2021 NCAAs

[Tom McAndrew]

I'm setting this up the night before, so I have one less thing to do Thursday morning. Is this the best three days of the year?

Please use this for all pre-session, in-session, and post-session discussions. If you're replying to another post, please use the Quote function.

When:
Thursday, March 18, 11 am EDT

Where:
St. Louis, MO

TV:
ESPNU

Video Stream:
EPSN3 -- they'll have coverage on all 8 mats. You can watch multiple mats simultaneously on your computer, or watch only 1 mat -- you decide.

Audio Stream:
Jeff Byers's radio PBP will be streamed. The pre-session/tournament segment will start at 10:40 am EDT, with the wrestling coverage starting at 11 am EDT. You can access the audio stream at:

2021 NCAA Wrestling Championship Session 1a

Video: 2021 NCAA Wrestling Championship Session 1a. Wrestling

gopsusports.com

PBP:
I'll provide coverage of as many PSU matches as I can (basically, all of them, unless two PSUers end up wrestling at the same time).

Team Scoring:
The best place, IMHO, to get updated team scoring is the Penn State Wrestling Club's web site. You can access the virtual team scoring at:

Penn State Wrestling Club

PSU Sports, college wrestling, stats, schedules, merchandise, clothing, rosters

www.pennstatewrestlingclub.org

Mat Assignments:
I post upcoming PSU mat assignments as I learn of them. Others do as well; we try to help each other out during NCAAs. The best sources I have found for mat assignments in past Nationals were TrackWrestling (go to their dashboard) or the Twitter account of Penn State Wresting (@pennstateWREST).

It will be interesting seeing posts from members of the community that traditionally attend Nationals every year.

As always, this should be fun.

If you have a Flo subscription, you can go to the FloArena, pick 2021 NCAA Division 1 Championships, pick Team & Competitors, and turn on alerts for whatever team you want, or individual wrestlers within the brackets. I choose both Mat Assignments and Results, to my cellphone. Works great.

Do you need a subscription to get live results in FloArena?

 

[dunkej01]

Merry wrestlemas!

May our day be blessed and healthy.

 

[PSUer1989]

Will session 1 last right up to session 2? I need to pick my car up from the shop today, and trying to figure out when to go if it isn’t done this morning😟

There is an hour break from 1pm-2pm Eastern

 

[Nitt Fan]

Nope. I put Arena on my laptop and ESPN 3 on my smart tv. Choose what mat (or mats) you want to watch. Byers on radio and I am all set.

I think I can make it work! Thanks!

 

[SWPA]

Howard vs. Heinselman
In the hole on mat 2

It's time!

This ^
Since ESPN3 has been covering all 8 mats with the ability of showing 4 selected mats at a time; and with trackwrestling's dashboard queuing the bouts on each mat; it is actually easier to watch the action than when sitting in the arena. Sure, the social interaction and charged atmosphere of the arena is missing, but in small consolation, the trip to the bathroom and concession lines are a lot shorter....and, your beverage of choice is always close at hand

 

[Rhino80]

I think its time for a beer

 

[fortheglory94]

Annually, the best thread of the year. My adrenaline starts pumping whenever I see it appear on the board. Let's go State!

 

[Str8DBLz]

Let's Go Boys!!!

 

[rmg78]

Knock on wood, but glad to see that there have not been any positive tests reported get.

 

[NittanyChris]

Let’s Gooooooooooo!!!

My pick for Nittanychris Lion most likely to OVERPERFORM their seed...BEARD!!!

 

[TILTER88]

There has not been much discussion over Berge not wrestling in the medal rounds at B1Gs. I am hoping that is a good thing!! That being said, with all that has gone on in the past 12 months, I will finally be able to exhale when I hear all of our guys are there and wrestling! That may actually be my first drink of the day...

 

[5q]

Let’s go gentlemen
We will be cheering for you

LETS GO STATE

 

[Shifty15]

It is 5:00 in Italy when NCAAs begin...just in case anyone is stuck on the 5:00 rule!

Bullish on Berge!

Byers is up and running on LionVision

 

[RoarLions1]

Your time wrestlers. Have fun out there! We'll be rooting for ya.

Northern Iowa's Brody Teske is on deck on mat 1.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

50 of the 300 contestants at NCAAs are from Pennsylvania

 

[capkrokus]

Were there any Covid casualties for any of the qualified wrestlers from any school.

 

[Dogwelder]

50 of the 300 contestants at NCAAs are from Pennsylvania

Wow. That’s like 49 guys pay for the meal, and Pennsylvania pays the whole tip by himself.

 

[CoolBean]

The benefit of working from home, I will have all the channels on TV, phone and Laptops....but I have a stinking meeting starting @ 11AM so please be generous on the updates.
Thank you very much!

[dmm53]

Is anyone getting the live stream on ESPN yet (computer not TV)?

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Great ... I try to load Mat 2 on ESPN3, and get a message that says, "This content is not available for your package or region." Such BS, since I've watched it for years.

 

[Grass]

Not yet.

 

[1AA]

Show the wrestling!
