2025 NCAA Championship Session V Thread
- Thread starter Tom McAndrew
- Start date
I get we didn't have 5 guys in the finals, but the average finish of the wrestlers will be a little over 3rd. If kerk was healthy it might a little under 3rd. I just can't wrap my head around that, average place for a team at the NCAAs is 3rd.
They already get placement to worst they can finish. They add points if they win to the advanced placement. Finalists get two for the win.as they are already assumed as placing second
Right but right now their worst would be 12 placement points for 2nd. First place is 16 placement points
Jumping up 2 weight classes in college wrestling is a tough feat. Guys are a lot taller and longer at 174. He seems to really struggle with those type of wrestlers. Levi is really strong which aloud him to dominate at 157, but not as much of an advantage at 174. Im hoping another offseason adjusting to this weight will pay benefits for next year.
Considering the amount of booze you pound down...should we be surprised?
Ref didn't seem interested in getting to the mat. Weird
Jeez, how flat does Bartlett need to get him?
I haven't watched as much wrestling as a lot of you guys but I've never seen the bout order not follow the weight classes even if they start someplace other than 125. If anything, I thought they'd have Carter go last to highlight his quest for five. It's not as though the Steveson/Hendrickson match has any special significance. I guess the reality is the order of the bouts isn't important though. It doesn't matter who wrestles before/after you.

Jeff Byers calls for both of those was chilling!!! Byers is so good
Awesome! Except of course for Carter wrestling first. How stupid.
Our boys got some rest and ate their Wheaties this morning. Wow.
I was thinking the same thing. They need to keep eating whatever they had for breakfast

Jeff Byers just said 1
Last year in the team score PSU was the points hog with second place Cornell being 100 points behind. This year PSU will likely break last year's record but there will be three other teams within 100 points. Not that it means anything. Just an observation.
