Honestly, I would be shocked if Penn State threatened their own team record, let alone the NCAA team record.

What’s their own team record?

146.5 in 2017

Does 137.5 count as “threatening” 146.5?  Not too bad when you consider a returning champ got 7th and a 2x defending champ lost

No, it wasn't threatening, I never felt nervous they were going to break it, and returning champs placing lower is a thing that happens at the tournament.

Penn State still had a really good tournament.  They wrestled at or above seed in 7 of 9 weights.  With RBY and Facundo below seed.

They would’ve beat it if RBY and one of Haines or Kerk won right?  I guess you have a higher tolerance of being threatened than me.

I never saw Haines or Kerk as likely to win, and neither came close.  Penn State also had things go in their favor with brackets falling apart and Labriola throwing himself to his back, but they still didn't break their own team record, let alone the tournament record.

Moving from second to first gets you an extra four, so they would have also needed 1.5 more bonus points.

It’s not 5?  Four placement points and 1 advancement?  Or do you only get the placement point for the last match?

No advancement for the last match, sorry, I thought you were assuming bonus in your calculation.

Gotcha.  Well then I’d say all 3 would’ve had to win, with given Penn State’s history I would’ve probably been threatened by, but nothing wrong with having different definitions of “threatened”
