Any win in the finals produces a new team scoring record.

Sparks is starting to sound like Buck Laughlin (Fred Willard) in Best in Show. "Doctor, question that's always bothered me and a lot of people: Mayflower, combined with Philadelphia - a no-brainer, right? Cause this is where the Mayflower landed. Not so. It turns out Columbus actually set foot somewhere down in the West Indies. Little known fact."

WrestleStat getting some much deserved love from Hidlay/Sparks.

He definitely helped his stock. And coming back to wrestle the backside helps even more.

158 points and counting

158 and counting with the Davis pinfall

Penn State has 155 points. A third or fifth place win is worth 1 more placement point. A first place win is worth 4 more placement points. PSU's 9 remaining wrestlers can earn 18 more placement points, putting their total at 173. They can afford to miss out on a few third place finishes as long as they get enough bonus points to cover the difference. It will be much harder to do if they lose a final, but not impossible. Technically they can lose all three finals, as long as they pinfall everyone else, and still get the record. Sucks to be them.

A little known part of the rule is that the count stops when both wrestlers are on their feet, or if the defensive wrestler is on their feet while the offensive wrestler is still on the mat. The referee shall stop the count when the offensive wrestler improves their position, moves their hold back up above the buttocks of the defensive wrestler, releases the hold or when both wrestlers rise to the standing position. When dropped to a lower leg, there is no mandatory count when both the offensive and defensive wrestlers are in the rearstanding position. The mandatory count also stops if the defensive wrestler is on their feet while the offensive wrestler is still on the mat. (Rules 5.7.12b)

Ferrari and Starocci started at the same time. Ferrari still has two years left.

I have gone back and forth on the push out. I thought I wanted it, now I think I don't. But I definitely 1000% want the point for the lost challenge.

And voting yes on the point for a lost challenge

Great story by Hidlay about Trephan and Trumble being roommates earlier this year and now meeting at NCAAs with a trip to 3/4 on the line

Nice win by Kennedy. How does 174 resolve at Iowa next year? With Kennedy 3/4 and Arnold undersized at 184, and both guys bleeding Black and Gold.

It is almost a PSU Cornell dual right now

Happy for Barraclough even with the lose. Maybe Facundo can AA next year too.

"No, I don't know the story." Hidlay made Sparks so happy just then.

call me confused. Bartlett is up one without riding time and goes optional to give up the point and the tie?
