The wrestling world got the finals it wanted when Penn State wrestling's Mark Hall and Arizona State's Zahid Valencia each won their semifinal matches on Friday night.

Penn State wrestling was 1-2 in the session and locked up its eighth national title in the process.

The Rec Hall rafters are starting to get a bit crowded.

With the big lead, Penn State wrestling seems primed to clinch its eighth national title in nine years during the first matches on Saturday.

Four of Penn State wrestling's six semifinalists will have a bit of drama and history riding on their match-ups tonight.

"We can be a very good team when we want to be. As long as we put our minds in the right spot and keep the simplicity of the game, it can be very easy and very fun, but also look pretty."
