Tournament Thread: NCAA Wrestling Championships Session 1 Thur Noon

Don't scare me! I thought I wasn't live and it was something with his shoulder.
Gravina wins 6 - 0.
A lot of wrestling left, but, Rutgers is positioned well
for a Top 10 team finish.
Rutgers will need to win some close matches to finish in the Top 10.
Some of their wrestlers were seeded suspectly high... rewarded for easy schedule and apparently one of their coaches is on the seeding council or something..
Hm. I thought they usually do the first round of wrestlebacks in Session 1.
I have a dinner at 6pm I can't get out of.... no appetizers or desert for me!
ESPNU just had the graphic up and we were at #7. Now I know we'll fade some but it was pretty cool for a minute to see us that high. We used to not score 8.5 pts. in the entire tournament.
Took this off the NCAA site
Penn State finishes with a bang ... PIN ... for Nevills ... Iowa (18.5), Ohio State (17), Penn State (16), NC State (12), Michigan (11), Oklahoma State (9), Rutgers (8.5), Arizona State (8), Cornell (8), Minnesota (8) ... your top 10

Too early to be concerned about team standings. When you only qualify six its hard to have great expectations there. JVB with the fall was the positive surprise in Round 1. Hopefully Scott D and DeLuca can make some noise in the wrestle backs. No reason to hold anything back.
It took about 7 hours to get here for your answer. We have tough matches tonight with NS getting Moisey who was NCAA runner-up 2 years ago. JVB gets Monday who beat him 16-4 in dual meet in January. RL gets White who he beat 2-1 in SV 1 in dual meet. Gravina gets # 3 seed Ryan Preisch of Lehigh who is tough. Need to have our wrestling shoes on tonight.
Rutgers wrestling twitter account shows what mat each RU guy is on when they are on deck. ESPN 3 shows all eight mats. You can click on what mat you want to see. I'll switch to Mat 1-8 on ESPN 3 after viewing RU wrestling twitter update.
Flowrestling has a section in their floarena called "Upcoming Matches", its pretty useful for finding out what mats guys will be on prior to seeing it on the banner or by RUWR twitter.
