Actually it's exactly like every other championship team that Cael has: 9 wrestlers go to Nationals and 5 or 6 of them make deep runs or title runs, and we win the thing.

Understood. Maybe a case of him being too confident against lesser wrestlers since I’m sure Askren has taught him all about the positions to exploit and to stay away from.
I keep wondering what it must be like for Caliendo to be utterly annihilated yet again by Mitchell. I wonder what It does to the psyche of an elite athlete at the top of his sport, to know that he has absolutely no chance against an opponent who completely destroys him. If the Brands Bros were wise (I know, I know), they’d have been paging the Sports Psychologist STAT by the middle of the 2nd.

AaronN has had to deal with a tough early injury and then tough bout with the flu late… he hasn’t been his self all yr!
Gibbons commented on Mitchell's uncanny ability to get out of positions and situations that aren't favorable to him. This is gonna come in handy today.
Not sure what you mean about Nageo; he looks to be the same guy at B1Gs that we’ve seen much of the season.
Also not sure what you refer to about blowing things out of proportion with Starocci. The two medical defaults were completely to be expected. Or am I missing something?
Nageo just needs to wrestle with the same urgency in the first two periods that he does in the third.
If MM doesn't get caught he'll wear Hamiti down and win it in the third with a big takedown.
Yeah. I wonder if Mitchell is an orca who just ate great-white-shark Caliendo’s liver with fava beans. 🤔
MM has been like this all season. I think he has a phobia with blood. Which is kinda strange considering he's a straight up killa...
They will be wrestling for 1st, 3rd, or 5th tonight. Three mats simultaneously.
So all 9 PSU guys will be wrestling tonight.
Big Ten Network has posted all semifinal matches without the split screen here:
Looks like we have mini tournies on now to get the last qualifying spot. Guessing that rolls right into consis?
No idea. Was hoping someone with that info would start a day 2 thread. Didn’t see one so figured some could chime in with more info
Next round. This round is non-scoring for team race. It's a "mini tournament" to determine remaining automatic qualifiers. Our guys will be in the next round.
They're in the Consi-Semis (they place directly into Consi-Semis).... This is Consi-Quaters. If they win, they wrestle for 3rd this afternoon in last session. If they lose they wrestle for 5th Place.
