Hard to describe how close this is. If MN wins both their matches, they win (unless PSU wins both their matches by fall or tech fall).
If MN splits and PSU wins both their matches, PSU wins.
Starting order starts at 174 and ends at 165. This could come down to Taylor needing a win or possibly a pin to win the team.
I despise the ncaa and espn, but this has been a great production from start to finish.
If Ruth takes care of business early, then it could come down to someone stopping this at the end of the night:

They move it around for drama. They did the same last year w/ Dake/Taylor - that was the last match and they hyped it to the max.
Good for the sport. I also enjoyed Billy Baldwin’s commentary. As an actor/color guy - he showed his knowledge of the sport (he was a good college wrestler) and did a fine job imo.
I hope they have him back on tonight.

I remember the first time I saw David Taylor wrestle. I was impressed to say the least. He’s an animal. I think he changed weight classes in HS in order to wrestle some other standout in the finals. That took guts.

One of my regrets - and I’m in FL obviously - is that I haven’t gotten back to Rec Hall in the past 4 years to watch Taylor and Ruth (and Nico, for that matter) wrestle in person. The b1g channel is great, but Rec Hall in person is something else.
Should be crazy and electric tonight. Time to put it all out there.

This has been one very exciting tournament. I have watching on ESPN3 where you can pick which mat you want to see. That's the first time I've done that and it works great. I'm looking forward to tonight and watching it on the big screen. For what is worth, here's my picks for finals tonight.
174 - (1) Perry (OKSt) over (2) Howe (OU) by decision.
184 - (2) Ruth (PSU) over (1) Sheptock (MARY) by dec
197 - (1) Heflin (tOSU) over (2) Cox (MIZZ) by dec
285 - (2) Gwaizdowski (NCSt) over (1) Nelson (MiNN) by fall
125 - (2) Garrat (COR) over (1) Delgado (IlL) in SV
133 - (3) Ramos (IOWA) over (5) Graff (Wiscy) by dec
144 - (2) Stieber (tOSU) over (4) Carter (VT) by MD
149 - (5) Tsirtsis (NW) over (11) Kindig (OKSt) by MD
157 - (3) Dieringer (OKSt) over (9) Ness (MINN) by dec
165 - (1) Taylor (PSU) over (2) Caldwell (OKSt) by fall
Ok, the last one is a bit of wish on my part. I'd like to see Taylor set PSU's all time pin record. (He's tied right now.) He'll at least get a major.

Yes. Hugh and Series win by Gwizzz. I thought he had it in him, after beating Nelson twice last summer.

Watch Garrett here. These Cornell kids are tough. Delgado will probably try to stall his way to a win.

Once the first TD was denied, they couldn’t give him the other since it was essentially the same position. Entertaining match, though.

It looks like Cael and Franklin are becoming friends. Franklin really likes Cael a lot. They are going on a coaches tour together ... raise money.
