Packard Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 Penn State won the team title, but they went 2-3 in the finals including one going for his third title. Cornell knocks off a potential Penn State 3 timer and finishes with Yianni as a 4 timer Feel like Penn State/Iowa a few years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Cinnabon Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 Yes. They are amazing. Their fans probably feel better than Penn State fans like me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We do feel good about the finals but still empty inside without that team title. That's the ultimate goal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scourge165 Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 Yes. Cornell won the Night. PSU won the Tournament obviously and their young talent HAS to be deflating for other teams, but Cornell had an incredible night. The Cornell-PSU thing looked like it might be getting more interesting if the Gibson/Basset family was headed there, but as they're not... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHROMEBIRD Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 Yianni wrestled a great match and achieved a huge milestone with 4 titles, but I think Vito stole the show. KOT, Parris, and Glory also wrestled tough but Vito just took it to the next level and then some. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I'd say that PSU and Cornell did equally well in terms of number of champions. In terms of team output, PSU scored 137.5 points and Cornell scored 76.5 points -- a difference of 61 points. I thought Vito and Yianni put on great shows. Kudos to them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dragit Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 Landmark tournament for Cornell with what they've been through. Head coach who built the program leaves. Extreme Covid restrictions Big Ten schools don't have to deal with. Former finalist leaves and wins at new school. Former finalist's brother amd coach who has two first place trophies of his own departs. Greatest college wrestler ever and former coach departs. And they get a four timer and Vito treats a world silver medalist and the guy with the longest winning streak in college like hapless workout partners. An absolutely extraordinary night for them. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Energy Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 All good regarding Cornell. I was emotionally drained in a good way. Ended on a very big high. I do think it is very fair to note that Penn State DOMINATED the tournament. 2 champs seeming like a down year is laughable. Just shows their level year to year. I am surprised that Cael didn’t get coach of the year. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pinnacle Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 I thought it would end up being Mason Parris, but I don't fault in any way that the OW went to Vito. Well deserved after that performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well deserved after that performance. Parris was dominant, but in terms of excitement generated - Vito was remarkable. Very few except Cornell fans (and maybe one Lehigh fan I can think of) thought Vito would win it all, but I don't think any of us expected him to win in such dominant fashion. Truly extraordinary performance. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Cinnabon Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 My vote was for Vito, but Parris did utterly destroy Cassioppi. Big Cass, while not a champ like RBY, is a very good wrestler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
