So if everything went to seed next round (champion/consi):
tOSU 5-0, 2-1
OSU 3-4, 3-0
Iowa 4-2, 0-2, 1 unseeded
PSU 5-2, 1-0

I agree with FT, the Tommy boys are the one to watch out for.

I have been optomistic all along. The first two Sessions are even more encouraging. Long way to go, but the Collica loss is huge. Crutchmer and Schaefer can fight their way back to their seed, Collica can't.

The key is to do what Cael's Penn State teams do. Keep winning longer than the other guys.

No matter what, it will not be over after tomorrow morning's round, but Iowa may be giving notice they are THE threat.

Iowa may be the threat to exit early. Those matchups are horrible for them -- conceivably only Gilman and Brooks advance, and all 3 guys in consis are underdogs. Hopefully they do a little better than that -- 141 and 174 would be huge for us -- but this could get really ugly.

Live from STL...

Great day of wrestling. Late so don't have time to read even a little bit of this thread.

15-1, with 15 Advancement, and 15.5 Bonus Points should make everyone happy . The tournament really picks up steam on day 2, as the Placement Points kick in. Session 3 winners in the Championship bracket are AA's, as they can't do worse than 6th. I like us in many of those match-ups. Lots of wrestling left. To tikk, Gumby, Androcles, NoVa, hockeygod, and the several others that made it to McGurk's today...thanks for a wonderful time between sessions, to meet and talk wrestling.

Good luck to the boys tomorrow. Very important day...from what I hear , they're loose and ready for the next challenge.

Bo on the mat, so of course ESPN has gone to a commercial break.....what a joke, PSU is leading the Tournament and they've only shown like 30 seconds of PSU wrestlers. This is why this broadcaster is going bankrupt....they're phucking awful....

Your constant whining about ESPN coverage is more annoying than the characters everyone is so quick to pile up on this board. ESPN's coverage has been a game changer for the sport. We should be thankful for their full coverage. If you have access to ESPN you have access to ESPN 3 and EVERY match that is being wrestled. If you had connection issues thats a cable service issue not ESPN. Save your vitrol for OKST OSU and IOWA

actually, PSU would be 4-3, 1-0 by seed, but let's plan for 7 AA's this morning

Oops, you're right. I reversed Hall-Epperly. But yes, I agree, 7 AAs.
