NCAA Wrestling...

It's on!!!

ESPNU that is. If you've got the sports package with DirectTV and are not working today, you'd be able to watch wrestling all day! I'm DVR'ing it as I write.

ESPNU will be covering the quarters and semi's today, with the finals Saturday on ESPN.

Minnesota has two going into the semi's with two more matches at 184(Kish) and HWT(Conrad) in the quarters. Minnesota had two disappointing losses in the earlier quarter round matches with Rivera(#4) loosing to an unseeded Rider wrestler, and CP Schlatter(#4) loosing to #5 seed Poeta from Illinois. Schlatter loosing in the way he always seems to repeat; stalling while ahead.

Overall Minnesota is still in good position for a team championship.

Biggest upset of the tourney so far... Max Askren, #1 seeded freshman from Missouri was upset in the first round and then out for good in the first consolation match.

For more updates look no further than The Guillotine's coverage of Minnesota wrestlers, as well as TheMat.
