Please use this thread for all in-tournament and post-tournament discussion of the Black Knight Invitational.

PSU seems to have pulled the Match Notes from GoPSUsports.com, so I'm not dealing with my normal amount of information in preparing the match/tournament thread.

When:
Nov. 23, 10:00 am EST

Where:
West Point, NY

TV:
none

Video Streaming:
subscribers of FloWrestling can access the video stream of the tournament.

Audio Streaming:
The radio PBP, with Jeff Byers at the mic, will be streamed for free. The pre-tournament portion of the broadcast will begin at 9:40 am EST, with the actual tournament starting at 10 am EST. You can access the audio stream at:

gopsusports.com

Lion Vision

Once there, scroll down, find Wrestling: Black Knight Invitation, and press the arrow in the button to the left of that text.

PBP:
I have something all day on my schedule, so I'm out for PBP. I didn't check with @GregPickel about his availability, but I'm sure he'll let us know after he finishes his coverage responsibilities for tonight's PSU football game. Here's hoping @SlipperyPete and/or others from the BWI community will step forward, and provide PBP, thoughts, analysis, etc. during the tournament. Tournaments are a bit more of a challenge to cover than a dual is. it helps if folks can post in advance which mat PSU wrestlers will be on, and then to provide periodic updates of how the various PSU wrestlers have done throughout the day, while also covering the individual matches. I have very little free time on Sunday, but during the little I have, I'll be checking this thread to see how the PSU wrestlers are doing.

Finally gave in, got flo. Looking forward to the Penn State wrestle offs
I was going to until I saw i either have to drop $29 for a month or over 120 something bucks for the year. Thought I'd find a free trial. Ill just keep the big ten/big ten plus subscription for the meat of the schedule and listen to the radio for the early season stuff like I have done previously. It's nostalgia anyways. My grandfather used to listen to all of the matches on the radio. Better commentary that way anyways

Probable matches im looking forward to:

Desmond vs Flynn QF
Desmond vs Farmer SF
Blaze vs TK Davis/Berginic Final
Nasdeo vs Frezza QF
Perry vs Fedalen QF
Duke vs Sealey Final
Mitchell vs Filipowicz Final
Henckel vs Fine SF
Cunningham vs Ayzerov SF
Connor Mirasola vs Frable Final
Cole Mirasola vs Cochran SF

Looks like Cael got his preference at most weights. Only disappointed that we didn’t get Cochran on Colbert’s (ranked top 15) side.

Casey & Asher are rolling around on Mat 4 right now.

I'll be around to chip in some PBP for most of the day.
