So are 3 best chances are 133, 141 and 149. 3 is better than zero I suppose.

Oops 133 maybe not so much

Do we know that Nagao is going this weekend at 133?  He was out last weekend.

I think they let Kilkeary go out against him.  I think he holds the career edge 2-0 or 3-0 on Davis going back to Frosh seasons in High School.

It is conceivable that tOSU jumps out to a four match lead out the gate, if no Nagao.

Kilkeary over Davis via DEC
Bouzakis over Shunk via MAJ
Mendez over Bartlett via MAJ
D'Emilio over Kasak via DEC

PSU is going to be pushing for bonus in the other six matches, though.  So they will need Rogotzke to deck Truax.  That would optimistically (obviously) put them at 20 points.

If they could keep the PSU upper weights to less than 21 points I would be shocked...

Nagao was sick.

If you watch the Penn State media availability you can see him playing dodgeball in the background at one point.

Kilkeary beat him 5-2 at S32 in 2020 and 5-2 at Pitt Wrestling Classic in 2023 I believe...
