Session 4 Thread

[JCloned]

We will go in to Sat with lead. With Minn having more wrestlers alive, we will likely need at least two maybe all three to win in finals

Konrad wins...boo that!

 

[thunderdave]

This whole championship could come down to the heavyweight final match with Konrad tomorrow night.

ISU 83.5
Minn 80

I think thats the score.

Anyone know how OK State's doing?

 

[tec71]

what are the finals worth in team points tomorrow? still 7 in championships and 3.5 in the wrestlebacks?

Just watched Cael & Kurt on ESPN360 and if that doesn't pump you up I don't know what will!

5 for championship.
3.5 for 1st consolation, 1.5 for 2nd consolation (if my quick math is right)

 

[CrossCyed]

So, if my numbers are right, Minnesota has 5 alive (1 championship, 4 consolation) and we have 4 (3 championship, 1 consolation)

Yes.

The realist in me says we are not likely to win the championship because our 3 championship wrestlers get 0 points if they don't win. The consolation wrestlers can get 3.5 for one win and one loss (or 1.5 for one loss and one win). We'll need Travis to take 3rd and hope for good things with Trent, Backes, and Varner.

 

[CrossCyed]

Then again, I thought we had no chance coming into tonight with 3 out of 4 lower seeds, especially with our wrestlebacks going down.

 

[thunderdave]

Since we're in a position like this, where we need some Champions tomorrow, I can't think of anyone else I would rather have as a motivational speaker than our coach, Cael Sanderson.

 

[psyclonebill]

How is it that you get 0 points for getting 2nd place in the tourney?

 

[thunderdave]

Points have been award for getting to 2nd place, you only get more points if you can advance another notch up the ladder.

 

[thunderdave]

Tomorrow morning is Consolation Finals at 9am, Championship matches start at 7pm.

 

[CrossCyed]

We'll have a MUCH better idea of what we need by tomorrow afternoon. The nice thing is, though, things are in our control.

 

[superfan]

I have posted the matches of importance in a new thread.

I got it now, thanks for clearing it up.
