Relieved to see Bonaccorsi get that W. He needed that in the worst way.

Forys and Reaghard are going to the National Tournament from the consolation bracket!

They combine with our 4 finalists who already earned berth to St. Louis. There is a slim chance another Panther could get grabbed for an at-large later on.

Pitt currently in 2nd behind Virginia. Bit of surprise, but I can't imagine they'll take more than two finals. HWT is going to be tense, Solomon was *not* pleased with Gwiazdowski the last time they wrestled.

I hope to catch it.

Should be replay on espn3

Virginia is ahead of us 79.5 to 61, but if Mikey proves worthy of the 1 seed and wins 149 (he lost to Barber last year, beat him this year), I think we'll finish with more finalists than Virginia, making for a heck of a tabulation down the stretch.

I have no idea what the score would be if it shakes out like below:

125 - Tech
133 - UVA
141 - Tech
149 - Pitt
157 - Tech
165 - UVA
174 - Pitt
184 - Pitt
197 - Duke
HWT - NC State

But it will be high drama.

Mikey wins 149 in sudden death OT by a takedown ......

three to go.

Agree .... and Thomusseit great on takedowns.

 

[goalieman]

Solomon a HUGE underdog in the 285 class .....

his opponent is the reigning national champion at 285 (Gwiazdowski of NCSU).

 

[goalieman]

Gwiazdowski beats Solomon 14-3 ....

Solomon runner up at 285.

Re: Gwiazdowski beats Solomon 14-3 ....
