2026 NCAA Championship Session I Thread
- Thread starter Tom McAndrew
- Start date
I have all 8 on my laptop up (9 with the multi-mat view). I opened each tab separately
Should have posted this earlier, but you older guys will remember him. He was the MC at every big tournament including the NCAA championships.
Always seemed like Bouzakis cut too much at 133. No clue how he maintains 125
Fugitt goes down, wasn't that long ago he beat ayala.....
Thought Davis had that takedown on Fugitt. Glad they gave it to him.
133- #3 Marcus Blaze vs. #30 Gabe Whisenhunt (ORST)

Marcus has come to wrestle! A 11 point second period.
An even better 2nd period for Blaze. He's up 14-1 after 2, with 1:19 in RT
Shawver Byrd has been crazy! Round 1. This is the best sports weekend of the year!
17-2, TF, @ 5:30 for Marcus Blaze!!!
The devino loss may have been a kick in the shorts to get him going. Man on a mission...
Tech fall for Marcuz Blaze! 17 to 2 final score.
2.5 points for the team total (1.5 bonus points)

Blaze almost stuck him in that tilt.
He had it and a shame it had to go to review to get it right
SVN in the hole mat 6, Davis on deck mat 4, Lilledahl in the hole on 8.

That whole scramble before that was beautiful, thought blaze was gonna give up a takedown
@Tom McAndrew it looks like we're going to have some overlap with Luke & SVN. Can you cover one of those? Take your pick.
If there's a quick ending & no overlap, then I'll take care of it.

Visible mats numbers with my Roku stick. Matt numbers cut off and not visible on the fire stick. Go figure
@SlipperyPete -- Davis's match should go 1st. It's possible that SVN's match or Luke's match will start during Davis's match.
If Davis's match ends before SVN or Luke start their respective matches, I'll take the 2nd start of SVN or Luke. If SVN or Luke start before Davis's match is over, then I'll take the overlap match (the one that starts while Davis's match is still taking place).
