2025 Big Ten Tournament thread

Maybe not the very best from some of the PSU guys. However:

Vombaur over Bartlett was only a mild upset IMO.

Cardenas beating Barr is not an upset. Barr hasn't come close to getting a TD against Cardenas in two matches.

The biggest suprise by far was the SVN loss to Webster. Did not see that one coming.
These are accurate assessments. I agree. Still, I really believe we have not shown our best yet .. which is...normal. 😂

Our best is coming in 11 days. 😉
 
It looks like they're starting with the mini-tournaments for NCAA qualification. If Cruz wins, he goes to a 9th place match (9 allocations for 125) vs McCrone if he holds his lead.

Edit: all right, it's Cruz vs McCrone for the last automatic allocation with the loser waiting for a possible wildcard.
How does team score work in these? I know there are no advancement or placement scores, but do bonus scores count?
 
Winning this session in consy semis is 3 points plus 0.5 advancement plus bonus. Winning consy finals tonight is worth 1 point plus bonus.

Winning tonight in finals is worth 4 points plus bonus.

We have 6 in finals compared to Nebraska's 4.
We have 4 in consys compared to Nebraska's 3.

Nebraska has 2 weights they can score any more points plus 1 person going for 7th.
 
We have 4 wrestling soon in consy semis. They wrestle one match this session. They will wrestle tonight for 3rd or 5th depending if they win or lose this session.
 
I’m talking about how many points for a consolation win? And the finals win?
Here you go.

How are we feeling about Kerk v Gable today? I understand Gable is the favorite but the entire wrestling community acting as though it's a foregone conclusion is a bit insulting. I'll say Gable by 4 or 5 points, but wouldn't be stunned if Kerk pulls off the upset.
 
Will all the matches be posted on youtube afterwards? I cannot get my dang Fox Sports App to work even though I clearly have BTN back home...

Can’t see Kerk having any chance except from top. How to get there and be in striking distance, well I don’t have all the answers.

It was said by TV announcers last night that Kerk might be able to do some damage on top.
