Hard to describe how close this is. If MN wins both their matches, they win (unless PSU wins both their matches by fall or tech fall).

If MN splits and PSU wins both their matches, PSU wins.

Starting order starts at 174 and ends at 165. This could come down to Taylor needing a win or possibly a pin to win the team.

I despise the ncaa and espn, but this has been a great production from start to finish.

If Ruth takes care of business early, then it could come down to someone stopping this at the end of the night:

I remember the first time I saw David Taylor wrestle. I was impressed to say the least. He’s an animal. I think he changed weight classes in HS in order to wrestle some other standout in the finals. That took guts.

This has been one very exciting tournament. I have watching on ESPN3 where you can pick which mat you want to see. That's the first time I've done that and it works great. I'm looking forward to tonight and watching it on the big screen. For what is worth, here's my picks for finals tonight.

174 - (1) Perry (OKSt) over (2) Howe (OU) by decision.
184 - (2) Ruth (PSU) over (1) Sheptock (MARY) by dec
197 - (1) Heflin (tOSU) over (2) Cox (MIZZ) by dec
285 - (2) Gwaizdowski (NCSt) over (1) Nelson (MiNN) by fall
125 - (2) Garrat (COR) over (1) Delgado (IlL) in SV
133 - (3) Ramos (IOWA) over (5) Graff (Wiscy) by dec
144 - (2) Stieber (tOSU) over (4) Carter (VT) by MD
149 - (5) Tsirtsis (NW) over (11) Kindig (OKSt) by MD
157 - (3) Dieringer (OKSt) over (9) Ness (MINN) by dec
165 - (1) Taylor (PSU) over (2) Caldwell (OKSt) by fall

Ok, the last one is a bit of wish on my part. I'd like to see Taylor set PSU's all time pin record. (He's tied right now.) He'll at least get a major.
