As I impatiently wait for the B1G Tourney to start next weekend (Mar. 6-7), I was looking back at some of the record book stuff. It's always exciting to wonder and watch whether any new records will be set.

EDIT: Here's a link to the record book: https://bigten.org/documents/2021/1/14/Wrestling.pdf

“Three-time NCAA champion and two-time Hodge Trophy winner Bo Nickal will join the broadcast team for the upcoming Big Ten Tournament as a guest analyst, the Big Ten Network announced Tuesday.”

Hmmm, two Hodge trophy’s?

Bo came in 2nd to Zain in 2018 and that was quite a feat to have #'s 1 and 2 on the same team. I was kind of disappointed at the banquet that they didn't have them both get their picture taken with the Hodge.
We are truly blessed as PSU wrestling fans
 
Also confirming what others have speculated that mat-by-mat is showing on the BTN schedule: https://www.btnplus.com/schedule?day=2021-03-06&sid=WR

It is interesting that the semifinals are not on BTN+. I would hope BTN is smart enough to do a side by side view and not just pick one semifinal to showcase on the TV broadcast since they don't appear to be on plus: https://btn.com/2021/03/02/big-ten-...ded-big-ten-wrestling-championships-coverage/
BTN has confirmed they will do a split screen for the semifinals on Saturday night.
