Finals Set
/After the always wild Friday night session, we have our finalists as well as the 80 All-Americans for the 2018 NCAA Wrestling Finals.
Penn State's five returning champions swept the semifinals to get back to Saturday night's main event. They lead Ohio State 120.5 to 109.5 and the Buckeyes will need some heroics in the placement matches and likely the finals with some help of some other teams to run down Cael.
The finals start on ESPN2 at 8pm eastern. They will start at 125 to finish with Kyle Snyder and Adam Coon. Three of the finals are rematches of the 2017 finals.
