2021 NCAAs Session 3B Thread

[Tom McAndrew]

PSU looked good early on in Session 3A, but an injury to Berge and then Howard getting pinned (and possibly injured) took some of the shine off of the session.

When:
Thursday, March 19, 3 pm EDT

Where:
St. Louis, MO

TV:
ESPNU

Video Stream:
EPSN3 -- they'll have coverage on all 8 mats. You can watch multiple mats simultaneously on your computer, or watch only 1 mat -- you decide.

Audio Stream:
Jeff Byers's radio PBP will be streamed. I don't believe there is a pre-session portion, with coverage starting at 3 pm EDT. You can access the audio stream at:

https://gopsusports.com/watch/?Live=1037&type=Live

PBP:
Unfortunately, I'm out for PBP in this session. I have something else to attend to. Hopefully, others can step forward and provide PBP.

I'll be back for Session 4 tonight.

Team Scoring:
The best place, IMHO, to get updated team scoring is the Penn State Wrestling Club's web site. You can access the virtual team scoring at:

Penn State Wrestling Club

PSU Sports, college wrestling, stats, schedules, merchandise, clothing, rosters

Mat Assignments:
I post upcoming PSU mat assignments as I learn of them. Others do as well; we try to help each other out during NCAAs. The best sources I have found for mat assignments in past Nationals were TrackWrestling (go to their dashboard) or the Twitter account of Penn State Wresting (@pennstateWREST).

Let's keep it going, PSU

 

[WEAREPSU_LI]

Hopefully this session goes better than the 3rd session ended. Sheesh.

[Tom McAndrew]

okay, that's it for me in this thread. I've got to get ready for the schedule conflict I have.

keep it civil, and as always:
- use the Quote function
- provide scores of matches
- try to inform others of mat assignments for upcoming matches involving PSUers

 

[nittinsc]

Thank you Tom!

We’ll be good, Tom. We promise.

If you tell us you will be thanked for it!

 

[GogglesPaizano]

Hey guys it's all good. A decade ago top 5 was pure gold. We are spoiled, that's all. When the dust settles we still have Cael and a stable full of young studs.

Can't wait to see what our upper weights do this afternoon, and regardless we have waited 2 years to see this elite level of folkstyle. I will even look forward to watching the bad guys kids go at it. 3 days is just way too short.

 

[Dogwelder]

Is there something that scores even more team points than a pin? Maybe make the opponent cry and quit the sport? Because that’s what we need our remaining wrestlers to do.

Lol well murin has a head start on the crying so there's that I kid I kid. But throwing the head gear was a little off for iowa lol

 

[PAgeologist]

Not to nitpick and it really doesn't matter, but shouldn't this be Session 3B? Still the QF round, just the upper half weights.

Yeah, Session 4 is the semis. This will get confusing later @Tom McAndrew .

 

[MikeDerukey]

According the brackets Mekhi Lewis is out. M. Forfeit.

 

[KidTwist]

I am sick of Iowa not shaking hands after matches and running away like little whimps! That should cost them a Team point! That will force them to learn proper sportsmanship!.

I wondered about that, and saw it called 3B in one place, and 4 in another place. I didn't have a lot of time to resolve that, so I went with 4.

3B makes more sense, even if it may be technically incorrect, so I'm going to change the Subject line and the text in my OP

Matt Assignments:

Starocci - mat 5
Brooks and Kerk. - mat 3
Beard - mat 6

Frisbee headgear could be a new tiebreaker, closest to the center of the mat!

 

[dsites52]

Hey, you guys listening to JB, can you let me know how Hidlay does? I’m prolly gonna be stuck watching Brooks at that point.

Odd, I now see that it's being referred to as Session 4 everywhere else, which I guess means that tonight is Session 5 and tomorrow is 6 & 7. Which of course goes against everything that's right in the world, but it's a weird year.

 

[MikeDerukey]

Can we post PBP of the Hidlay Brothers, too ??


[ J/K !! ... I kid, I kid !! ]

Well this board meme is going to get beaten to death over the next ten years.

 

[dsites52]

Oooo Valencia looked bad. Hammy?

 

[nitlion6]

The ref doing the Wetzel match is not very good at what he does, nor is the 2nd ref.

 

[82bordeaux]

Marinelli out!!!

 

[Cali_Nittany]

BOOM!!!

 

[sneedram55]

Down goes Marinelli

 

[tikk10]

Wow, Marinelli goes down in SV.

 

[dsites52]

Down goes Marinelli!!!

 

[psu_83_drummer]

Down goes Bull!

 

[MikeDerukey]

Down goes THE BULL!

 

[BruceK-PSU83]

Marinelli bounced in the quarters. Again.

 

[NitneLiun]

The Bull goes down!

 

[mjroselli]

Wow...

The bull just got the horns!

 

[PSUcup1]

The bull being the bull

 

[PAgeologist]

AM goes down again. As predictable as death and taxes

 

[JSCHERER]

Boom!!!!

 

[CJFisJoePaII]

Down goes Marenelli.

 

[dmm53]

Marinelli goes down and Valencia is about to lose after an injury.
