2024 NCAA's - Match/discussion threads (merged)

148 points.

Six finalists. If they all win by decision, it’s +24 and PSU sets a new scoring record.

If five of the six finalists win, it’s +20. That’s 168. A win by either Kasak or Truax in the consolation semifinals is +3.5 and it’s a new scoring record.

If four of the six finalists win and both Kasak and Truax win their consolation semifinal, it’s +23 and Penn State sets a new scoring record.

None of the above includes bonus and I haven’t talked about 3rd place for either Kasak or Truax.

The scoring record is definitely in play.

We are doing this!
 
Our lead is more points than the next best team has as a total, and then some.

But he just gifted away the major. Major clueless moment
It's pretty cool that this is the kind of complaint we're left with.

So much for being a threat to Kerk.
Bastida might have been a threat to Kerk. But seems he couldn't mentally recover from that heart-breaking, last-second loss to Davidson in the quarters. Just mentally tapped out for the blood round.
