Misc. notes: 

- Eight 1-seeds made it to the finals

- Every final features either a 1-seed or 2-seed 

- Four weights feature the 1-seed v. the 2-seed (133, 174, 184, & 285)

-  15-seed Kizhan Clarke (UNC) @ 141lbs is the lowest seeded wrestler to advance to the finals followed by 10-seed Ridge Lovett (Nebraska) @ 149lbs

- Only two weights (157 & 197--true before the tournament) are guaranteed to produce a new NCAA Champion. 

- Cohlton Schultz (ASU) is still the current leading tournament scorer with 20 points (4 wins; 2 falls, 2 decisions) 

- 14 different wrestling programs will be represented in the finals 

- of the 20 finalists, 11 are from the Big 10--with 5 coming from Penn State 

- 3 schools have multiple finalists (PSU with 5, Princeton and Michigan with 2) 

- 165lbs is the only weight to feature no finalists from the Big 10

- 165lbs is also the only weight that may produce a freshman national champion 

- of the 20 finalists, 3 are first time All-Americans (Clarke, Lovett, & Monday) 

- of the 20 finalists, 3 have already captured Senior World-Level medals (Fix, Amine, and Steveson)

- of the 20 finalists, 11 have already been to an NCAA finals with 9 being former NCAA Champions 

- of the 10 finals match-ups, 5 are fresh match-ups that have yet to occur at the NCAA level (125, 141, 165, 174, and 285)

- 133lbs is the only repeat finals match-up from previous NCAA tournaments 

-174lbs is the only finals match-up between two former NCAA Champions; thus, it is the only weight guaranteed to not produce a new NCAA Champion 

 

Team Race Notes: (technically, there's a chance.... essentially, it's over). 

- Penn State currently has a 23.5 point lead over Michigan

- Both teams still have 6 wrestlers alive in the tournament

- Wrestlers in the finals have the potential to score 0 - 6 more team points (4 placement points available, 2 activity points available). Penn State has 5 (30 points). Michigan has 2 (12 points)

- Wrestlers in the conso-semis have the potential score 0 - 8.5 more team points (4 placement points available, 4 activity points available, .5 advancement points available). Penn State has 1 (8.5 points). Michigan has 4 (34 points). 

- Penn State's maximum potential points is 146.5

- Michigan's maximum potential points is 130.5 

- Penn State and Michigan have 1 H2H match-up in the conso-semis: Kerkvliet vs. Parris

- The 4 Michigan wrestlers needs to score 24 points + match any points scored by Kerkvliet in Session V to take the lead

- To put into perspective how wide the gap is, consider these scenarios: 

- in the hypothetical event Kerkvliet loses out and all 4 Michigan wrestlers in the conso-semis win without any bonus activity points, Michigan would still be trailing by 5.5 points heading into Session VI. 

- in the hypothetical event Kerkvliet loses out, all remaining 6 Michigan wrestlers win through without bonus activity points, any 1 of RBY, Lee, Starroci, or Dean winning their finals match secures the Penn State victory.

What do you think the marquee match is?  I think its got to be Star and Lewis.  

[TFBJR 464]

if I could get the $200,000+ analysts and PMs to write this clearly and comprehensively I could take over the world.  Great job and thank you!

Probably why your posts don't get enough love...

I'm thinking someone didn't waste their money on your (Stanford?) education.

They’re starting at 125 so Gable is the last match I believe

I wouldn't disagree, but how do you know this?

I can’t remember which topic but I thought I read it on here somewhere. Maybe it was just speculation?

Good morning and thank you as well to @goStanford18. You are establishing, dare I say it, the Penn State standard for this thread. No offense to your Coach Kolls Cardinal. 

[4awrestler 72]

I wouldn't disagree, but how do you know this?

Baschamania had a Facebook post last night saying Gable was last, had to look to find where I saw it.

Thanks 4awrestler. I figured Gable was etched in granite some time ago, but some others may have disagreed.

Out of gratitude for this I would have rooted for Griffith tonight even if he wasn't already my favorite wrestler.

Thank you @GoStanford18, AGAIN.

Stuff-

App States Johnathan Millner now a 2X AA with next year to go.

 

[bnwtwg 1,065]

Woods/Rivera is looking like one of the best matches of the tournament going into the 3rd. Easily could have been the finals tonight...

[Antitroll2828 996]

Gomez knocks off Sasso again , Willits (141) keeps rolling wrestles for 3rd now

Woods isn’t aggressive enough when facing top guys , needs a go to shot he trusts in big matches 

[Grecojones 206]

Hats off to DeAugustino. I would not have expected him to make it to the 3rd place match, wow.
