I bet on OK St at -300 on Sportsbook.com

OSU won their first round against Citadel 45-3, no big suprise there. Next up, 8th seed Cornell.

Looks like 6th seed Minnesota really struggled to put away unseeded Central Michigan, winning 20-18. It came down to the final match at 285, with Konrad winning over Stouffer 3-2 (assuming the matches were wrestled in weight order)

OSU advances to semis, beating Cornell 23-12. #1 ranked Zack Esposito was upset by highly ranked Dustin Manotti at 149

3 seed Michigan was upset by #6 seed Minnesota, 21-16 in part because MI has had to forfeit at 125 thus far in the tournament.

SEMIFINALS:

Oklahoma State vs. Lehigh

Minnesota vs. Illinois

8:30 p.m. - D1 Semis Good matches coming up 4sure.

central michigan is a very good program. they would wrestle any team in the country that tough in a duel.

OSU squeaked by Lehigh. I've seen different reports of the score ranging from 20-18 to 20-14, but it was 20-16 by my count. Lots of close matches with top-ranked wrestlers. Mocco finished things off with a pin in under a minute to secure the win for the Cowboys.

Illinois advances over Minnesota, 20-15.

OSU v. Illinois in the finals.

Anyone have a prediction for that match-up?

Hey Odessa, when is my bet going to pay out? Tournament ended yesterday around 5pm.

CMU would have won the opener with Minnesota had Borrelli at 133 not blown out his knee. He tore his PCL and is done for the year.
