PSU recruit Wes Phipps winning Dist X championship last weekend
Penn State could still win this & I say this b/c I have been hearing all sorts of melt-down cries. But pls wake up... ha.
Tomorrow
PSU has 15 matches
MN, IL & tOSU have 13
& IA 10
Currently
MN 117
IA 112.5
PSU 111
Here is some realism & some optimism....
125-McD wins Nico gets 3rd (Nico vs #5 Mele, the #4 Delgado)
MN 0-117
IA 4-116.5
PSU 4.5-115.5
133-Steiber wins over Ramos, Martelotti gets 7th (Martelotti vs #7 Kiley rematch of match Martelotti lost in last second)
MN 1-118
IA 0-116.5
PSU 1-116.5
141 Russell beats Marion, Pearsall gets 7th (Vs US Nelson of Purdue)
MN 4.5-122.5
IA 0-116.5
PSU 1-118.5
149 Tank wins-KEY (vs #2 Ness, Kelly eliminate)
MN 0-122.5
IA 0-116.5
PSU 4-122.5
157 Welch beats DSJ, Dylan gets 3rd THIS IS KEY (vs #5 Demas & then #3 Green-#4 Jones winner, both Dylan beat by 1-2 points each)
MN-122.5
IA-116.5
PSU-4.5-127
165 DT wins, Yohn gets 5th (Big match #7 Yohn vs #5 Polz & then maybe #3 Kokesh if Yohn wins)
MN 1-123.5
IA 116.5
PSU-4-131
174-Ed wins, Lofthouse gets 3rd, Here the Tournament is almost out of reach (vs #2 Storley who lost to Mat brown at the Scuffle)
MN 123.5
IA 4.5-121
PSU-4-135
184- Steinhaus wins, Quentin gets 3rd & Gambrall takes 4th...also KEY for Q-here it is out of reach (vs #8 Hinton who Q beat fairly handily before)
MN-4-127.5
IA-3.5-124.5
PSU-4.5-139.5-
197-Yohn gets 3rd, Morgan gets 5th (vs Yohn & then maybe #8 Kissel if he loses to Yohn)
MN-4.5-132
IA 124.5
PSU-1.5-141
285-Nelson wins, Cam gets 3rd (vs #7 Chalfant & #5 McMullan)
MN 4-136
IA 124.5
PSU-4.5-145.5
THE KEY is Nico & Dylan winning 3rd place (& Frank doing his thing). Nico & Dylan have the toughest route BUT even without that we have enough points to win. If they do, we just about have it locked up provided that McD wins, Steiber wins & Russell wins ALL very likely.
This also takes into account that one of the Dardanes finishes 3rd & the other one 5th.
Welch beats DSJ thats a toss up. In order for Iowa to win the team title, 5 of their 6 finalists are going to have to win & Gambrall is going to have to finish 3rd. Iowa could go 1 for 6 tomorrow in the finals. MN could go 2 for 5 in the finals.
All of this math from an Art major...

Your making my head spin, I'm just going to enjoy some good wrestling tomorrow hopefully. MN wrestled really well this second session. I think we only lost matches at 141 Dardanes in overtime against #1 Russell and Zilverburg getting knocked out of tourney by Morse? Really proud of their effort this evening. Its going to be a barn burner which I think we ALL knew way back in November. Can't wait to see this thing played out to its conclusion.

Place both hands around your throat and make hacking noises and you have a simple explanation of Penn States showing today.
Your math is making MY head spin. I think its possible things could go your way tomorrow. It will take a true team effort, if we lose by less than 5 I will blame the pigtail gifts you got in the opening round.![]()

Maybe this will send it into orbit...
Let's even try to be pessimistic about this & see where it gets us...
125-McD wins Nico gets 4th
MN 0-117
IA 4-116.5
PSU 4.5-114.5
133-Ramos over Steiber, Dardanes 3rd, Martelotti gets 8th
MN 1-121.5
IA 0-120.5
PSU 1-114.5
141 Marion beats Russell, Pearsall gets 8th
MN 4.5-126
IA 0-124.5
PSU 1-114.5
149 Tank wins
MN 0-126
IA 0-124.5
PSU 4-118.5
157 DSJ beats Welch, Dylan gets 4th
MN-126
IA-128.5
PSU-3.5-122
165 DT wins, Yohn gets 3rd-THIS IS KEY FOR MN TO WIN
MN 4.5-130.5
IA 128.5
PSU-4-126
174-Ed wins, Lofthouse gets 3rd
MN 130.5
IA 4.5-133
PSU-4-130
184- Steinhaus wins, Quentin gets 4th & Gambrall takes 3rd
MN-4-134.5
IA-4.5-137.5
PSU-3.5-133.5-
197-Yohn gets 3rd, Morgan gets 5th
MN-4.5-139
IA 137
PSU-1.5-135
285-Nelson wins, Cam gets 3rd
MN 4-143
IA 137
PSU-4.5-139.5
NOW you can see how important it is for the Dardanes (& Yohn) to do well for MN to win & why even Martelotti & Pearsall winning their matches is important.
Even in this scenario that favors the Gophers if Nico, Dylan finish 3rd & Frank & Bryan finish 7th PSU wins b/c that is just 4 extra points & enough to beat the most optimistic predictions for MN

MN vs IA 2
PSU vs MN 2
PSU vs IA 1
