Excitement, Pitt style!

[El-Jefe]

So excited at getting 5 to nationals, they gave it to a 6th guy in the article (157) who didn't actually qualify.

PS, zero champs in a 6-team conference.

PPS, Young Guns in their backyard and in-state PA tuition.

Maybe he'll get an at-large and is actually 5b?

Not one match with bonus points.

I went down to Cville and watched the first two rounds (up to semi's). Few Pitt wrestlers looked good. What i thought was interesting is that it seemed like half of the semi-finalist had Pa HS roots... Pa is strong down in the ACC territory!

That's really not too surprising in a conference championship. At that level, both finalists are generally pretty good and non-bonus matches the norm.

Which finals match should've had bonus?

In the B10, 2 finals matches had bonus. 3 went to OT.
