Certainly don’t want today a reverse of last year. Happy we’ve effectively clinched, but we all hammered Iowa for crapping the bed in the finals.
2022 NCAA Tournament, Session 5 Thread

- Start date
Very proud to be a PSU wrestling fan. They dominate, and do it with class. The tone is set at the top. CAEL KNOWS WRESTLING!
Who cares what Iowa thinks. Drop in on the Hawkeye report board and read how they are making excuses for crapping the bed big time. Went from a team loaded with old men, supposedly invincible, at the start of the season to a big bust
I just noticed that Tariq Wilson is wrestling in the 7th place match. That's got to be a disappointment for him.
Post bout last night Steveson paid Kerk a tremendous compliment.
I can't give you an exact time. They are down to 3 mats, where they wrestle the 3rd place, the 5th place, and the 7th place match, for each weight class. They just started with 125, and will work up to 285.
I don't have a "theory." I know exactly what the situation was. I've disclosed as much as I'm allowed to do so here.
Half-point would be a tie for the team title (National Championship). 1-point is the National Championship!
When we get to 285, it appears that Kerk will be on Mat 1, as that is where the 3rd place matches are being wrestled
Thanks Tom. I'm kinda new to the sport and unaware of the set-up for this tourney. So the Medal Round guys wrestle twice in three/four hours, right? Does this mean that Kerk cinched fourth place?
I hadn't thought of it that way (he clinched 4th place), but I guess that's correct. He can't finish lower than 4th place.
No problem on the rest. We're happy to help everyone build their wrestling knowledge.

Lucas Byrd (Illinois) loses in R1, and wrestled all the way through consolations to finish 5th, and wins by a pin in the 5th place match. I love things like that in wrestling.
It’s amazing how every single year that the Bull (or should we now say “”Veal”) Marinelli crapped the bed in the NCAA’s vs expectations. For all the hoopla, bat-**** weirdo wife, surrounding puffery, there was a very small wrestler behind the curtain, for the 17 years of collegiate wrestling…
That shows heart, determination, endurance, along with skill
I guess the first Michigan guy to wrestle in the placement matches will be Will Lewan, in the 5th place match at 157. It will be Lewan versus Jacori Teemer (ASU).
By my count he wrestled seven matches in three days. I think he earned a day or two off.
I think so. Well, if he TFed him, then I think we would be in a tie, so we'd have to wait to see what happened in the Logan Massa placement match.
Question: For these consolation matches are the team points awarded for a win the same as those awarded for winning a championship match?
Our guys would have to lose and throw their headgear, after every period.
Kidding, it is over, just not the math. One doesn't need to be John Urschel to figure this out.
I want to win the title. I also want to win Sat night.

not exactly. At this point, there are no more advancement points, as you can't advance beyond the placement matches. However, there are placement points. When you advance to the 3rd place match, both wrestlers are given the placement points for finishing 4th. Then, at the conclusion of the match the wrestler that actually wins the 3rd place match gets the additional placement points for 3rd place.
The bonus points (major, TF, and pin) are awarded the same.
No. I don't know the exact figures, but if you are in the 7/8 match, your team, already gas the points for 7th. The differential between 7 and 8 isn't that great. Somebody else would know the details. Tom said it better than me
Gomez - Andonian, go for it the 2nd time. I hope we have as many fireworks as they did yesterday.
it didn't disappoint. Adonian wins 10-6 in another wild match, so Adonian (VT) finishes 3rd, and Gomez finishes 4th.
so now we are all Jacori Teemer (ASU) fans, in his 5th place match against Will Lewan (Michigan). CS recruited Teemer pretty hard at the end of the recruiting cycle.
Teemer - Lewan goes SV.
Wow, Lewan nearly with a TD but Teemer with good D as they go OOB. Teemer in on a double to a single but Lewan with a nice whizzer and he's free. Lewan nearly with a counter TD but they are OOB with 56 sec. Lewan shoots and Teemer nearly with a counter, then Lewan locks a body lock, lifts, and gets the TD.
PSU wins the 2022 Team Title!!!!!!
