Well, here it is! The final round already. It's been a wild few days and it's about to cap tonight with five PSU representatives battling for an individual NCAA championship live on ESPN (8 p.m) after they've already locked up the team title. Nico Megaludis, who is in his third national final appearance, will start it off. Then Zain Retherford, Jason Nolf. Bp Nickal and Morgan McIntosh, in order. Same type pf thing as last night's semis. I'll be chasing interviews, but also posting updates as often as possible so feel free to chime in whenever.
Anyone have predictions? I'm thinking that Penn State finishes with at least four champs, but I've been wrong a lot this tourney, so feel free to chime in with your opinion. Looking forward, and thank you again to everyone who has followed along the last few days and have helped out. Really means a lot!
