I'm setting this up the night before, so that everyone knows the plan. Please allow this thread to sit idle until after the conclusion of Session V.
Please use the thread for all pre-session, in-session, and post-session discussion for the Session VI of the 2023 NCAA Championships.
When:
March 16, 7:00 pm EDT
Where:
Bok Center, Tulsa, OK
TV:
ESPN
Video Streaming:
ESPN+, for those that are subscribers.
Audio Streaming:
The radio PBP, with Jeff Byers at the mic, will be streamed for free. The pre-Session portion of the broadcast will begin at 6:40 pm EDT, with the actual PBP of the matches taking place at 7:00 pm EDT. (LionVision indicates it's starting at 6:20, but all the pre-Session broadcasts have started 20 minutes before the wrestling, and Byers said at the end of Session V that he'll be back at 6:40 pm EDT tonight.) You can access the audio stream at:

Team Scoring:
The best place to track the team scoring is the Penn State Wrestling Club web site. The link for the team scoring is:

There is a good chance that PSU will have locked up the Team Championship before the start of this Session. Update: PSU did lock up the team title during Session V.
PBP:
By tradition, I do not do PBP for PSU wresters in the Finals. I started that tradition many years ago, and with all the success PSU has had since I started it, I see no reason to mess with a winning formula. My thinking when I started it (and still today) is that I do all this work in the first five sessions with the PBP, and miss some things as a result. It's nice to sit back and just enjoy the matches involving PSU wrestlers.) That said, I will be participating in the thread, and discussing what happens in the matches involving PSU wrestlers. @GregPickel will also be in the thread -- I haven't discussed with him if he'll do PBP in the finals. I'm sure Greg will post his plans.
PSU may have clinched the team title during the Saturday morning session. If not, then they should clinch it during this session. Between that, and PSU having five wrestlers in the finals, we should have a lot to celebrate. Let's have some fun!
