Wrestling starts at 10am on ESPNU with individual mat coverage in ESPN+.

Iowa (1 finalist)

141 Woods vs Echemendia (Iowa St) Consi semi
157 Franek vs Robb ( Nebraska) 7th place match
165 Caliendo vs Olejnik (Okie St) Consi Semi

It’s a battle for a team trophy. Only top 3 get a trophy this year. Nebraska already got a freebie this morning when McNeil from North Carolina MFF against Hardy at 141. That’s 2 bonus points plus 0.5 advancement and 3 extra points for going from guaranteed 6th to 4th. Need Woods and Caliendo to win twice for 3rd and Franek to get that extra point for 7th.

Michigan 2 finalists, 2 consi semis
Arizona St 2 finalists, 2 consi semis
Iowa St 1 finalist, 2 consi semis, 1 7th place

ESPNU's coverage this morning SUCKS!!!!

show 2 minutes of wrestling and then 10 minutes of commercials

 

[jmadden1998]

Caliendo still up 5-3. Not much action in the 2nd. Olejnik goes down to start the 3rd.

 

[MitchLL]

Woods = Heart

What are the odds Clone fans claim Woods stalled?

 

[The-Dude-Abides]

Match time clocks on the ESPN+ matcast are all messed up. Now they just took them off the screen.

 

[DeangeloVickers]

Lovett wtf?? Just stay in bed if you're going to let a true freshman manhandle you.

 

[Trapper85]

Parco from ASU loses too, which helps in team race.

 

[WitnessGreatness]

Lovett with a terrible match after losing in semis last night

 

[GableBeer]

That makes the team record that much easier they only need 18 pts to break it now

 

[jmadden1998]

Caliendo rides for a bit and lets him go. 5-4 Caliendo. Mikey with a beautiful TD and goes up 8-4. Escape and it’s 8-5. Olejnik with a late TD but Mikey had rt locked. Wins 9-8

 

[Trapper85]

Lovett wtf?? Just stay in bed if you're going to let a true freshman manhandle you.

His loss helps in team race, but adds to PSU chasing scoring record.

 

[jmadden1998]

All matches have gone out way so far. Nebraska loses twice. Parco from ASU pinned. Ragusin from Michigan got beat.

 

[jmadden1998]

I would rather finish top 3 than worry about Penn St getting the team record.

 

[MitchLL]

Iowa's worst performance in many years...Dresser's best team since he arrived...and Iowa likely still finishes ahead of ISU????

LOfreakingL

 

[cheaptilt42]

Gald our guys have more heart than Lovett and Parco.

 

[js8793]

Lol, PSU's true freshman back up 149 just destroyed Lovett

 

[HawkAlum2002]

Does Nebraska ever live up to their expectations? Every year they seem like top 5 on paper and they just never get there.

 

[PSU Mike]

Lol, PSU's true freshman back up 149 just destroyed Lovett

Backup 141, actually.

 

[MitchLL]

Not as bad as the yearly Missouri flop.

 

[jmadden1998]

Lovett checked out.

 

[DeangeloVickers]

I would rather finish top 3 than worry about Penn St getting the team record.

Really? No one will remember who finished 3rd in 2024. The scoring record is historic. Weird take.

 

[sdvike]

Good. Gives something for the Hawks to work for in upcoming Nattys.

 

[sdvike]

When are the placement matches? Right after these consis?
