I would go with the earlier time.

• The 2019 Big Ten Wrestling Championships are set for this Saturday and Sunday, March 9-10, at Williams Arena on the campus of the University of Minnesota. The event gets underway at 10 a.m. CT on Saturday, with the preliminary, quarterfinal, semifinal and wrestleback matches taking place in Sessions I and II.


• Consolation semifinals and seventh-place matches get underway at noon on Sunday, while first-, third- and fifth-place matches begin at 3 p.m. BTN Plus will provide live streaming coverage of Sessions I, II and III, while the championship rounds will be carried live on BTN.

• Penn State boasts four top-seeded wrestlers, with 157-pounder Jason Nolf, 165-pounder Vincenzo Joseph, 174-pounder Mark Hall and 197-pounder Bo Nickal. The Fighting Illini’s Michael Carr (141), the Wolverines’ Stevan Micic (133), the Gophers’ Gable Steveson (285), the Wildcats’ Sebastian Rivera (125), the Buckeyes’ Myles Martin (184) and the Scarlet Knights’ Anthony Ashnault (149) round out the group of top-ranked grapplers.

• This year’s field contains a combined 10 Big Ten individual championships (eight wrestlers) and eight NCAA individual championships (five wrestlers).

• Five of this year’s top seeds look to defend their 2018 Big Ten Championship titles: Michigan’s Stevan Micic (133), Ohio State’s Joey McKenna (141), Michigan’s Alec Pantaleo (157), Penn State’s Mark Hall (174) and Ohio State’s Kollin Moore (197).

• Ohio State’s Kollin Moore and Rutgers’ Anthony Ashnault are looking to become the 58th and 59th wrestlers in conference history to win three individual titles.

• Ohio State enters the weekend looking for its third consecutive Big Ten Championship. Last season, the Buckeyes earned 164.5 points and claimed four individual titles from Nathan Tomasello (125), Joey McKenna (141), Kollin Moore (197) and Kyle Snyder (285). Penn State finished in second place with 148 points, followed by third-place Michigan with 118. Iowa finished in fourth place with 90.5 points and Nebraska rounded out the top five with 72.5 team points.

• Historically, Iowa leads all Big Ten schools in championship action with 35 team titles and 199 individual crowns.
