Jimmy Cinnabon Posted March 17, 2023 Posted March 17, 2023 Crazy! All 7 quarterfinalists make the semis, including wild wins by Bartlett, SVN and Haines. Tonight, however, only 3 out of 7 will be favored to win, by seed. Here is how I see it going: 133 RBY dec McGee 141 Alirez dec Bartlett 149 Yianni maj SVN 157 Robb dec Haines 174 Starocci dec Foca 184 Brooks dec Hidlay HWT Hendrickson dec Kerk Penn State goes 3/7 in the semis, which isn't great compared to their regular success. I see a small chance Haines and Kerk could win though which would make it 5/7 in the semis. I think Bartlett and SVN have run out of lives though, against vastly superior opponents.

When did Allirez become vastly superior to Bartlett? I guess I missed the memo. And Kerk is a favorite over Hendrickson. I Don't Agree With What I Posted

And Kerk is a favorite over Hendrickson. He's undefeated this year with a much higher bonus rate, he's also the 2nd seed and a former AA. All credentials better than Bartlett. Hendrickson is favored by seed and by performance so far in the tourney. He is a bonus point machine. 1

mspart Posted March 17, 2023 Posted March 17, 2023 (edited) Still a pretty incredible stat. PSU brought 9 to the dance and 7 are still jitterbugging. That is pretty good and explains why they win the team competition most of the time. They wrestle at or above their seed. 7 of 9 in the semis is pretty incredible. Only one of them is out. Dean still has the opportunity to be AA. So 7 or 8 out of 9 AA. That's pretty good! mspart Edited March 17, 2023 by mspart 2

Not taking the bait. We do this every four years with a new crop and every four years Team Carl wins half the weights. It's like betting against the house and I'm not falling for it anymore. After 12 years I have finally learned to never ever bet against PSU ever again. i am an idiot on the internet

SocraTease Posted March 17, 2023 Posted March 17, 2023 It's interesting that Penn State's lightweights have done better (all 4 in the semis) than their vaunted upper weights (3 in semis; one out; one in round of 12). Who would have predicted that?
