RoadrunnerPride 24 Report post Posted March 6, 2018 (edited) I remember a lot of talk after last season about whether or not PSU could set a new record at the 2018 NCAA wrestling tourney Obviously that was before Suriano decided to transfer but did not include Lee or Rasheed IIRC So what would it take? Nolf being healthy enough to win and some bonus points too ALL 5 champs repeating and several pins and techs for each Then let’s assume we see Lee and Rasheed in the finals So 5 champs and 2 runner ups Nevils gets 3rd I realize it’s a long shot but can it happen if all that happens? I was never on a wrestling team that was any good so I don’t know how all the scoring works.

RoadrunnerPride 24 Report post Posted March 6, 2018 I meant for the title to ask “can psu set THE record†not a record but don’t know how to edit the title With my examples, would that set THE record? 5 champs, 2 runner ups, and 3rd, Zain two pins and two MD Nolf 1 pin 1 MD Joseph 1 pin 1 MD Hall 2 pins 1 MD BO 3 pins Lee 1 MD Rasheed 1 pin Would that do it?

Will It come down to Snyder beating Coon in the finals for the championship? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Paul158 20 Report post Posted March 6, 2018 I would say more likely Penn State 3 Champions. 2 seconds . 1 third. 1 5th. 1 7th. Bonus points 30. Ohio State 3 Champions. 3 seconds. 2 4ths . 1 5th. Bonus points 23. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TBar1977 3,760 Report post Posted March 6, 2018 Is Nolf still injured though? I thought he forfeited out because of Cael's orders. From what I saw he is less than 100 percent. How much less is a beauty in the eye of the beholder thing. 1 silver-medal reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PSUMike 440 Report post Posted March 6, 2018 I think 3 champs are a pretty strong possibility (Zain, Nolf, and Nickal...I'd still take a 75% Nolf over the field). I think Cenzo and Hall are coin flip, 51/49 type matches assuming they make the finals (which is pretty likely imo). Nevills is a safe bet for 3rd. Lee will likely be a low AA in the 5-8 range. He could also realistically not go that far. Keener will win a match or 2 but not much beyond that. Rasheed is the wild card. I could see him winning it all with the right draw or I can see him being a low AA. If the stars align, they get 6 champs, a 3rd, and a 5th. If the stars don't align, they get 3 champs, 2 runner ups, a 3rd, a 6th, and an 8th. I think the latter is a much more likely possibility than the former. 1 mattchristensen112 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Actually that is 26(Zain)+23(Nolf)+23(Joseph)+25(Hall)+26(Nickal)+17(Lee)+18(Rasheed)=158+13.5(I am assuming he is giving the 3rd to Nevills with no bonus)=171.5 Edited March 6, 2018 by MSU158 1 RoadrunnerPride reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aviator12 196 Report post Posted March 6, 2018 Does everyone think Rasheed still makes it to the finals in the national tournament? Not saying he won’t, but unless he was sick or sumthin the Rasheed I saw doesn’t look to have the horsepower needed against the bigger 97’s. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not saying he won’t, but unless he was sick or sumthin the Rasheed I saw doesn’t look to have the horsepower needed against the bigger 97’s. This has always been the question. There are some guys that I think can horse him around. If he doesn't pick up some pins in rd. 1 or 2 his pt total might not be enough. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PANewbie 35 Report post Posted March 6, 2018 Well, PSU added potential point scorers in Nick Lee and Shakur Rasheed. So I guess it is possible if they have great tournaments and the others repeat their performances. But...without Suriano I'm highly skeptical of it happening.

Cletus_Tucker 890 Report post Posted March 6, 2018 PSU should worry more about repeating than setting the record. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Yes agreed. And leave the fan base to "worry" about the record. I don't see a record from the Nittany Lions, but I expect them to push their guys deep into the bracket. Lee and Rasheed should each do well. The wild card for me becomes Nolf. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cm_111 77 Report post Posted March 7, 2018 Probably comes down to Nolf. If he's healthy then they have a chance. If he ins't, they won't get it done. They really need his bonus points. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
