PSU's team lead is down to 3 points after this morning's consolation matches. They have 5 wrestlers in the finals to OK State's 2, but only one of them is a solid favorite (Ed Ruth).

“Sanderson did not lose a match in four seasons of collegiate wrestling. “
I was there for just about everyone of the home meets. Have some good Cael stories.

I’m getting ready to switch over from basketball to watch this on ESPN with the hope the two OSU wrestlers perform to their seeding and win their match to put OSU in position to win the championship. Performances by OSU wrestlers in the consolations have been key in keeping this in reach for #35.

[FlJoePa]

If everything falls according to seed (w/ no bonus points), PSU will be down 1 point going into Taylor/Dake match.

How about that Taylor stat: 100 wins, 93 with bonus points. Amazing. I hope Dake actually wrestles tonight.

Good luck to the Cowboys!

ESPN showed Dake’s tweet about tonight where he called it “epic” — good word but I’m not sure there’s a word that really covers it.

[T-Bird45]

Your guy wrestled tough at 174, both were afraid to make a mistake so they wrestled tight. Perry was lucky not to catch another stall to lose the match.

[FlJoePa]

Ruth got the major. We just need another win...and we have to face Kilgore, Delgado, and Dake. That’s all.

This is nerve wracking to say the least.

[FlJoePa]

Way to go Q!!! Awesome. Congrats to the Cowboys for the fight they put up.

[T-Bird45]

Congrats on the 197 win and the NCAA championship again!

[FlJoePa]

Now I can relax a bit and wait for Taylor to pin Dake ;)

No cable here. Your thread is my only source right now. Thanks!

[FlJoePa]

I’ll let you know when Taylor/Dake starts and give you updates. 2 more matches to get through first.

[ntnychik]

Thanks! I appreciate it!

I think it’s Taylor’s time but Dake is indeed like death and taxes. Of course if you looked at my NCAA bracket you’d know not to bet the house on my picks.

Dake up 3-2 after 1st period

Dake wins 5-4 on riding time (1:13). Dake got hit with a point for stalling which made it 4-4.

Thanks for the updates. Stalling...yuck. Was hoping this would be Taylor’s night. Congrats to the Nittany Lions for championship, Wright and Ruth wins, and everyone who got us there. Now I get to hear the bragging from the People’s Republic of Ithaca tomorrow.
