2022 B1G Tournament, Session 3 Thread

SIAP - does Edsel have a shot at an at large bid?

Great breakdown from @NewYorkNittany earlier in this thread. It's iffy but definitely possible:

Spent some time this morning looking to see if Edsall has much of a shot at an At-Large or not. Here is what I got and what would help him today.

Took the coaches rankings from a couple weeks ago to determine the allocations.

These guys are ranked ahead of Edsall and have secured an allocation spot:

2. O'Toole (Missouri/Big 12)
4. Kharchla (Ohio State/Big 12)
5. Marinelli (Iowa/Big Ten)
6. Hamiti (Wisconsin/Big Ten)
7. Hall (West Virginia/Big 12)
9. Ramirez (Cornell/EIWA)
11. Conigliaro (Harvard/EIWA)
12. Hartman (Bucknell/EIWA)
14. Olejnik (NIU/MAC)
16. Amine (Michigan/Big Ten)
18. Ogunsanya (Columbia/EIWA)

So what would further help him?

Pac 12 has 3 allocation spots so we want these guys to finish 1-2-3 in any order:

1. Wick (Cal Poly/Pac 12)
3. Griffith (Stanford/Pac 12)
8. Valencia (ASU/Pac 12)

ACC has 3 allocation spots so we want these guys to finish 1-2-3 in any order:

15. Wentzel (Pitt/ACC)
20. Bullard (NC State/ACC)
21. McCoy (Virginia/ACC)

Big 12 has 4 allocation spots of which 2 have been secured. We want these two to win their first Conso match today and then they would be wrestling each other for 3rd and both would lock up the last 2 allocation spots:

13. Yant (UNI/Big 12)
17. Weber (North Dakota St./Big 12)

EIWA has 7 allocation spots of which 4 have been secured. These two wrestle each other in the first match today. The winner clinches an allocation spot. The loser needs to win the 7th place match to secure the last allocation spot.

23. Revano (Penn/EIWA)
25. Barczak (Drexel/EIWA)

Big Ten has 7 allocation spots of which 6 have been secured. These two wrestle each other today for 7th place and the last allocation spot:

28. Carlson (Minnesota/Big Ten)
31. Fish (Michigan State/Big Ten)

That leaves the competition for the 4 Wild Card spots. If Edsell wrestles well in the mini-bracket today he could land the last wild card I think.

10. Wittlake (Oklahoma St./Big 12)
18. Formato (App State/SoCon)
22. Meyer (Lehigh/EIWA)
24. Braunagel (Illinois/Big Ten)
26. Edsell (Penn State/Big Ten)
Loser of Carlson/Fish

There's a filthy, unsubstantiated, most likely false rumor floating around the hawkeye forum that Cass may MFF to Gable. I don't believe it, a loss can't hurt him.

I want to see wrestling.

Michigan has 9 guys on top 4. That is damn impressive

That is impressive with 5 finalists. But to put it in a little context, I highly doubt anyone believes that lewan and the lighter amine make the finals in 2 weeks. Where psu may go to NCAA's with 5 first seeds.

IF Drew gets better on his feet he will do well at Nationals. That’s the million dollar statement. I would be wrestling Gillman everyday in the room.

I hear what you're saying, but he's a sixth-year senior. He's had a very successful college career wrestling his style, and at this point, he is who he is. I don't think we're going to see any tactical or stylistic changes in Drew's wrestling over the next two weeks. I'll attribute this weekend's performance to Drew being less than 100%, and hope for a performance similar to last year's in the Nationals.
