Check those totals again, ombré! Imagine, if you will, a world where Penn State get out bonused and still wins a national title....
2018 NCAAs -- Session 3 Thread
- Thread starter Tom McAndrew
- Start date
Yep. I believe TOSU is out of challenges.... so the refs did it for him. Disgrace
Tourney isn't over. At the end of the day, it's possible OSU has 1 or 2 champions and PSU could have 4 or 5 and PSU has a decent draw in the consys, especially Nevills. Even though OSU is in the driver's seat, there is still a lot of wrestling left
Maybe I’m alone here, but each mat has 3 officials right? Why is the third guy not in charge of reviewing? Assuredly reviewing a call wouldn’t be too taxing for him?
throw this out there.....Ok St one of the bluest of blue blood programs of any sport in D1 is in 17th place.
we take jabs all the time at iowa and the HR but 17th..... is just embarrassing. I know they are RSing a bunch of guys but jeez.

Exactly! Potential points are just that. It's a math equation. You have to look at probabilities and the probabilities favor our guys in the semis.
After seeing this morning, I only really see McKenna with a shot at a title. NATO is wrestling well but Lee is muy en fuego, other than that, the *ucknuts don’t look right
Not sure if anyone said this, but tO$U can go 0-5 out of the gate tonight:
Lee vs. Tomasello
Micic vs. Pletcher
Merideth vs. McKenna
Sorensen vs. Hayes
Nolf vs. Micah
We need our guys to come through tonight though. Could definitely make things interesting.

Not even close to done. What will the picture look like if we go 5 for 5 tonight? And there are plenty worse bets than that.
Yes. This is the point. I hope some of the guys on here don't have PSU degrees. If so, they may need some remedial work.
I'm surely not saying that PSU has vaulted to favorite status here, but everyone's right. Tomasello, Pletcher and McKenna are all subject to falling tonight and it would surprise nobody if all three did lose. Hayes WILL lose and be out of the scoring picture and the only way that Jordan beats Nolf is for Nolf to suffer an aggravation to the knee (please God, no). Lee, Nevills and Rasheed all have winnable matches tonight. I think Cenzo and Hall are going to be in tough matches, but I'd bet money right now that we move on more guys than tOSU into the finals moving all 5 along wouldn't surprise me.
In the dual meet, I said we were toast when Lee lost to McKenna....I'm not stating anything this time.
Consolation Round 4 Matchups:
141: Lee vs. Tyler Smith (Bucknell)
197: Rasheed vs. Frank Mattiace (U. of Pennsylvania)
285: Nevills vs. Jere Heino (Campbell)

I need a break. Too many hours of PBP, watching too many screens, etc.
So, I'm out of this thread for now
See you guys tonight for Session 4

Are you sure you aren't forgetting Snyder? Sure he could lose to Coon, but it's going to be an epic rubber match.
I am not forgetting Snyder. He doesn’t look fresh at all. That said, I wouldn’t be surprised if he wins, I wouldn’t be surprised if he takes third.
Boy, it's going start off hot tonight in terms of the team race....... Should be quite the show.
3 Lee vs. 2 Tomasello at 125
3 Pletcher vs. 2 Micic at 133
1 Meredith vs. 4 McKenna at 141
3 Lee vs. 2 Tomasello at 125
3 Pletcher vs. 2 Micic at 133
1 Meredith vs. 4 McKenna at 141
I have a Penn State Chemical Engineering degree. I think I'm qualified to comment on math issues. My MBA from Rutgers was purely utilitarian for resume purposes.
I hope Coon practiced countering the low single.... Watched Snyder attack with it in the quarters.
So let's take a look at Nevills path. Heino next. Win that, probably gets Stoll. Win that, probably gets Kaspar with the winner going to 3rd place match. Not an unreasonable path.
Their performance this weekend was just flat out bad they came in with team trophy expectations
My blue and white colored glasses say we are the favorite now. Down 13.5 heading into tonight -- expect PSU to have more finalists and more champions.
OSU 6 in winners, 3 consolation --PSU 5/3
Nolf clearly needs to win as that is a 14 point swing.
Nato underdog to Lee Zain favorite over Heilmann
Pletcher underdog to Micic Nolf favorite over Micah
McKenna underdog to Meredith Joseph favorite over McFadden
Micah underdog to Nolf Hall favorite over Lewis
Martin favorite over Zavatsky Nickel favorite over Abounader
Snyder favorite over Kasper
2-4 very possible
Hayes underdog to Sorensen
Bo favorite over Harvey and Smith/Lujan winner
Moore favorite over Wilcke and Mattiace/Rasheed winner
Lee favorite over T.Smith and Carr/Perry winner
Shak favorite over Mattaice and underdog vs. Moore
Nevills favorite Heino and Stoll/Butler winner
If that all happens, big IF, we'd be up 8 (+/- bonuses) going into Saturday. OSU would have more points available on Saturday because of consolation semis.

Rasheed's path is more daunting. First up is Mattiace. Win that, probably gets Moore. Win that, probably gets Haught with the winner to the 3rd place match.
Well done. Chem E is one of the most difficult PSU undergrad degrees.
Awesome wrestling today. So worth taking a couple days off work to watch. Aside from the great Semi's tonight. The consolation matches are fascinating too with the losers below going home empty handed.
Lavallee vs Kemdog
Marsteller vs R. Lewis
Heil vs Chad Red
Lizak vs Picc
Hayes vs Sorensen
Lavallee vs Kemdog
Marsteller vs R. Lewis
Heil vs Chad Red
Lizak vs Picc
Hayes vs Sorensen
Yeah. shak did himself no favors today. Still think he can beat all those guys but needs to tighten things up
After tonite's session you will have it in the bag.
