The level of respect they showed each other after the match was pure class by both of them. Class is shown when it matters most.

All the early international competition has helped US wrestling. Fantastic athletes, great performances, better scoring, all has rebuilt this sport. Great to see hard competition and sportsmanship.

These guys are so good now, and it’s incredible to see the huge progression of the sport in the past 30 years.

Thats why the regular season doesnt mean shit! What a tournament Lee, Carr, RBY and so many more upsets! One of the best tournaments I've seen in a long time

Lee and RBY yeah, Carr doesn't fit here. O'Toole had far better odds than Lee and RBY's matches.

[@33moneyball]

No…this is why we have the tournament. The regular season absolutely matters but it’s hardly the entire picture. The meaning isn’t negated because the 1 seed doesn’t take the title every single time.

[@bc5208]

0-2 vs Carr during the season, his ONLY 2 LOSSES ALL SEASON and came back in the NCAA FINALS to avenge his losses and win the national championship. Oh not to mention the kid he beat is also a former NCAA champion.

O’Toole was physically dominant and just sharp with his wrestling tonight. Made Carr look average when it really mattered.

A bit more fresh. Carr had a gauntlet. Past champ and last yr 2nd place

[@dillonmackay683]

@@ReticsKeegan knew if he was on the top side he would’ve had the gauntlet so he lost twice to Carr to make sure he was the 2 seed, and Carr came in 3rd last year

[@aledmondson4616]

Ah Whatever dude. You obviously didn't watch the match very well. O'toole took how many shots? He stalled when he needed to do it, with no calls. The refs gave them both too much respect by not calling things that were easily seen but they wanted to be careful and ended up punishing Carr. A cradle shows control, then O'toole popped his head out. He nearly twisted O'toole's knee off without even a mention of potentially dangerous. He could've gotten hurt and ended the match.. This match was very closely contested and nothing about either of them looked average. You should have borrowed Spencer Lee's mom's glasses before she wrangled them In A fit of rage..😂😂

Can’t be said enough the level of respect from both athletes. Class acts both of them. Congrats to both of them. At the end of the day though I came to say MIZ.

[@brucewallace3860]

Not only are these two class acts and outstanding wrestlers, it should be noted that Quincy Monday went to consolation round, after a close loss to Carr in the semis, and took the 3rd place medal. No forfeit.

[@ryancastilleja]

So many great matches every year at this tournament. The NCAAs will never let a wrestling fan down. Its not possible like in other sports. If the best two guys in a weight class lose in the semi finals, the finals match will still be a banger! The dreams these guys live on the mat is like nothing else

[@sethjones2712]

o’toole is so good but i must say i feel like he’s jumped level in 2024 because he has beaten guys a weight up and guys who we thought were gonna be contenders keagan has showed that he’s the man at this weight

[@xzjayz7925]

I’m a little late but he bumped up like once. And it was against Edmond Ruth. Who took 7th at 174. While still impressive, Keegan is a big 165 pounder. Like Carr they run the weight class.

Two class acts.....wow! Great color commentary team!

[@dangerpowers4582]

In my opinion, what makes this win so great is the mental toughness Keegan O'Toole displayed during this match. Keegan stated that he once lacked a lot of confidence, which was costing him tough matches. To see him overcome that in such a badass way is awesome. In my opinion, Keegan O'toole is Wisconsin's best wrestler.

[@connorvroegh6247]

Even though Carr had tougher way through to the championship like Burroughs said. O’toole still wrestled an all American in Carson kharchla in the quarters and all American Cameron amine in semis so he also had tough side to the championship.

[@xzjayz7925]

No where NEAR as tough as Carrs side which is ridiculous as the number 1 seed.

[@artkazyak3242]

Where's all those Carr fans saying oh he will definitely own Otoole at Nationals. It's hard to beat someone 3 times in the world of wrestling

[@larrywilcox5282]

"It's hard to beat someone 3 times in the world of wrestling"...This is true. Especially when that person is really great wrestler in his own right.

[@xzjayz7925]

Def is hard to beat someone 3 times lmfao. As we just found this out a few days ago with Carr v O’Toole and Arujau V Crookham.

[@jackbauer408]

Carr’s side of the bracket was so much harder. He was way too burnt out

[@yesman3709]

Keegan O'Toole looked like he was giving WRESTLING LESSONS in both of his NCAA Championship Finals (2022 with Shane Griffith & 2023 with David Carr). David Carr's Muhammad Ali shuffle in the first few seconds of the match may have been David's way of saying, I'VE ALREADY DEFEATED THIS CHUMP TWICE. Signed OverConfident. That's how I interpreted it. After the match both wrestlers were gracious.

[@jakepavlovic6348]

For real, don't understand how carr backs up showboat and runs off the mat and doesn't get a stalling call in the first 10 seconds.

[@BhavyaRama]

Good luck to both of them for the next season, I would love to see carr win ncaa’s again but both these guys are amazing

Great match, this is what sportsmanship is all about. KO wrestled close to the perfect match against a guy who already had beat him 2x! In most cases you would have thought DC would come out the winner again. Nope, KO looked hungry and like he wanted this, Title. He had the eye of the Tiger,lol.
