- Start date
Griffith takes out Lewis 4-0. End to two amazing careers right there
And when you answer this great question, please also provide the number that did it with five bonus point wins.
So Kasak will be ranked #2 to start next season unless he takes a redshirt then SVN will be ranked #1?
Well, Bernie and Tyler definitely did their part this morning. Now let’s go get it tonight, men!
Maybe they'll be ranked #1 & #2! It's too bad we can't enter two at each weight!
True. Still, will be thrilled to get a pin in the finals but not counting on it.
We'd all be far happier to have more of our guys reach their goals.
That was 100% a takedown. I can see why they didn’t throw the brick if there is a limited amount throughout the tournament. Can you imagine not having a challenge in a national championship match because you used it there?
Anybody who's ever watched Tom Ryan at nationals can imagine it.
i like there guys , I pull for Hardy and Pinto also
That’s what I was thinking too. Don’t forget that we have good coaches AND smart coaches.
Margin now up to 84 pts over Michigan.
And how many times has it been done by a true freshman?
PSU now 41-7 at 2024 nationals, with 6 matches left.
tan Tom trying to slip Kasak a business card.
On the espn+ mat cast you could hear Basch mention that over the PA system in the arena
And that started the year as a backup at the weight class below
That's domination, wow! Byers was saying there is a 13 point difference between the #2-10 teams. It's Penn State, and then the rest of the pack way behind, fighting for second place. Crazy.

Tyler Kasak. Wow. 141 pounder, who is redshirting his true freshman year, and then Shayne Van Ness, returning 3rd place All American, going for a possible national championship, goes out with a season ending injury at 149.
Well, in ANY other program that is an INSTANT HOLE in the lineup. 80 percent of teams go to a backup and hopefully just make it to Nationals, but not expecting any points. 19 other percent will put a great recruit in as a freshman but that's usually not going to be successful. That's IF they HAVE a backup at the weight.... which Penn State DID NOT.
We had two very good backup 141 pounders in David Evans and Tyler Kasak, with David being a senior and Tyler the freshman.
And the freshman Kasak, won the battle in a VERY CLOSE competition with David, with both wrestlers moving UP to compete.
Then Kasak has an excellent season and gets a 7 seed to the dance, and promptly loses to a kid who he probably beats 9 out of 10 times.
Then wins seven straight matches and beats the 1, 3, AND 5 seeds on the way to All American and 3rd place.
Think about all that. This is why Cael Sanderson is the greatest coach AND Greatest wrestler ever, in the sport, AND this is why Penn State is the greatest dynasty in all of modern collegiate sports. MODERN, as in everything that came after the Oklahoma States of the 50s and 60s, the Iowa States of the 70s, and the Iowas of the 80s and 90s.

I am. What do you do when you don't obsess over a guys posts on a message board? 😂
The hate is real, Word is Tom Ryan threw one of his bricks for manning.
Did you hear that huge contingency of Wyoming Cowboy fans roar when Volk beat Davis in the blood round? Like...7, 8,000 people just going insane with joy.
Wyoming didn't bring more than 23 fans to KC, including the wives and kids of the coaches 😂
A bit of a humble brag perhaps. But I think I’ve moved up a weight since this tournie started.
Shoutout to his roommate Davis. Class.
I think JD Bergman also did it as a freshman but didn't start the season as a backup at the weight class below.
I just wish this team was fun to watch.
Cstroke - you really move up a weight !!
Geez, I have dropped a couple lbs, living on popcorn and coffee for 3 days.
Of course, I am bleary eyed and a nervous wreck.

My man, you have got to let this go. Fans are going to cheer against the favorites and root for the underdog. It's not unique to PSU wrestling.
I think to top it off as a team going 6-0 in the finals would go a long way to cementing this team as the best ever
Also, shoutout to Anthony Noto of Lock Haven. Awesome to see him battle back from a semifinal loss for 3rd place. Moore doing a nice job with a pretty young team.
Or perhaps the Lee-Kasak maneuver???
Our first winner clinches the margin record. Up by 84.5, Michigan has max additional 12 points —> We need 1.5 points.
Just so you know, Bernie is an awesome dude
