    2026 NCAA Wrestling Championship Official Thread

    The real difference is bonus points at this point. After Thursday morning, both programs were 10-0 but PSU was up close to 15 on us due to bonus. They go for the kill EVERY match. DT is working on that mentality. But if you want to win it all as a team, it is going to take bonus points to do it.

    It’s not that he lost, it’s how he lost. That last match was an awful effort.

    You are correct, he argued about neutral or top for so long, the ref threatened a stall. He needs to let David coach him. You can tell by the way David acts around Dee that he truly thinks Dee can be special. Dee just needs to trust the process and wrestle. Stop with trying to be flashy...

    Official Big 12 Championship Thread

    Not hating just my observation after watching every single match this year. After he lost last night he chunked his head gear. He only had himself to blame.

    Get Dee to quit thinking like a high school guy who is superior to most and only thinks he has to wrestle the last 30 seconds of a period to make a move and score.

    9th place?

    There is a wildcard at those weights and several seeded guys didn’t place so they called for 9th matches.

    Big 12 Brackets

    Do you award 1, 1.5, 2 or 3 points for each bye? All 4 are in play for every match. If you just give 1, is it fair to assume no #1 or #2 seed would have not scored bonus points? There is no truly fair way when team scores are in play. They have come up with a system that attempts to be as...

    Big 12 Brackets

    But you lose the advancement points for that match which in a close tournament could cost you a championship. If we got 9 first round byes, that costs us a minimum of 9 team points and a maximum of 27 if all 9 were pins. I would hate to lose the team title because we got 9 first round byes.

    They don't typically open the top is ticket sales don't support the need. I don't think it was open last year.

    Roster

    Wrong Mammen in IL. Kirk's kids both graduated from Edmond Memorial. Neither wrestled much - 1 due to injury and the other was better at football and went to Air Force Academy.

    Question - Performance Enhancing Substances

    Don't think there is testing during season but there is testing at every NCAA championship. Typically random testing but all athletes are eligible for selection.

    Expected Team Points 1/20/26

    Not wise probably but could be fun to let him go in unseeded and just blow the bracket to pieces by sending seeded guys to consolations way early and then some not making AA which could greatly affect team score.
