You guys do have a long way to go! - Basch & The Brain Intern

Aaron Seidel is a MAD MAN TOO! 17 points in his first match, 22 in his second. 39 points in his first two matches at NCAA's.

The "🧠" crown may be on the line... @JustinJBasch leads @MatScouts1 through the first 7 wights with correct Quarterfinalists picks in the bracket!

@MatScouts1 and @JustinJBasch have killed it this week! Thanks for all the content from @baschamania.

Down goes the 3 seed! #14 Jacob Moran of Indiana upsets #3 Nic Bouzakis of Ohio State with a 10-2 major & he'll move on to the Quarters! #MarchMATNess

So cool!

Penn State is rolling into Cleveland with SEVEN #1 Seeds. In the past decade, they've had 5 National Champs twice: the 2016-2017 and the 2021-2022 seasons. Both tied the sport's best. Nobody has ever had more than 5. Will it be the year Penn State breaks another record??

Have had some people ask about team points & how they are scored. So, for you, a Team Points Scoring Guide for the 2026 NCAA Championships.

In 2022 David Carr entered NCAA's as returning champ. He lost in Round 2. Then won 6 straight matches to take 3rd. All 6 were All Americans. 5 of the 6 were 2x AA's. One was against fellow defending National Champ Austin OConnor. Find a better backside run.

Jax could shatter an almost 80-year-old record! 😳 No true freshman has gone undefeated and won an NCAA title since 1947! This weekend, Oklahoma State's Jax Forrest could do just that at 133lbs, where he'll enter as the #1 seed. The wild thing? Sergio Vega could do it as well at 141!

Nittany Lions on the Verge of More History?! Penn State's Josh Barr and Mitchell Mesenbrink are both heading into the NCAA's with a perfect record & 100% bonus on the year. If they bonused out through the tournament, they'd be the first ones to truly have 100% bonus for a full season in the Hodge era. "Truly" because their coach, Cael Sanderson, kinda did it himself back in 2002, but with a *. Cael had an official bonus rate of 100% his senior year, but had 2 unofficial decisions during the year. He decisioned Lee Fullhart in Midlands finals, who had already graduated, and he decisioned at the NWCA All-Star Classic. Will Barr & Mesenbrink make more history for PSU??

Just a BRUTAL choice for a practice mat at the hotel. 😵‍💫

Despite 6 teams bringing all 10 guys and making up almost 20% of the field, more schools and fan bases will be represented in the NCAA D1 Wrestling Championships in 2026 than in the D1 Basketball Championships!

Final Crystal Ball is up! Learn it, Love it, Live it. Basch & The Brain live tomorrow morning going over Crystal Ball, WrestleStat Brackets, NCAA Odds, and Paths for Podium Team Contenders. rokfin.com/ranking/4903/F… @JustinJBasch @WrestleStat
