Has anybody done the math for B10's, assuming we get 0 now at 174? I know the tournament is always tighter than NCAA's. Does this give Iowa a chance to catch us?
CSTAR's injury impact on B10's

- Start date
We have now found the person who cares about the Big Ten Tournament team score.
See the big prize. Hint...It's not a BIG team title. That's just another speed bump.
Well I would say that I care about Big Ten score, but definitely more interested in NCAA. What can I say, I want it all!
You'll find a whole field of them over on GIA.
I've come to enjoy the short glimmer of hope we give other teams the handful of times we haven't won Big Ten's only to turnaround and win nationals. Cael has been very clear their training cycle is focused squarely on being their best come the national tournament, they want to win the other stuff, but those aren't the most important things. Does anyone really care that Ohio State or Michigan won Big Ten's when PSU was the National Champion 2 weeks later? Conversely, would we have cared that we won Big Ten's in 2011 only to see Iowa win the National Championship?
Damn I guess I set myself up on that one. Funny replies though!
You must be new here.
FACT: in the last 12 full seasons (not including Covid year), PSU has 7 BIG10 championships and 10 NCAA Championships. I don't care about BIG10 championships as I don't think Cael and team care. Only concern is getting all 10 qualified for Nationals.
I get it, PSU do what PSU do, and that is enough.
Cut ftS some slack though--it's a fair question, and I'm looking forward to seeing someone's analysis (but I don't care enough to do it myself, lol).

All in good fun findtheStrength!! Any opinion on:
1. the number of scoring wrestlers needed for NCAA hat we need?
2. who is beating Nico in the room?
3. How Spyker can be at the OSU/PSU wrestling match and the PSU hockey game at the same time?
4. why wrestlers don't hit the easy duck under when behind by 3 or less in short time as it is always there for the taking?
Seriously, glad you are here and posting. This is a fun time of year

Thanks jmadden. you are a valuable poster, no matter what everyone else says
I care; I always care when we step on the mat. Roar cared enough to put a lot of time into his seeding projections. Over 12K views of his thread tells me that several others care.
CAVEAT: The following is only for those who care; others can butt out.
To answer the OP, Carter's absence will make the Bigs uncomfortably close, IMO. In fact, I expect Iowa will hold a lead going into the semis. IF Roar's seeds hold, they will have 8 wrestlers going in the opening round and 6 favored to reach the semis, compared to 4 and 7 (minus Carter) for PSU.
If we wrestle to our seeds, we win, but I suspect the championship will still be in doubt at the start of the finals.

I believe (or at least hope) jmadden knows he's an extremely valued member of this board. All the back and forths with him are just of the friendly ribbing nature.
1. 11
2. Cael, but only with assists from Cody and Casey.
3. It's obvious. Spyker=Jesus.
4. It's a question that will never be answered. Much like the number of actual licks to get to the center of a Tootsie pop.
Same here. Plus always important for ncaa seeds I get it’s not gonna matter for team but very important for the individuals.
That picture says either,we are exhausted and burned out or we are maintaining our focus on nationals.
I think it says "we just went 0-4 in the finals and now have to share this worthless banner with OSU".
No way we get zero at 174. Worst case is Ruth wins his QF match and then defiaults to 6th. That would be 7 points and we win by 40+ instead of 50+ points.
Ruth? Does Ed have eligibility or is Edmond doing a last minute transfer?
