Division 2 NCAA Champ vs Division 3 NCAA Champ! | Nick Novak vs Nolan Hertel 

FWIW, I think flo should make such a showcase for some D2/D3 wrestlers a regular staple of the classic rather than a last minute fill in.

Do this every year for every weight class. Winner faces D1.

This was a good match to watch. Always great to listen to DT's commentary.

D2 n d3 underrated. Nobody uploads matches from these schools on yt.

Great match, couple of true brawlers. Both have solid cardio. Much respect.

What a great match by these 2 young men.

This is sick! More of these each year.

It would be fun if the champ of d2 and d3 were put in a pigtail for d1 NCAA’s.

This was epic highlighting d2/d3 wrestlers!

D2,D3 Champs should be able to wrestle in the Division NCAA tournament.

They both are champions

When I saw this match earlier in the week, I was shocked out how lackluster they were. After having some time to reflect on it, I think they were just overwhelmed by the situation. They were literally wrestling in front of the top D1 wrestlers in the country. You could tell they were just both focused on not making any mistakes, unwilling to take any risks to score. Great wrestlers and I'd like to see them get more high profile opportunities.

Not much difference in D2 and D3. If they are against D1 Penn State, look out!

Great match

Great match!🇺🇸

Tbh -- the whole "Div 2 vs Div 3" is just a meme at this level, window dressing to sell the match. None of it factors here. The reality is much more mundane: two equally matched, but physically different wrestlers working very hard for any opening. A grueling endurance test of a double overtime that simply came down to a slight edge of raw determination.

The top, are the top for a reason. They probably place in D1.

Division 3 is the best division imo

Still do not understand why D2 and D3 wrestlers don't get an at large bid in D1 NCAA tournament. They are all NCAA, but that shows you the incompetence of the NCAA. they'd rather have a wrestler with a losing record who doesn't deserve to be in there. I believe this will even make wrestling look like a better product and more competitive.

Winner should wrestle the D1 champ.

Go UW LaCrosse

Any wrestler using the technique from top should immediately be charged with stalling. The entire series was designed only for riding time. No moves are setup, no real wrestling technique is required... I think Kyle Dake perfected this stalling in NCAA folkstyle.

Hertal stalled the whole match.

D3 champ won. There's not much difference between D2/D3.

😴

I've seen more exciting Hwt matches.

They both are fish

Why don’t wrestlers push out off the elbow to low singles there is about 40 moves you can do what
