And the showcase matches...
FINALS
133: #2 Austin Desanto vs #1 Roman Bravo-Young (Penn State)
141: #2 Jaydin Eierman vs #1 Nick Lee (Penn State)
165: #2 Alex Marinelli vs #4 Cameron Amine (Michigan)
285: #2 Tony Cassioppi vs #1 Gable Steveson (Minnesota)
I talked about these matches briefly here. An updated bracket is available here.
TEAM SCORE
1) 116.0 -- Michigan (5 finalists, 4 in consolation semifinals, 1 in 7th place match)
2) 111.5 -- Penn State (5 finalists, 2 in consolation semifinals, 1 in 7th place match)
3) 109.0 -- Iowa (4 finalists, 4 in consolation semifinals, 2 in 7th place matches)
4) 72.0 -- Ohio State (1 finalist, 5 in consolation semifinals, 2 in 7th place matches)
5) 70.5 -- Northwestern (1 finalist, 5 in consolation semifinals, 1 in 7th place match)
I broke down the team race here. Michigan and Penn State could be set up for a pretty thrilling battle through the finals. Iowa isn't out of the picture, either, but needs to be just about perfect today to claim a third straight Big Ten Tournament championship.
I won't be able to post results here during the consolation round matches, so if someone wants to pick up the baton and do that, it would be much appreciated. I should be back in time for the finals later this afternoon.
Go Hawks.
