It’s funny to me that over 80% of our pool teams won’t beat Penn State.

That being said, excited for the finals. This is why we wrestle… to bring home a team trophy…

They picked multiple #1s & no #3 or 8. Just saying.

 

[Guillotine King]

Four #1’s and two #2’s. I guess they are cheaters after all.

PSU margin of victory is currently 84.5 and is only going to grow. No one is betting against this one. It's been taken off the betting line.

PSU 160.5 after Kerk win

After a 37 year streak of AAs, St Eds missed in 2019-2021 (no NCAAs in 2020 w/ covid). Andonian (and Campbell last year) has them back on the board w/ 3 years running. Not sure if I'm missing anyone this year. W/ this being his SR year, who's best suited to continue the streak?

Paddy Gallagher and Luke Geog are the best two guys in college right now I believe

 

[Yankeefan33]

Caleb Henson- first ever NCAA champ from the state of Georgia. State on the rise for sure

 

[bdhof]

Nice match for Carr. I thought the stall calls were way too aggressive. Did Messenbrink not know Carr had riding time?

 

[Pope Francis 1]

Nice match for Carr. I thought the stall calls were way too aggressive. Did Messenbrink not know Carr had riding time?

Very quick stall calls IMHO.
And Messenbrink obviously didn’t realize the riding time.

Starocci win puts PSU at 168.5

Very quick stall calls IMHO.

The Mess, Star, and Brooks matches were all full of BS stall calls against the PSU opponents in all 3. Only Carr was able to over come the official.

The Mess, Star, and Brooks matches were all full of BS stall calls against the PSU opponents in all 3. Only Carr was able to over come the official.

this is golden
