2026 NCAA Championship Session VI Thread

[Nitlion1986]

This would've been good sarcasm without everything before "but."

We won 6 of 8 in the semis = 75%.

Yeah, that's probably down a little from the around 80% historically but holy hell we just had 8 national semifinalists and won 3/4 of those matches.

If that's a down year ...

Pretty sure we were 8 for 8 in the QF.
14-2 for a 87.5% winning percentage on Friday. Not a program in the country that would say no to an annual Friday winning percentage like that.

This won't be good if luke can't score

 

[PSUcup]

Again. That made no sense to me by Luke

 

[Sunshine88!]

Fans Gotta Yell like Rec Hall before

 

[WV lion]

Another scoreless first periods, and no stalls

 

[marylovesthelions]

No. Look, it’s splitting hairs, but before last year, PSU had 26 one-seeds under Cael and produced 21 champions from them. That’s 81%.

The past 2 years we’ve had 11 one-seeds. If Luke wins, it’ll be 6 champs. That’s 55%.
Like I said, there are more guys lately getting those one-seeds, and there are more/better offseason international results, but it’s something that has happened nonetheless.

OCD Karen

 

[WV lion]

Lack of stall calls are really killing the sport.

 

[WEAREPSU_LI]

WHY NOT PUSH HIM OUT THERE LOL

 

[Tri-Power65]

Sucky match.

 

[NittPicker]

This is boring AF.

 

[o_BruceK-PSU83]

McGowan sure likes to grab the fingers.

 

[NittanyChris]

This ref...wtf?

 

[PSUcup]

Again wtf

 

[razpsu]

Does Luke want to win this? Should be killing him

 

[PortaJ]

Luke has to earn this next stall call. Fire a shot!

 

[WEAREPSU_LI]

Luke you gotta shoot man, this **** is wild.

 

[Sandy2176]

Merrill is NOT “less than average”. Come on. You don’t make the national finals being less than average. His style sucks but it works for him. He’s always wrestled this way and always been extremely successful. Hopefully more guys figure out how to beat him.

Agree. People like to tear people down makes them feel good about themselves

 

[NittanyChris]

McGowan is an embarrassment to the sport.

 

[PSUcup]

Still not 1 shot by Luke

 

[frnkwms1212]

mini dancing bears

 

[marylovesthelions]

STALLING AT LAST. WRESTLE!!!!

 

[Sir Pin Alot]

Going to stall LL to sleep

 

[PSUcup]

This was the worst match I’ve ever seen at nationals

 

[Kingslayer]

McGowan stalling like crazy. Ref allows it. SMH.

Luke isn’t exactly wrestling, haven’t seen any real shots

 

[WEAREPSU_LI]

LUKE LILLEDAHL CHAMP!!!

 

[Misalorales]

Still not 1 shot by Luke

Sort of tough situation for Luke in that regard. Sometimes guys are so good at defense and they wrestle a way that you can't really shoot

 

[NittPicker]

McGowan has a good head slap game though.

 

[backdrft76-1]

2 wins on Stall calls. Ugh....

 

[District 4]

How did mcgowen make it this far

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Lilledahl with a 2-1 DEC over McGowan!!!

 

[WEAREPSU_LI]

Luke isn’t exactly wrestling, haven’t seen any real shots

Dude was tying up his fingers at all times. Luke was pressuring and faking constantly.

 

[cb1994]

Why waste energy if the other guy has no intention of wrestling?

 

[Cali_Nittany1]

McGowan is an embarrassment. Great job Luke!

 

[District 4]

He grabbed the fingers the whole time

 

[o_BruceK-PSU83]

Shame that the NCAA finals had to be a match like that 125 bout. McGowan is awful to watch and makes for a very dull bout.

 

[WEAREPSU_LI]

These fans booing are so stupid. Unless it's LUUUUUUKE.

 

[Sunshine88!]

181.5 NEW POINTS RECORD ! 4 CHAMPS.

 

[NittanyChris]

LUUUUUKE!!!

NATIONAL CHAMP!!!
