OT: NCAA Thread v8

[Hollywood Cannon]

Go Ducks! VCU was too scared so they got COVID.

 

[wankstifier]

Wtf is happening... The PSU program is legendary

 

[Cody Webster]

Virginia is a bunch of cowards

 

[Cody Webster]

Tough cover on the OU/Mizzou game

 

[Elvis P]

VA was not only a 4 seed, but also the national champ.

 

[Elvis P]

Lisa Byington, Steve Smith, and Lauren Shehadi from MLB are great and I can't get enough of them. I hope they're a trio next round and next year.

 

[flyershockey]

Meh, UVA wasn't that good this year anyway. They were still riding the national champion wave.

This is a really weird season (obviously). No one has been consistently good from start to finish.

Just throwing this out there, but this seems like the type of year where a Boeheim coached team makes a run.

NCAA D1 champs just wrapped up. A few notes:

PSU went 4/4 in finals matches. First wins in program history for 133 and 141 classes. They’re underdogs in all but the 184 match.

Shane Griffith won at 165 for Stanford. He wore a plain black singlet for the tournament because Stanford decided to end their wrestling program.

Iowa won the tournament despite having only one champion—Spencer Lee, who fought a torn ACL in a second knee to his 3rd finals victory. Lee’s an all time great. Hopefully his knees hold up for the international stage.

Gable Steveson won his first title. The celebration flip:



Steveson cruised to victory, though he might have some competition next season. True freshman AJ Ferrari won at 197 and stated that he’d wrestle at heavyweight in the 2021-2022 season.

Ferrari is a total heel; can’t wait for this matchup.

 

[Elvis P]

Ferrari is scared. 197 is always > than heavy.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Is Texas back?

 

[Elvis P]

Wow. Still #1 in my pool with 82.3%!

 

[Cody Webster]

Is Texas back?

Confirmed: not back

Here’s a funny moment from last night:



The coach, Metcalf, is somewhat infamous for pushing his celebrating opponent mid-flip in the 2009 national championship, causing him to land on his back. Here, the interference is more wholesome.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Illinois got flat out beat. They weren’t even in that game for a single second. Embarrassing.

Agreed. Half my Final Four is gone and I picked MI & IA to go to the Final Four, but not Baylor or Gonzaga.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

I want a liter of cola.

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

Oral Roberts clearly disrespected with their seeding.

 

[trostol]

so yeah..totally weird year in sports

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

Oral Roberts clearly disrespected with their seeding.

They should be seeded 69th always for holding on to that ridiculous name.

[Hollywood Cannon]

Unreal start to this Oregon/Iowa game.

 

[Cody Webster]

Unreal start to this Oregon/Iowa game.

Defense optional?

 

[FLYguy3911]

I dig a college game on pace for 200 total points.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Defense optional?

In college, i'll allow it.

 

[Cody Webster]

I dig a college game on pace for 200 total points.

You know the final score of this game is going to be like 72-68 now
