Odds of PSU going 3/6 in the finals?

Very high

 

[jmadden1998]

Woods still leading 5-4. Hardy gets a TD to go up 7-5. 31 seconds left.

I'd say less than 5%.

157, 174, 197, and HWT are essentially locks.

 

[andrewrayhons]

Real always wrestles not to lose. He never tries to just win.

 

[STEEL125]

Same shit every time

 

[jmadden1998]

O’Toole up 6-1 on Caliendo.

This year

I swear to god if Tom just wasted the last challenge brick

yeah that’s kinda my thought too

 

[eb05]

well we are getting 4th

 

[MitchLL]

It's time!!!!!!!

 

[jmadden1998]

Hardy beats Woods 7-6. First time he beats him.

 

[Trapper85]

Real always wrestles not to lose. He never tries to just win.

Not sure I agree here. He just burned alot of energy while trying...but failing...ti complete a couple takedowns. Good effort, just couldn't finish.

 

[Rose bowl or bust]

He did…and it was dumb as hell to challenge that.

EDIT:not sure if that was our last challenge

 

[MitchLL]

well we are getting 4th

If Ayala loses, we fall behind ISU and MAYBE ASU.

6th place and the whole staff should walk home.

The team motto right here

 

[GlenHawk]

As much as I hate it, you have to give major props to Kasak. Losing in the first round and wrestling all the way back for third place and racking up bonus points along the way is very impressive. Especially for a 'backup' true frosh 😢

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

Trash.

 

[kjb32812]

yeah that’s kinda my thought too

Is it crazy that I'm worried about Haines?

 

[jmadden1998]

Caliendo gets a TD to cut the lead to 10-5. Cuts riding time under a minute and lets him go. 11-5. End of 2. Mikey goes neutral.

Or... Ayala wins, and we finish ahead of them.

 

[jmadden1998]

Caliendo another TD and release. 12-8.

 

[jmadden1998]

Caliendo loses 12-8.

 

[js8793]

If Yonger didn't bomb out, ISU had a legit shot at 2nd. Great tournament for them.

 

[MitchLL]

"IF", you miss that part?

I'll give zero props to Penn State wrestlers (or Cael) and I'll thank each and every one of you for doing the same.

KOT looked out of gas at the end. Mikey represented himself real well in that loss. 4th place in this weight class is a good accomplishment

 

[js8793]

Really nice tournament from Caliendo. He, Drake, and Teske are the three I felt wrestled to their best this weekend.

 

[jmadden1998]

Need Buchanan to keep this lead over Cardenas of Cornell. He’s up 5-1.

 

[jmadden1998]

Griffith takes down Lewis with less than 30 seconds left and wins. 4-0.

 

[MitchLL]

So far...8 out of 8 Hawks have lost their last match in this tourney.

JFC

 

[eb05]

If Ayala loses, we fall behind ISU and MAYBE ASU.

6th place and the whole staff should walk home.

asu isn’t passing us. they would need bonus points and teemer to win

 

[sunshinedynomite]

What happens if you run out of bricks and throw one.

 

[OILCHECKER]

Michigan essentially locked up 2md place with Griffith win

 

[jmadden1998]

Drake has to win to give us a chance at top 3.

 

[cheaptilt42]

"IF", you miss that part?

Didn't miss it...trying like hell to stay positive. Woods and Franek's last matches are making it hard.

 

[eb05]

Really nice tournament from Caliendo. He, Drake, and Teske are the three I felt wrestled to their best this weekend.

absolutely. i was thinking about teske earlier. we were down when he lost to frost and van dee early in the season but both guys ended up being hammers. they all wrestled their tail off this tournament

 

[STEEL125]

Mind boggling that PK couldn’t AA at this weight

 

[Trapper85]

Drake has to win to give us a chance at top 3.

And Vito has to lose, correct?

 

[MilleGinja]

Need Buchanan to keep this lead over Cardenas of Cornell. He’s up 5-1.

Regardless of this result, assuming no bonus for Cornell, we need Ayala to win and Vito to lose. Right? Math?
