11:04 p.m. — The headline news from day two at the NCAA Wrestling Championships is that redshirt sophomore 184-pounder Trent Hidlay has made tomorrow night's gold-medal bout, after a double-overtime victory in the semifinals.

"It's been a long time working to get to this point at the NCAA Tournament," he said. "For it to be tight in the team race, I'm just trying to put on for my team, and it means a lot to me [to be able to score team points and reach the NCAA finals].

"I really didn't wrestle very well [in the semifinals]. … It's just survive and advance, get ready for the next one and finish on top."

Hidlay marks the sixth Wolfpacker in head coach Pat Popolizio's nine years at NC State to make the NCAA finals (13th overall). He'll take on No. 1 Aaron Brooks (Penn State), who is undefeated this season. Hidlay has one loss, which he avenged in the ACC finals.

Hidlay's semifinals win helped put NCSU in a tie for sixth place in the team standings, with 56.5 points, just two points behind No. 5 Michigan and one point ahead of No. 8 Minnesota. Top eight at the end of the day:

1. Iowa - 109

2. Penn State - 94.5

3. Oklahoma State - 86.5

4. Arizona State - 67

5. Michigan - 58.5

t6. NC State, Missouri - 56.5

8. Minnesota - 55.5

The Pack has tied a school record with four All-Americans and will have three more competing tomorrow morning, starting at 11 a.m. — 174 Daniel Bullard will wrestle for seventh place, while 141 Tariq Wilson and 157 Hayden Hidlay will be in action in the consolation semifinals. Their points earned in the wrestlebacks could determine whether NC State finishes among the top four and claims a team trophy, or not. Though they'll need a near-perfect effort for that to happen, they should finish among the top 10 nationally.

Details on the Wolfpack wrestler's opponents and how it went today are below in our live blog, under the day two recap video.

10:28 p.m. — No. 8 174 Daniel Bullard falls, 7-4, to No. 4 Mikey Labriola (Nebraska) and will wrestle for seventh place tomorrow morning against No. 26 Jackson Turley (Rutgers) .

10:12 p.m. — It took extra time, but NC State will have an NCAA finalist again — 184-pound redshirt sophomore and No. 2 seed Trent Hidlay advances to tomorrow night's championship match with a 2-1 win in tiebreakers over No. 6 John Poznanski (Rutgers).

Hidlay will face No. 1 Aaron Brooks (Penn State) in the NCAA finals tomorrow night.

174 Daniel Bullard will be the last Wolfpacker to wrestle tonight, he's in the consolation quarterfinals vs. No. 4 Mike Labriola (Nebraska). 141 Tariq Wilson and 157 Hayden Hidlay are already in tomorrow morning's consolation semifinals.

9:20 p.m. — No. 2 157-pounder Hayden Hidlay fell in one of the most anticipated semifinals against No. 3 David Carr (Iowa State), 6-4. Carr had a takedown at the end of the first period and in the third as well to prevail.

Hidlay will compete in tomorrow morning's consolation semifinals. He can still finish as high as third.

9:09 p.m. — No. 8 174-pounder Daniel Bullard won his first ACC title this year and now adds his first NCAA Tournament placement, guaranteeing a top-eight finish and All-America honors with a dominant 7-0 win over No. 11 Austin Murphy (Campbell).

It's official — NC State will tie the school record with four All-Americans, set in 2018. Now, they'll try to match their fourth-place team finish and NCAA team trophy from that season.

In the consolation quarterfinals tonight, Bullard will wrestle No. 4 Mike Labriola (Nebraska). He and Bullard haven't wrestled since a 7-5 Labriola win in the 2019 NCAA Championships, but Labriola is 2-0 in his college career against Bullard.

8:43 p.m. — No. 4 141-pounder Tariq Wilson gets caught late near the end of a scoreless first period by No. 1 Jaydin Eierman and is pinned with one second left in the frame. He'll drop to the consolation semifinals, which are wrestled tomorrow morning. He'll face No. 8 Chad Red (Nebraska).

8:25 p.m. — No. 6 125-pounder Jakob Camacho falls in the second tie-breakers (essentially quadruple overtime) with a 6-5 loss to WVU's Killian Cardinale, and he is eliminated one win shy of All-America honors.

5:25 p.m. — We are down to the semifinals in the championship bracket and blood round in the consolations. The latter means those remaining in consolations are one win away from securing a top-eight finish and All-America honors.

Tonight's session starts at 8 p.m. with coverage on ESPN and ESPN3. Five from the Wolfpack will be in action, including three in the semifinals, which ties a school record set in 2018 — 141 Tariq Wilson, 157 Hayden Hidlay and 184 Trent Hidlay. (Scroll down to read more about each individual's upcoming matchup).

Hayden Hidlay has been one of the most dominant wrestlers in the entire event, scoring bonus points in all three of his matches so far and notching 13.5 team points, 0.5 behind event leader Spencer Lee of Iowa to tie for second. Trent Hidlay currently ranks 10th (12), with two technical falls and a decision victory.

In the consolations, 125 Jakob Camacho and 174 Daniel Bullard are still alive. If those two win their next match, the Pack would set another new school record this year with five All-Americans (they had four in 2018, when they tied for fourth in the NCAA and took home a team trophy).

NC State is in fourth place right now. Here's how the top five in the team standings rank going into tonight, in addition to how many each team has still alive:

1. Iowa (73.5)

2. Penn State (57.5)

3. Oklahoma State (51.0)

4. NC State (46.0)

5. Missouri (40)

4:57 p.m. — No. 17 165-pounder Thomas Bullard fell 2-1 against No. 9 Luke Weber (ND State) and is eliminated after a 2-2 performance at NCAAs.

He is the last Wolfpacker to wrestle this session.

4:28 p.m. — No. 10 heavyweight Deonte Wilson is in the wrestlebacks and gave up an early takedown, then nearly reversed No. 26 Nathan Traxler (Stanford), but Traxler wound up putting Wilson on his back and securing the pin. That will eliminate Wilson from competition with a 1-2 record at the event.

3:54 p.m. — No. 2 174-pounder Trent Hidlay secures All-America honors and a top-six finish with a quarterfinals win over No. 7 Brit Wilson (NIU), 3-1. The difference was a takedown at the end of the second period.

In the semifinals tonight, Hidlay will take on Rutgers freshman John Poznanski, who entered the No. 6 seed and upset No. 3 in the quarterfinals. They have not wrestled in college before.

3:36 p.m. — No. 8 174-pounder Daniel Bullard falls 13-4 to No. 1 Michael Kemerer (Iowa) in the quarterfinals and drops to tonight's blood round.

His opponent there will be No. 11 Austin Murphy (Campbell). Despite the two programs being in the same state, they haven't wrestled in college yet.

3:26 p.m. — No. 17 Thomas Bullard gets some huge bonus points against No. 31 David Ferrante (Northwestern) in the wrestlebacks, and notches a 9-1 major decision. It's not often Bullard scores bonus points without a single turn on top, but three takedowns, a reversal and the riding time point get it done.

He'll wrestle again later this session and face No. 9 Luke Weber (ND State) for the right to wrestle in tonight's blood round. The winner of Bullard-Weber will face No. 6 Keegan O'Toole (Missouri) for All-America honors.

1:04 p.m. — No. 12 133-pounder Jarrett Trombley falls to No. 19 Chance Rich (CSUB), 5-4, and is eliminated with a 2-2 record in his first NCAA Championships.

12:26 p.m. — No. 2 157-pounder Hayden Hidlay gets NC State's first pin of the tournament, dominating with a pair of early takedowns and a couple of turns before completing the first-period fall.

He's officially the program's first-ever four-time All-American and will wrestle in tonight's semifinals against No. 3 David Carr (Iowa State). They have never wrestled in a college match before, though Hidlay did post a 10-5 win over Carr in folkstyle wrestling last October at Senior Nationals (college wrestling is what's called folkstyle, and the rules differ from freestyle, which is what is done in the Olympics and internationally).

11:59 a.m. — No. 4 141-pounder Tariq Wilson moves on to the semifinals with a 3-1 victory over No. 21 Real Woods (Stanford). That also means Wilson has clinched All-America honors and is guaranteed and top-six finish for the second time in his career.

He'll face No. 1 Jaydin Eierman (Iowa) tonight for a spot in the NCAA finals. They have not wrestled before in college.

11:48 p.m. — No. 12 133-pounder Jarrett Trombley stays alive win a 4-0 win over No. 27 Jacob Allen (Navy) in the consolation bracket. He'll face No. 19 Chance Rich (CSUB) later this session for the right to wrestle No. 10 Louie Hayes (UVA) in the blood round tonight.

11:17 a.m. — No. 6 125-pounder Jakob Camacho gives up a second-period takedown and that's the difference in a 4-2 loss to No. 3 Brandon Courtney.

He drops to the consolation bracket, where he'll be back in action tonight. His first match will be in the blood round, where the winner becomes an All-American and the loser falls one match shy of placing among the top eight.

Camacho will face No. 17 Killian Cardinale (WVU) in the blood round tonight. The two met in the first dual of the 2019-20 season, Camacho's dual debut when Cardinale was at Old Dominion, and Cardinale pulled out a 6-5 win.

10:55 a.m. — Competing in the championship quarterfinals this morning will be: 125-pounder Jakob Camacho, 141-pounder Tariq Wilson, 157-pounder Hayden Hidlay, 174-pounder Daniel Bullard and 184-pounder Trent Hidlay.
