Wrestling 2023 NCAA Tournament Live Thread

FWIW, they need to pull this tournament in by a week to avoid basketball and 10 bouts shouldn't take 3+ hours
So who do you thinks broadcasts the tournament? Move the tournament by a week ESPN is busy broadcasting conference basketball tournaments. We can go back to tape delay, or 100 percent streaming.
 
I think Sasso’s style plays too well into Yianni’s. SVN would have beaten him with just a little more savvy at the end.

Boy, we really get lost in the weeds when the team title is a formality. Just my thought, but part of me thinks that LDS is like "close enough" to be considered under the Christianity umbrella.
Pretty sure Moroni would fall in the false prophet category also, real, or not. Personally, I am an atheist and don't care one way or another. More power to them all.

Wow. That third period was fabulous. Sasso came shockingly close to a tying takedown on a scramble off a shot that Yianni initiated. No stalling there, for sure!
That is Sasso's bread and butter - give up a leg and scramble into a TD. He's very good at this and would have had the tying TD against Yianni with another couple seconds.
 
This year's tournament was the best I can remember. Unexpected outcomes from the first round to the Finals. Exciting matches to showcase our great sport in the semis and finals, unlike some 1-1 OT snoozefests that have been showcased in the past. I think the sport likely picked up some new fans tonight!

Our finals weren't what we are used to, going 2-3, but I can't even say I'm disappointed. We essentially wrapped the team title up Friday night, had 8 AAs, and outperformed our seeds at many weights.

I feel for RBY and Dean, as I'm sure this isn't how they envisioned to close our their college careers, but I can't wait to see where they go next.

This tournament made me even more excited about next year. We have the next wave geared up and ready to take the torch! Levi, Bartlett, and even Facundo are going to be lights out next year, and hopefully, we get to see AB and CStar go for their 4th.

It's a great night to be a PSU Wrestling fan!
