Throughout the Cael Sanderson era at Penn State, people have asked when the Nittany Lions were going to under-perform at the NCAA tournament.
If the 2019 Southern Scuffle is any indication, this year could be the year.
The great irony of that notion is that this is also the year that Penn State is so far ahead of the rest of the field that it wouldn’t even matter.
Penn State looked just a step off beat in Chattanooga, and yet the Nittany Lions rolled to the team title and put up a record 216.5 points.
The tournament started out strong enough for the Nittany Lions as they advanced 14 wrestlers into the quarterfinals, but there were early warning signs from Roman-Bravo Young and Brady Berge that things may not be going swimmingly.
