I know that hurts us, but that PSU guy has the worst hair in America. I love seeing these guys run into the stands and hug their parents.

Looks like the 11th seed Miles Martin (Ohio St) beat the top seed Bo Nickal (PSU), so OSU has caught us. We're still on the podium, though, which is really awesome.

AirplaneBottleofBourbon described it really well. The scoring is mainly based on control rather than body position. Body position comes in to play when looking at back points or a pin.

Could have been even better but NC State had a rough tournament relative to expectations. Coming in I thought they had a stronger tournament team than we did even though we had the better dual meet team.

And this is exactly why they originally planned to redshirt Hamilton. With his height, he is an ok shot blocker and rebounder, but obviously needed/needs work on his offensive game and in his positioning on the defensive end.

This, Grayson Allen getting face-punched (hopefully) will make my weekend a lot better. Would've been nice if Butler could've closed the deal.

Wikipedia has a good summary on how points are scored, but a takedown doesn't have to be taking someone down. A better term would be back control. Getting behind the other guy is what gets you the takedown.

Why are there points for not taking them to the ground? That last match between Illinois and PSU wrestler seemed more slap happy and attempts than actually doing anything.

Always and forever, but tonight we have an actual rooting interest in it. If one of their two finalists wins without bonus points, they tie us for third. If both win, or one wins with bonus points we fall to fourth. And if both their finalists lose, we claim third place all by ourselves.

Penn State's ZPain Retherford has beaten Iowa's Brandon Sorenson. Convincingly. VT is now locked in to 3rd or 4th place, depending on how the two Buckeyes yet to wrestle perform.
