I have the BTN+ app but I can see current and upcoming matches and what mat they are on at the Flo Arena link. Pretty handy.

OK, maybe its just me but when I go to that link and click on an upcoming match, It says nothing about the time or mat they are wrestling on. Am I missing something?

They said he is looking at 141 or 149....I mean if he can make 141 he might kill someone.

THREE BUCKEYES ROLL INTO THE BIG TEN TOURNAMENT FINALS AS EIGHT EARN AUTOMATIC QUALIFICATIONS TO THE NCAA CHAMPIONSHIPS
Three Buckeyes will wrestle for Big Ten titles Sunday, and five more will wrestle in placement matches after battling through the consolation brackets.
It was a big first day of the conference tournament for Ohio State, as all but two members of the team earned automatic bids to the NCAA Wrestling Championships.
Tom Ryan knew his team faced an uphill battle trying to earn automatic bids to the NCAA tournament for all 10 wrestlers in the lineup. The Buckeyes have qualified all 10 each of the past two seasons, a feat that is no small achievement.
“We need some bracket busters,” he told reporters Thursday before flying to New Jersey for the Big Ten tourney. “It's a big challenge for us at '25 and '57, those are the biggest challenges we have getting through.”
His man at 125, true sophomore Malik Heinselman, got the job done and then some. After eating a pin in the first match of the day, Heinselman turned around and pinned the No. 3 seed, Minnesota's Patrick McKee, in the first round of consolations.
McKee hadn't wrestled in about a month after suffering a knee injury in early February, but Heinselman proved his win wasn't a fluke when he turned around and shut out the No. 4 seed, Justin Cardani of Illinois, with a 4-0 decision.
Entering the tournament as the 11 seed, Heinselman will wrestle Sunday afternoon in the seventh place match.
Things didn't go nearly so well at 157, as Elijah Cleary went 1-2 on the day and fell short of what he needed to do to earn an automatic bid.
Neither did Jordan Decatur, who was the 14th seed at 133 pounds and faced Iowa buzzsaw Austin DeSanto in the first round of the tournament. He followed that with a 1-0 loss to perhaps the tallest 133-pounder in the history of the sport.
THREE TO THE FINALS, PLEASE
Sammy Sasso and Kollin Moore entered the Big Ten tournament as the top seeds in their respective brackets, and Luke Pletcher clocked in at No. 2 in his. All three men took care of business, though Pletcher and Moore did so with slightly less drama than did Sasso.
After a first-round bye, Pletcher won an 11-5 decision and an 11-3 major to breeze into a Sunday rematch with Penn State's Nick Lee for a Big Ten title. Moore won with a pair of majors, 18-5 and 16-5, to set up a meeting with Nebraska's Eric Shutlz.
Sasso, on the other hand, made fans sweat a little. His first match of the day, versus Northwestern's Yahya Thomas, went the distance and then some.
After wrestling to a 2-2 draw in regulation and a scoreless sudden victory period, things got interesting in the first set of tiebreakers. Thomas managed a reversal but Sasso's escape and Thomas' second stall call tied things up again. After another scoreless sudden victory period, Sasso managed to escape in his turn from bottom and held on in the final tiebreaker period to earn the 5-4 victory.
Sasso's bend-don't-break style of unbreachable defense and gutting out extra innings drives fans of other teams nuts, but it's what's propelled him to the top of the class and into his first Big Ten final. He'll face Pat Lugo of Iowa, the man he defeated in similar fashion six weeks ago inside Carver-Hawkeye Arena.
FIGHTING FOR THIRD
Ethan Smith, Kaleb Romero, Rocky Jordan and Gary Traub are all still battling for a shot at third place. Entering the tournament as a five seed (Smith) and a trio of six seeds, the Buckeye upper weights all ran into trouble in the quarterfinals and then went on a tear in the consolation brackets.
Smith fell once again to Nebraska's Isaiah White, though this time he held White to a 5-2 decision. He then won back-to-back decisions of five- and six-point margins.
Romero dropped his only loss of the day to Purdue's Dylan Lydy, the No. 3 seed at 174, and then won a 14-5 major and a 6-2 decision to advance to the consolation semifinals.
Jordan lost his second match of the season to Iowa's Abe Assad, then won a 15-2 major decision and led 11-2 when Wisconsin's Johnny Sebastian was unable to finish the match due to injury.
Gas Tank Gary continued to showcase his previously underrated skills, winning a major decision in his first match and then a 14-5 major in the first match of wrestlebacks. His only loss of the day was his second loss of the season to Iowa's Anthony Cassioppi.
Each man is now one match away from the third-place bout, and will finish no worse than sixth in the tournament. Traub faces Wisconsin's Trent Hillger in the consolation semifinals Sunday at noon; Smith faces Shayne Oster of Northwestern, Romero faces Devin Skatzka of Minnesota, and Jordan faces Taylor Venz of Nebraska.
Cleary and Decatur are now longshots to earn at-large bids to the NCAA tournament. Decatur was ranked No. 31 in the most recent Coaches Panel and No. 28 in RPI; Cleary was No. 33 and No. 32, respectively.
Decatur had a better shot at an at-large bid entering the Big Ten tournament, but going 0-2 in Piscataway hurt his cause. Cleary was already on the bubble, but winning one match at the conference tournament might help somewhat.
In any event, there is a very real possibility the season is over for both men. NCAA at-large bids and tournament brackets will be released Wednesday, March 11.

For the most part, we fought back really well in the consolation brackets. Malik did an outstanding job to secure 7th, really didn't see that one coming but glad it did, punch his ticket. Smith was excellent at 165 getting a major decision to cruise into the 3rd place match to get another chance at White for 3rd. Romero pulled off what I consider a big upset in defeating Skatzka, mostly because Skatzka smoked him last time around. That is really going to help his seeding. ThenRocky and Gas Tank both fought back and are in the 5th place match in their weights. Overall, pretty damn good performance. Would definitely like to see 3 titles go down today though.

I definitely think Sasso had a 2pt move before time expired that would've won him the title. But I guess one could make the case that him and Lugo really did split their two meetings because Lugo MAY have been screwed in the regular season match. Looking forward to the (possible) rubber match in 2 wks.

Finished the tournament off pretty well with all things considered. Finishing above PSU was nice, but was hoping we'd place above Nebraska. Glad both of our seniors in the finals won. I really thought Sasso had a takedown at the end there but it was very close. And with how fast the refs reviewed it, must haves apparently not have been 2. Shouldn't have tried to finish that shot out the back door though, takes too long to finish. Hoping Sammy gets revenge at the NCAAs, needs to wrestle more aggressively next time though.
