My predictions:
125: Heinselman MD over Steen 4-0 OSU
133: *Bout of the night!!! RBY dec Mendez 4-3 OSU
141:BB in a nailbiter over D'milio 6-4 PSU
149: Sasso dec SVN 7-6 OSU
157: Haines MD Gallagher 10-7 PSU
165: Karch dec Facundo 10-10
174: C-Star dec Smith 13-10 PSU (we dont look back from here)
184: Brooks dec Romero 16-10
197: Dean dec Gavin 19-10
Hwy: Kerk MD Orndorff 23-10
*Mendez may give RBY all he can handle tonite. This kid is good. 184 will be a good one too
OK, so I was WAY off. I missed the fall at 125, but I pretty much nailed the next four. I screwed the pooch at 165, called it at 174 and 184, went back to the pooch at 197, and hit a home run at hwy. Final score: 29-9.
You read it here first........I'm predicting that Spenser Lee DOES NOT become a 4-time NC. It's a shame, the kid has the heart of a lion but I dont think his body can stand up to the rigors of a 3 day tournament setting. Him losing would have Hawkeye fans curled up in the corner till June.
You are on to something regarding Spencer Lee. This kid has been a year round wrestler since he started. His surgically repaired body is broken. Pat Glory from Princeton has the ability to beat Lee.
Third time could be a charm for Daton Fix over RBY.
Pretty good prediction Thale. Not giving enough credit to stud RBY who absolutely showed who was the man and who was the boy. What can you say about Levi Haines and I actually felt bad for Gavin Hoffman who just let himself get pinned to escape more pain. I thought the score of Brooks' decision over Romero was deceiving. What match was it that our guy was given 1 point for an illegal move? i thoght it might have been a little bush league but didn't change the result.
What did you think about Starocci's antics with Indiana's Washington? I'm not thrilled with it but then again I'm an old guy.
@sky I've noticed that Glory has wrestled a few times at 133. I can't say there is anything really behind it but on the other hand he might be measuring himself with stronger opponants to ready himself for Lee. Lee looks like he can gas in the 3rd. period.
