I like PJ against Cannon better than Cardenas.
2026 NCAA Championship Session II Thread
- Thread starter Tom McAndrew
- Start date
Cannon pulls of awesome comeback, but the euphoria is fleeting when he realizes he gets a rematch with PJ 
He caught part of pj's match...
The 149 bracket will go down as one of the worst in history. Van Ness and then a bunch of people who lost to high schooler. It's approaching last year's 133.
I think Cannon is the more explosive guy and is capable of putting up points but after what PJ did to him at Big 10’s it’s hard to not want that matchup again
It's in their contract, if they don't chase refs after matches they don't get paid.
What does this game tell you about my age?You just aged yourself. I’m guessing you are around my age to make the PlayStation reference.
Good news: Multiple F bombs is all it takes to get a stuck Ethernet cord unplugged from your adapter.
Bad news: My movement will have to wait until after Mesenbrink.
The PJ that had a close match against Cardenas in December no longer exists. I'm thinking Cardenas choked that match away because he knew what was coming if he won.
Yeah. It's a day ending in 'y'.
Oklahoma State is very impressive. They could have 10 moving forward in this round, I believe.
They are wrestling really well. I think both Facundo (vs Mantanona) and Ryder (vs Neitenbach) are underdogs in their matches though
Btw, they're already tied with last seasons squad for 2nd session Bonus points. 5.5
This guy is going to Stall against MM. Need our Fans to Step up here
The Wyoming kid looked great at 184. Would be tough for Ryder even with a good shoulder
Gallagher has one goal. Hold this to a dec to help Mendez' Hodge hopes.
Mitch electing to work on his tilts, as opposed to cut and TD, in the 1st period
Messenbrink really wants to turn & pin Gallagher. This is why it was a major and not tech the last time as well. Odd

Mitchell has just become mean on top. he’s putting a beating on Paddy. Would like to see some points though
He might stall him out if he keeps it up

Alright, mitchell, you've got riding time locked up already
Alvan with heavy hips and lockett with cement shoes
MM is a far better wrestler than Gallagher, but Gallagher is really tough. it hurts especially bad when wrestling this dude.
LOCKETT DOWN WOW! PINNED IN OT!
