Wrestling 2022 NCAA Championships Results and Discussion threads

[McScoreley]

We're up by 23.5. If Michigan's 4 guys all get 3rd tomorrow without bonus, they get 18 (and that's assuming Kerk loses out lol) Then assuming a Suriano decision win, if we counter with a Lee decision win (only guy who is a noticeable favorite over his counterpart in the finals), then Myles needs to pin Aaron Brooks to get the team title win. I'm pretty sure Kerk has Parris and if he wins, that more or less ends Michigan.

So, we're sitting pretty good overall.

I don't need to know any math or do any math to know it is locked up.

Here's my annual "I'm drunk and angry at numbers, cause there's too damn many of them".

 

[LongJakk]

Kerk needs to get a lite bigger, without losing any quickness just like gable did after Cassar beat him. Even if he can do that I still don't think he'll be better than gable. Gable is a unicorn.

 

[creamery freak]

I hate Schultz

Except when he beat Parris earlier today, then I liked him.

[El-Jefe]

Beckman continues to obliterate the irony meter.

 

[Cali_Nittany]

I may get hammered for this but I think he and Kerk are friends and he did what he had to do and not much more.

 

[CJFisJoePaII]

Penn State with 5 finalists. Where have I seen this before?

Like I said after B1Gs - PSU would replicate their 5 B1G Finalists at Nationals and scUM wouldn't. Predicted PSU would have 5 Finalists and 6 or 7 AAs.... and since nobody else could match this top-end firepower, that PSU would win easily while Gunsie was busy telling us how much trouble we were in because we had too many holes in our lineup... blah, blah, blah.......

 

[PSU_Lion_Fan]

45-5

That is a 90% win percentage. Absolutely insane!

Michigan is looking at 4th and 10 and a full court press.
In all seriousness barring a monumental collapse this thing is over. It’s got to be like a 1/1000 likelihood Michigan catches the good guys.

 

[PSUeng]

If just Lee wins do we win this

He’s salty because now he’s not the best Reynolds kid in the last 50 years.

Wasn't Schultz one of the highest team-point scorers of the Tournament thru the 4th RD???

 

[Raw Daddy]

We had to go 6 for 6 tonight to not go backwards.

 

[McScoreley]

Tomorrow morning:

Lewan vs Carr
Amine vs Hamiti
Massa vs Kemerer
Parris vs Kerk

Yeah I feel pretty good about those anti Michigan matchups (except maybe Kemerer but damn, he's battling)

 

[psualt]

Some perspective…wow

 

[Waste Management Consultant]

Gable is nothing like he was first couple years in college. Really blossomed into a pretty cool dude and respectful of his opponents.

I think a lot of that was Cassar making him humble.

 

[Still in State College]

Lewan vs Carr - advantage Carr
Amine vs Hamiti - push slight edge Hamiti
Massa vs Kemerer - push
Parris vs Kerkvliet - advantage Kerk

That coukd be a lot of 5/6 matches.

I am thinking if things break correctly...

[nitlion6]

Collar ties / contact throughout. Like watching Marinelli, really.

Why not. Look how much success Marinelli has had with that strategy.

 

[PAgeologist]

Get real, brah. Ant the Champ made Gable the man he is.

I certainly think Ant instilled humility into Gable. I think that experience focused Gable into the machine we see today.

 

[jmadden1998]

Greg is the 2nd best heavyweight in the country.

Except he’s 0-3 against Cassioppi.

 

[dicemen99]

This aged like fine milk.

Yup.

Kind of like all the angst about the backside paths for our guys when the seeds came out.

You summed it up very well before - the best backside path is to stay on the front side as long as possible. Although a lot of our posters seem to forget that, Cael and company have that figured out.

The Beatles .. . plus one (the photo got cropped)

One of the best statements by Pyles since he peed himself asking Cael if he had a plan.

 

[RealMicah]

Except he’s 0-3 against Cassioppi.

This is true. Crazy how this breaks down. Kerk beats Parris. Cass beats Kerk. Parris beats Cass. None beat Gable but Kerk wrestled him the closest of the three.

 

[mcpat]

It’s 108 to 84.5 right now.

Assume Lewan, Amine, Massa and Parris ALL take 3rd. (They’ll need to beat the likes of Carr, Hamiti, Kemerer, Kerkvliet, etc.) but let’s say they do.

And Kerk doesn’t win again.

But no bonus.

Then it’s 108 PSU to 102.5 to start the finals.

Suriano wins by decision. Now it’s 108 - 106.5.

If PSU wins any final (and Brooks vs Amine is one of them), then Penn State wins the team championship.

Someone check me. I was too drunk three hours ago to see ADS pelican kick RBY.

Prime example of why transitive property doesn't work for wrestling.

 

[1AA]

God damn I enjoy the semi finals!!!!

 

[nitlion6]

Iowa might win the EIWAs at this rate

The Hawks would give Lehigh and Cornell a go.

 

[creamery freak]

Except he’s 0-3 against Cassioppi.

Some things are going to start changing.

 

[dmm53]

The Hawks would give Lehigh and Cornell a go.

I give them a fighter's chance at the Luther Open next year.

 

[nitlion6]

I wonder how the Yianni interview would have gone after his match with Nick Lee if this one was after a win.

"I wasn't really trying! Just ask my fan club."

 

[The Japanese Whizzer]

Except he’s 0-3 against Cassioppi.

Hang onto this summer with your 4th place trophy

Enjoy the night. Hammer a few more down. Enjoy the night. Figure it out in the AM. Or the Crack of Noon. Whichever.

Probably 3rd

I'm pretty sure Kerk has Parris and if he wins, that more or less ends Michigan.

So, we're sitting pretty good overall.

Lewan gets Carr in the consolation semis. Carr hasn't looked great, but has managed to win four straight in the backside bracket. Teemer and Robb are on the other side.

Amine gets Hamiti. Wick and Marinelli are on the other side.

Massa gets Kemerer, who despite the injured wing has won two straight in the consolations. Hidlay and Plott are on the other side.

Parris gets Kerk. The winner of that match may be the favorite for 3rd place. Wood and Davison are on the other side.

That's a tough road for Lewan and Amine, though these two usually wrestle close matches. Massa may have a slightly easier path, given Kemerer's injury. The toughest match for Parris is probably Kerk.

 

[El-Jefe]

Except he’s 0-3 against Cassioppi.

And still will be looking up the podium at Kerk.

 

[PAgeologist]

But could they win the Hawkeye Open?
