NCAA DIVISION I WRESTLING CHAMPIONSHIPS


March 16, 2007


Cole Konrad


AUBURN HILLS, MICHIGAN

COLE KONRAD: It's definitely on your mind. I sat on the edge warming up, watching the whole time. It makes a difference. We're a close group of guys. It's tough to watch them lose, especially when you see how hard they work. It plays a role in how I wrestle, too, but not that much.

Q. Cole, talk about this last match, 2-1 victory. What does Waterson do that he was able to keep it closer than some of the guys have this year?
COLE KONRAD: Nothing. Made sure I didn't score. That's all he did. He blocked a lot. He took a couple of shots, but they didn't have any heart behind them. That's what they did. I did what I had to do to win. That's all you have to do in these matches. Winning a national title is a national title. I don't care what the score was. That was my mentality going into it. I didn't want to make any dumb mistakes. He if do make a mistake he gets a takedown, then what do I do, force it. And then they decide the match for you. I'm going play smart. If I can ride him, I'm going to ride him, and I did.

Q. Would you expect Anspach to wrestle you any different tomorrow night than what he did?
COLE KONRAD: I hope so. It actually depends. He backed up a lot. He's not giving him a chance to win. I'm expecting that's how he'll wrestle. It's going to be a battle. I don't care what it was last time. It's a national final. They'll be going all out.
