It has a ton also to do with who you beat. 
Sasso had wins over the #1,7,8,9 and 10 seeds also having beaten 2 of the 3 guys he lost 2. He also, admittedly gained the benefit of basically ignoring the “fluky” loss by fall. 
Brooks had wins over # 6,7 and 11 while only wrestling 16 matches. Sasso wrestled 27.
I find it a bit funny that you argue 18 matches for Lee not being enough while endorsing a guy with less matches in this case......

For me this one is simple currently if it’s college wrestling specific.
1. Pat Smith
2. Cael Sanderson
3. Kyle Dake
4. Logan Stieber

Its one of the weirdest things I have seen, but I couldnt stop watching. You will be glad you watched it. 

The greatest testament to the job Cary Kolat did at Campbell is it actually has some wrestling fans wondering if it is a better job than Navy.
Ask any non-wrestling fan outside of the southeast region if they'd ever heard of Campbell University.  After they say no, ask them if they'd be proud to say their son went to the United States Naval Academy.
Good hire, and a no-brainer all-around.

I respect this awesome rivalry in every sport...and say to you Go Navy! beat Army! And the same I root for Army except vs. Navy. Oh I guess those guys in Colorado also
 
 

Lats -Ed Ruth
Dad Bod-Ben Askren 
Rib Cage-Mike Zadick
Traps-Brock Lesnar
Best Tan-Lance Palmer 
I skip leg day-everyone at Iowa
Every day is chest day-NATO
Honey I shrunk the kids-OKSt.
Honey I blew up the kids-Penn State
Overall specimen-Kevin Randleman
 
 

I think Kolat’s attitude and philosophies will mesh well with those at Annapolis. 
He’ll ratchet up the sense of urgency and commitment among the wrestlers, and will bring out the best in them. He’ll also draw some “fence-sitters”...guys who were thinking about the Academy already, and who will now sign because Kolat will be there. 
Kolat will also likely bring in new blood in the coaching ranks, which will add value. 
Great move by USNA; Kolat is a winner and makes others want to win, too. 
GO NAVY!

I didn't see any other threads on this (because we all love 7 threads on the same topic). Watched it last night. The storylines are pretty good. The filming is excellent. The wrestling level itself was not real great but that wasn't the point of the doc. It has won several awards- came out about a year ago. Story of a wrestling team in Alabama from a failing high school. This was the school's last year in existence. Coach is working hard to keep these kids in school, graduate and get somewhere in life. Yes, it's high school and this is a college thread - I get it and don't care. 
 

I would go with NATO as more disappointment.  Hall had refs help to get past bo

Was gonna watch, then I saw Shane Sparks.  

Largest NCAA tournament venue ever... lowest attendance ever.  
Can't wait to hear Terry berating officials, echoing across a silent, empty football stadium.  

Anyone else immediately mute the tv when Shane sparks starts his interviews ?

It makes not one bit of difference to me but I do not get where everybody keeps saying how Kollin Moore is going to find a way to blow it again this year. 
Freshman - Seeded 3rd. Goes MD, MD, MD & then loses to the 2 seed by 4. Wins in the consi's by decision and then pins the 4 seed to finish 3rd. Horrible job.
Soph. - Seeded 1st. Goes dec, MD. Then gets caught, makes a mistake or call it what you will, he loses to Conel. Wins 3 on the backside including a win over #2 seed Darmstadt and then loses to Conel 5-3 and gets 4th. You want to say he underperformed okay but as the one seed it's either exactly to seed or underperforming. Not a great tournament obviously but not horrible. Conel was certainly better than his record would have indicated which was 30 - 11. 
2019 - Seeded 2. Has 3 MD and a 6 point decision before losing 5-1 to a once-in-a-generation talent who was the three-time champion.
3 years at an upper weight and he finishes fourth, third, second. He was nowhere near as big a recruit as Warner but to listen to people talk about him he's been ****ty for the last three years. Sorry but the facts don't back it up.

Ohio State! I am An alum.

I am open to growing the sport, encourage it heavily. I am trying to understand how going bigger capacity and shrinking the intimacy needed to watch wrestling will grow the sport based upon 1 event over a 3 day period.  Our beloved wrestling is a niche sport that doesn’t get a whole bunch of media coverage. Media coverage and better marketing to non wrestling fans will grow the sport to drive us to fill large capacity arenas. 
Hopefully NCAA goes overboard on the fan experience away from your seats. Maybe allow fans to move freely to seats so they can better watch certain mats? A great experience will draw people back, encouraging me to spend money on seats w a bad view. I have high hopes.

I would like to contact ESPN and ask them to reestablish the 4 mat view option for the NCAA tournament since I will be watching from home.  The tournament is way easier to watch with 2 streams on 4 mats on w big screen TV’s than constantly switching mats or managing the “too many streams” error.
I am curious if this option is important to other fans watching at home and would you pay for the option on ESPN+. 

Bad night for the official. I'd say home cooking, but considering how sedated the crowd has been I can't explain these stall call inconsistencies. The one on Traub would have stalled out Verkleeren if called the same way. 

Right now it's splitting hairs with these two. Order doesn't matter considering they're going to get to settle it on the mat.
The issue with the 141 rankings IMO is Real Woods.  For my money he's the 3rd best guy at the weight, and I'm definitely not alone there. He could easily end up as the #8 or #9 seed with only 1 loss, and blow up the whole bracket.  See: 2019 Mekhi Lewis.  

I dislike the lack of control in FS. FS reduces wrestling to just takedowns. I consider it half a sport. I want to see wrestlers demonstrate the ability to control their opponents, or to escape from them AS WELL. FS is just one dimensional.

Desanto's head hasnt left the mat in 1.5 minutes and hasn't gotten dinged once. Home cooking officiating

Because a few matches he has won in the last seconds. 

I didn't see Snyder claim anything other than his belief God wanted him to go to Penn State. People who pray ask God for guidance, a sign, help, call it whatever you want, on what course of action they should take. This sounds like he was praying and looking for direction. 
Not sure why people have to criticize his beliefs. 

I could never understand the Rasheed hype train. He's in his sixth year now and what has he done? He wasn't great when it counted at NCAA's last year and his best finish is 7th.  What big wins does he have? His best win is against who... Willie Miklus?

the word is he can’t get down and stay at 133.
