Each wrestler from tOSU who wins 1st place in the Big Ten Tournament at Penn State this weekend will pay out.
 
Good vBet. Tough road for the Bucks, with no #1 seeds. Safest bet, IMO, is Sponsellor. Was upset by the kid from Wisconsin (#1 seed), but he won't lose to him twice. My favorite long shot is Reece Humphrey. It's an awfully tough weight class, but he has the ability, the toughs, and the smarts to win it all.

At the end of the Day 1, only Humphrey has a chance at a title:

125 - Triggas lost his first match to an unseeed wrestler, then lost to the #5 seed

133 - Humphrey beat the #5 seed, then took out the #1 seed in the semis, he faces the #2 seed in the final

141 - Jaggers lost to the #1 seed in the semis, he needs to win 2 matches to get third place

149 - Palmer lost to the #6 seed in the quarters, he needs to win 2 more matches to get third place

157 - Johnstone lost his first match to an unseeed wrestler, then lost to the #6 seed

165 - Sponseller beat the #7 seed, then lost 1-2 to the #3 seed, ne needs to win 2 matches to get third place

reece Humphrey just lost in the finals on a gut wrenching Overtime decision to Michigan State.
Tough loss for Humphrey but an impressive tournament upset run.

I thought he had it won in the (sudden-death) first OT period. He picked the guy up, and was taking him down, but on the way down the Spartan was able to grab a leg and get a neutral position as they went to the mat.

Then in the 2nd and 3rd OT periods, Reece couldn't get an escape in 30 seconds and his opponent did.
