A little bit of a different feel tonight, as Penn State only has one finalist this evening. (I'm actually going to be able to watch most of the matches, instead of chasing everyone around the hallways for interviews.) But it should be a good evening with some intriguing matchups.
Action gets started in about 10 minutes on ESPN if you want to tune in. We can use this thread for any convo. I'll update match results here, too, and once Matt Brown is up I'll post my normal period-by-period update.
Any questions on the tournament? Feel free to fire away, I'm here.
