Bartlett beats Arujau. Watching Bassett so didn't see score but it was closer then it looked like it would be.
Bassett vs Valencia was awesome ! 11-10 Bassett
Bassett-Valencia was what it's all about. That was phenomenal!
Prime example of undefined pronoun.
Someone asked earlier about challenge bricks: They do have them, in the spirit of Las Vegas, they're dice! Just saw one fly in the Barraclough match.
Amine beats Carr!! Holy ****. Didn’t see that coming
Cam Amine just took out David Carr 6-3.
My eye test tells me something is definitely off with Kasak. He seems to be grabbing his head a lot.
The constant stoppages in Kasak matches are extremely concerning. I don’t know what’s going on - I don’t know if anyone knows what is going on. Awful situation.
Kasak beats Scott 7-6 but if he MFFs from there I don't think I'm the only one who would be surprised. We'll see.
I assume Kasak has been medically cleared to wrestle, from a concussion perspective, or he wouldn't be competing. And not watching, but I didn't see any post indicating that he was in concussion protocol.
Good job by Henckel vs Wick. Wick is very good. Has a win over Nolf recently. Wick does hold on to win 5-4 though
Evan Wick took out William Henckel in a 79-kilogram quarter, by decision, 5-4 sending him to the consolation bracket.
I think Henckel is the real deal. Not too worried about 174 next year
More Penn State connections make the semis
Tyler Kasak gutted his way through a 7-6 decision over former N.C. State All-American Ed Scott by decision, 7-6. The Nittany Lion needed numerous medical stoppages during the 70-kilogram quarter to deal with a bloody nose. He is into the semifinals, where he'll face Virginia Tech's Caleb Henson, who redshirted during the 2025-2026 college season after winning a 149-pound NCAA title the year before.Kasak joins Beau Bartlett, who took out Vito Arujau, Marcus Blaze, Kyle Dake, who beat Cade DeVos by decision, 3-0, and Luke Lilledahl as the Penn State connections to make tonight's semifinal round so far.
In other news, Evan Wick took out William Henckel in a 79-kilogram quarter, by decision, 5-4 sending him to the consolation bracket.

Man, based on what I saw during that match, I would not be, but they get a break, of course. He just needed a lot of time to get through that.
Kasak must have a broken nose or something. If any of those stoppages were questionable for concussion. Nick would have thrown in the towel.
That’s the confusing part. Medical staff has to be extremely perplexed. They can’t be so incompetent. By Kasak’s expressions, you’d think he was wrestling with a migraine out there.
Kennedy techs Truax 10-0 in 3:18 to send him to the consolation bracket.
Barraclough lost, as well, by decision 4-3 to Quincy Monday.
