I pointed out to you that the record in the brackets is coming out of the tournament, and gave as proof McKenna's record. Are you still under the wrong impression. "Cornell" doesn't say that. Read it again: Please stop digging.

If you'll recall, Cornell came within an escape by Foca (losing 3-2 to Starocci on riding time) of beating Penn State last year; they return pretty much the same team. At 141, PSU loses Lee and Cornell gains with Cornella (5th at U20 Worlds this year). Cardenas lost 4-2 to Dean, and Cardenas just got a silver at the U23 Worlds.

Well, you convinced me with your superior reasoning.

Wrong. As I posted earlier: He was 24-0 his sophomore year going into NCAAs. If you want to be picky, he was 22-0, as two of the victories were over non-D1 opponents. So either 29-0 or 27-0, but not 31-0. The bracket lists him at 29-0, so we'll go with that. You should be aware that the W-L record shown in the brackets reflects their records *after* the NCAA tournament, not going in. Just look at McKenna, who is listed at 24-3: his three season losses were to Nick Lee and to Yianni twice (in the dual and in the NCAA final). That's your error.

125 - Howard vs. Lajoie - Lajoie wins by Dec. 3-0 Cornell 133 - Bravo-Young vs. Arujau - B-Y wins by Dec. 3-3 tie 141 - Bartlett vs. Cornella - Cornella wins by Dec. 6-3 Cornell 149 - Van Ness vs Yianni - Yianni wins by MD. 10-3 Cornell 157 - Berraclough vs. Yapoujian - Yapoujian wins by Dec. - 13-3 Cornell 165 - Facundo vs Ramirez - Ramirez wins by Dec. - 16-3 Cornell 174 - Starocci vs. Foca - Starocci wins by Dec. - 16-6 Cornell 184 - Brooks vs. Loew - Brooks wins by MD. - 16-10 Cornell 197 - Dean vs. Cardenas - Dean wins by Dec. - 16-13 Cornell 285 - Kerkvliet vs Fernandes - Kerkvliet wins by Dec. - 16-16 tie!

Dake's streak was 77. 5-0 at NCAAs his sophomore year, then 35-0 and 37-0. Yianni is sitting at 75 straight (18-0 since losing to Eierman, then 29-0 and 28-0). If he wrestles the whole Cornell schedule (he's likely to skip CKLV due to the World Cup), he'd end up with 106 straight wins (and a career of 125-1). Add in his HS streak, and he will have gone 335-1 since his last loss in HS.
