NCAA Finals Thread

I hope to eat these words at 197 but until proven otherwise… Penn State will never in the history of their wrestling program lose in the finals again.

What they are doing is absolutely beyond ridiculous.
Ask Kyle Dake about that. I wouldn't go that far just yet. Regardless of who they send out at 149 or 125, there is zero chance that person beats Lee or Yianni next year. They're a great program and I give them full credit, but let's not get silly. ;)
 
it’s not luck or cheating or bad calls when they do it almost every year. they have something figured out for big matches. strategy or psychology. whatever it is, it makes them the clear place to go if you want to win ncaa titles. coaches gotta move forward and figure it out.

brands put together an incredible team to bring back a title, but if you can’t win in the semis/finals, it’s not sustainable. the best recruits want to win titles and it’s hard to argue the numbers right now.
 
We had Renteria and the kid from Cali lined up, neither of which panned out, and that guy we won't talk about that flip-flopped and had issues, so RBY wasn't that big a deal (we thought). I do think we went after him hard, from what I heard.

Nail it right here 👆👆. Make some changes or don’t bitch about the outcomes.
 
We have to change the way we wrestle PSU. Nuff said. We have to change the way we wrestle them. If they’re not going to engage, then we shouldn’t either. Both RBY and Dean waited for a bad shot to counter. We’ve been scouted. Time to lean into their style against us and play the waiting game. I hate that, but I’m over getting beat on our own shots.
 
I get it but I think it is interesting that people are complaining about him taking a shot and maybe you haven't been saying this but there has been a lot of complaining on here about him not taking shots.
In the finals in a match like that is no time to start doing things you don't do well. Warner blinked, they were both counting on hitting a counter.
