Throwing this out there now in advance of tomorrow's action. Feel free to use this thread for any and all match discussions and PBP's. As always, if you are replying to another post, please remember to use the Quote function. And please try to avoid those vague "Wow"'s, "Holy Crap"'s and "WTF"'s type posts - provide some friggin' context, for cryin' out loud! ;-)

When:
Thursday, March 21 at 12 pm EDT (Session 1), and at 7 pm (Session 2).

Where:
@ Kansas City (T-Mobile Center)

TV:
12 p.m., March 21 – First Round (Session 1) on ESPNU and ESPN+

PBP:
Hopefully, someone will step up and provide some PBP. As always, please remember to provide the score at the end of the match. Thanks!

Mat assignments can be found here: https://bubbaland.net/wrestling/NCAA_Wrestling_Championships_2024.htm and https://twitter.com/pennstateWREST.

Team Scores:
The best source for team scoring throughout the tournament is the Penn State Wrestling Club's website. Their link for live team scoring is: https://pennstatewrestlingclub.org/. Learn it, Know it, Live it. And don't forget it!

Brackets:
Lastly, here are the brackets once again (in PDF) (still have Cornella at 141): https://www.ncaa.com/_flysystem/public-s3/images/2024/03/13/2024NCAAd1Wrestlingbrackets.pdf

Starting at 12 Et tomorrow is horseshit. Should start right after I get my kid on school bus. No downtime!

I’m going to be fussing around the house for 3+ hours.
Screw it.

Drinking straight through tonight and will be wasted until it starts.

For us this is straight up Christmas Eve.
 
Always schedule an appt Thursday morning and Friday morning. Then home with the 4 monitors ready to roll. Without that little bit of work I might chew my own arm off.

Oh $hit! Not sure if it's my dyslexia or my own stupidity but when reading ItalianLion's pinned schedule thread I mixed up 12 pm and 10 am (local) and thought the festivities started at 10 am. Oh well, joy delayed for 2 hours :(
 
Imagine how far this kid could go if he had any confidence in himself :)

It's funny, I rewatched Carter's All Star Classic match against Mekhi tonight while exercising and DT was commentating about how he's never met a more fierce competitor than Carter. He mentioned Carter declaring he will be a 4-time nat'l champ and Olympic gold medalist this year and then DT said (paraphrasing): "When Carter says something, he really believes it. You may not believe it, but I promise you he does." :D

I woke up to 10" of snow up here in Maine. It'll take me til almost noon to get plowed out. I'm ok with the the start time! Although I'm cutting some corners to get things cleaned up.

That's about what we got over my way. I'll be boiling sap and listening to JB on the radio. Sure hope these high winds dont interfere with our service. We have another storm blowing in on Saturday. The timing sucks.

This is the first NCAAs I remember that I have work. Previously, they always were during my spring break (last week 🙁). I don’t have class tomorrow, but teach until 2:00 today. I haven’t decided whether to have the lighter weights on my computer to glance at watch when I can, or to wait and watch them on delay when I get home

If you wait to watch on delay don’t check the board before you watch.

Looks like the PSWC is requiring you to create a membership in order to see their live brackets and scoring. Does anyone know of any free websites that will have this info or do I need to spring for $35 membership?

PSWC will still update for you without dropping 35 bones, it will just do so faster if you have a membership.

As an aside, the membership is well worth the 3 bucks a month.
