubt if Mesenbrink goes undefeated for the rest of his college career. So close to Cael’s career undefeated record. Ironically, if the ref hadn’t given Carr the stalling point, he would have been up by 1 on the scoreboard and Mesenbrink would have gone for the takedown in the end instead of being confused. Great job by Carr. Mesenbrink’s last great challenge.

jordan was trying to shoot the ref some bail but fvk that, i'm glad d.c was willing to call him out.

So we can just call timeouts at 6:30 ?

Mitchell Mesenbrink is going to be the next Jason Nolf. Jason also lost to a national champion in the finals during his freshman year.
