The Big Ten Wrestling Championships begin this Saturday at Michigan State’s Breslin Center. Penn State, which won the regular season B1G title with a 9-0 mark and is the defending Big Ten and NCAA Champion, is certainly a favorite to win the tournament. But Ohio State is right behind the Lions and the title is not necessarily a runaway. Unless you are a PSU fan, in which case you believe it is your birthright. Sorry, I’ll step down from the soap box now.
Last year, Rutgers finished the tournament tied for eighth place with Wisconsin. Anthony Ashnault was RU’s only individual titlist st 141 pounds.
