Penn state fans can't stand the fact that their team isn't as great as they think it is Expand Two points. Not all who root for a team have the same mindset. Plenty of humble PSU wrestle fans wary of a tough loss. So far this year, the team has met the standard of great without a lot of flat/bad (team and each wrestler) days. But this tourney is so tough that PSU might falter from the seeds/expectations. Would be a big surprise to have them finish below 1st as a team, but as Spencer Lee teaches us, even the most vetted NCAA competitor can get knocked off. These risks make it fun for fans! As tough as Brooks looks at 197, the #2 seed has been off the charts this year as well. Brooks is human and that match could be one of the best ever. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamiti had it in the bag until about 90 seconds to go, and then he absolutely imploded. I don’t think Ramirez or Carr have ever felt anything like that. They also don’t have anywhere near the length to counter Mesenbrink that Hamiti does. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
