Wrestleknownothing Posted March 10 Posted March 10 Inquiring minds want to know. Well, maybe not if you are a non-PSU fan but just in case.... https://wrestling.guru/2026/03/10/can-penn-state-score-200-points/ 1 1 Drowning in data, but thirsting for knowledge
Gene Mills Fan Posted March 10 Posted March 10 Well "Hell came to Breakfast" but I don't think they are staying for lunch and dinner. So I think they break a record but do not get the 200 mark. The home cooking is going away, and there are more hungry peasants to feed.

I would rather see 10 champions from 10 different schools.
AgaveMaria Posted March 10 Posted March 10 Sure they could, just like Donald Trump could pay the $80 million he owes to the woman who has a court judgment against him for being a sexual predator. ” Never attribute to inspiration that which can be adequately explained by delusion”.

SplitTheG Posted March 10 Posted March 10 (edited) Let's say the perform optimally. Imo, ceiling is 8 champs, 4th Place Finish (for Mirasola), and 6th Place Finish (Davis). Using scoring from https://collegesportscommunicators.com/media/documents/2011/12/ncaawrestlingscoringrules.pdf 1st Place Finishes: 16x8 = 128 4th Place: 9 6th Place: 6 Total: 143 before Bonus/Match Points Braeden (+3): Based on Braeden's performance at B1G's, I'm assuming no bonus from him. Let's get him to the Q8, that's +2 champion side, then 2 wins backside for another +1. Cole (+5): Cole optimally makes a Semifinal run, only one of which I think would be bonus, a tech. That's +4.5 on the championship side. Backside, one more decision for +0.5. Lightning (+9.5): Up until Semifinals, bonus points, all techs. The rest are decisions Blaze (+8): Up until the Quarters, he techs. The rest are decisions SVN (+12.5): He can bonus everyone on his best day. Let's say, 2 falls, 1 tech, 2 majors. Duke Mafia (+10): If everything were realistic and optimal, he'd have 1 decision, but the rest bonus (2 techs, 2 majors). Mesenbrink (+11.5): All bonus, 3 techs, 2 majors. Haines (+8): 2 techs, 3 decisions. Rocco (+7.5): 1 tech, 1 major, 3 decisions Barr (+11): 4 techs, 1 decision. 143 + 3 + 5 + 9.5 + 8 + 12.5 + 10 + 11.5 + 8 + 7.5 + 11 = 229 (I might have screwed up on Championship side guys, let me know). If everyone performs to their ceiling, yes. That rarely happens though, and I doubt they'll hit 200 for this. I think they'll have 5/6 champs. Edited March 10 by SplitTheG

GV4444 Posted March 10 Posted March 10 What I do think can happen is a record number of points for the top 3 teams, or 4 teams, or 5 teams. The wealth will significantly lie at the top of the food chain. Dispassionate Penn State grad and fan.
Nak21 Posted March 10 Posted March 10 (edited) 5 hours ago, Sublime607 said: So you don't think programs cutting wrestling has a link to PSU. Because I do and that's not good for the sport That’s a clownish take. Universities dropping men’s D1 wrestling primarily took place decades before PSU’s current run, back when Iowa was king and PSU just produced some good individuals. Iowa (then) and PSU (now) had NOTHING to do with it. Title IX and focusing resources on football, men’s basketball, and trying to grow women’s sports to some level of participation parity with men’s sports is what killed D1 wrestling and a few other men’s sports at the collegiate level. https://www.flowrestling.org/articles/12951710-new-dropped-d1-college-wrestling-programs-of-the-past-50-years We’ve actually seen a small net INCREASE in the number of programs during PSU’s current run. Do they get credit for that?? Edited March 10 by Nak21
Nak21 Posted March 10 Posted March 10 200? Wow. That’s a bunch. I would think almost everything would have to go right to hit a number like that. Not sure that’s in the cards. But I think they will flirt with the scoring record again, maybe break it. Good chance to set records for finalists and champs. I could see that happening. I also expect a large margin between PSU and whoever comes in 2nd. Not 100 pts like over Cornell a few years ago, but certainly in the 40-60 range.
Hammerlock3 Posted March 11 Posted March 11 these arguments never say, "with Nil, portal, 3 point tds and 4pt nearfal" "Half measures are a coward's form of insanity."
