Good morning fellow 11wer's! Day 1 of the wrestling national championships are in the books, appreciate everyone contributing to that first thread as I was indisposed with familial duties last night, but I did get to watch the second session yesterday so I'll provide a bit of a recap here before we launch into some day 2 things to watch. The Buckeyes have 3 wrestlers left in the championship brackets:
149 Pounds
Kind of.: This will forever be a what-if? for this Wisconsin Badger fan. Austin Gomez’s (Wisconsin) injury drastically increased the likelihood that 1-seed Yianni Diakomihalis will.
With Paddy Gallagher and Gavin Hoffman earning at-large bids to join seven teammates who qualified via the Big Ten Championships, OSU will be well-represented in the Sooner State.
With the finish to the Big Ten wrestling tournament this past weekend, at large bids for the NCAA tournament and post-conference championship qualifiers have been announced. No seeding or brackets are out yet, but come March 16th (Stone Cold Steve Austin Day!) the Buckeyes will be well represented on the mat: 125- Ohio State is not sending a 125lber to Tulsa 133- Jesse Mendez, true freshman, some considering him the next big thing on the national scene at 133. 141- Dylan D'Emilio
