NCAA Wrestling Championship: The Finals, Saturday 6pm -- ESPN Broadcast

[Badger Pete]

What a fantastic day yesterday! 8 All-Americans and 3 going for the title!! Right now, team is in a solid 2nd place.

Huskers have a total of 11 national champions so hope we can add 3 more tonight.

Once again, ESPN+ for session 5. Championships are at 6pm and will be on ESPN.

LFG!!!!!!

Wrestle backs will be a big help towards a runner up spot secured. Need to extra wins. Great finishes show best depth means success.

 

[Walleye79]

Impressed with the Huskers. Pumped for the finals. What a run they are having

 

[PvilleHuskerTim]

Every team can say "what if" but .... what if Pinto would have wrestled to his potential and also earned AA status. I think Huskers would have had a chance to upset PSU and become national champs!

We have Smith, Van Dee, Allred, and McDanel wrestling for 7th-8th place. Minto still needs to finish things off. He has a chance at 3rd place but is assured of no worse than 6th place.

Edit: I see PSU is doing really well in wrestlebacks. They have locked up the team championship.

 

[Badger Pete]

Here we go! Minto up next on mat 4.

 

[Badger Pete]

Minto with a 7 point throw!!!! Comes back to win it 8-4!!!!! Awesome!

Minto with a 7 point throw!!!! Comes back to win it 8-4!!!!! Awesome!

ESPNU is televising the matches. Unfortunately they showed Kasak vs Shapiro and nothing for Minto. Sad.

 

[Badger Pete]

Minto going for 3rd!! Sweet!

 

[PvilleHuskerTim]

Smith and Van Dee both win to finish 7th.

Smith really showed up and was super quick on his shots. Almost had a tech fall

I missed it. Just heard on the PA right after Van Dee won.

 

[cubsker]

Is the 3rd place match tonight with the finals?

 

[Badger Pete]

Let’s go Silas!

 

[Badger Pete]

Is the 3rd place match tonight with the finals?

No. Championship bouts are solo at 6pm

 

[cubsker]

Silas wins to take 7th as well.

 

[cubsker]

I'm McDanel's bad luck charm.

 

[cubsker]

8th still a hell of a showing this weekend.

 

[Badger Pete]

Silas wins to take 7th as well.

Absolutely amazing!!!

 

[Badger Pete]

8th still a hell of a showing this weekend.

The dude was a 20 seed. We will take it!

He wrestled his ass off for Big Red!

 

[Badger Pete]

If you had the opportunity to view on ESPN+, Trent Hidlay is a breathe of fresh air as an announcer.

He has a soft voice, buts adds so much depth to the booth. He spoke about what it is like on finals day. What is was like to weigh at 9am and not wrestle until 9pm. What he did. What he ate. He said he watched two movies to calm himself down until the finals.

Good stuff!

Routing for Ramos from Purdue to beat Lilledahl from Pedo State

 

[skintight]

Very close to locking up 2nd team trophy not counting bonus points

Routing for Ramos from Purdue to beat Lilledahl from Pedo State

Damn. Ramos just got stuck.

 

[Badger Pete]

Minto up 3-0 on his first shot.

 

[Badger Pete]

And just got reversed at the edge of the mat.

 

[Badger Pete]

Minto out and then gets taken down. Yikes.

 

[Badger Pete]

#2 Hall of West Virginia giving Chris a wrestling lesson. Minto is a gamer but he is outclassed by the senior.

 

[cubsker]

Got to be tough, just physically, for freshmen to go up against seniors.

 

[cubsker]

Somebody here called Minto doing well at nationals after struggling at big tens. Good call.

 

[Walleye79]

Just a side note Isaac Trimble for NCSt loss the 3rd place match at HWT. He is from Omaha

Does he have any eligibility left?

 

[Walleye79]

Unfortunately I don’t think so.

 

[PvilleHuskerTim]

Thought I just heard ESPN the finals will start at 184 tonight (6:00 CDT)? That means the Huskers trio will be later in the telecast. Can anyone confirm?

 

[skintight]

Huskers are up 14.5 points entering the Finals for 2nd.

NE has 3 finalists and Okla st has 3 finalists
4 points are awarded for the win, fall=+2, TF +1.5 MD +1

There is no way Gable Steveson is going to lose at 285

The Huskers have the 2nd place trophy in hand.

With that being said, lets get 3 CHAMPIONS.
